It was designed to be: Affordable Mechanically simple Easy to repair roadside Taxi-friendly Modifiable Lore The Tancho used a simplified engine derived from the 1963 Ibishu Miramar, chosen for reliability and mechanical simplicity. It featured: Seating for 6 occupants Minimal safety equipment Basic interior Extremely simple electronics In 1997, it received a facelift: New grille Passenger-side mirror 3-point seatbelts Despite Ibishu releasing modern vehicles like the Pessima, CrossSport, and Yoru internationally, the Tancho remained largely unchanged in Mexico.
