Daihatsu Tanto Engines and Transmissions
The Daihatsu Tanto engine lineup focuses on simplicity and urban usability. Most versions use a small, naturally aspirated three-cylinder unit tuned for smooth low-speed response and excellent fuel economy, paired with a continuously variable transmission (CVT) that keeps revs low during relaxed driving. Some markets also offer a turbocharged variant of the same engine, giving extra mid-range pull without sacrificing the car’s easygoing character.
