The model was first presented at the Tokyo Motor Show in 1966 and was offered on the domestic market from July 1967 at a price of ¥ 490,005.
In 1970 the model was offered with 2 side benches on the loading area, which increased the capacity to 8 seats.
The windshield could be folded down, but this was no longer allowed due to new safety standards from 1970 and was changed in production.
The Unicab was intended more for younger buyers as a recreational vehicle and for the city and therefore had no all-wheel drive.
The car was not in demand by the army either, although in 1972, the Indonesian National Armed Forces purchased several hundred units for the Navy and Coast Guard.
