In past days, vehicles for taxis were based on commercially available two-wheel drive cars of 1500 - 2000 cc displacement with a little change in design; however, because the same commercially available cars have been switched from FR to FF in recent years, as well as because the pursuit of vehicle comfort, vehicles exclusively for FR drive taxis have been being developed in recent years.
以前は1.5～2リッター級二輪駆動方式の市販車をベースに若干の設計変更を施した車両を使っていたが、現在ではそのクラスの市販車がFRからFFに切り替えられ、またタクシーとしての快適性の追求と合わせて、FR駆動のタクシー専用車が開発されるに至った。
