Derived from "public" and "car," the name signifies "a car cherished by the public." The name was chosen in a public naming competition that attracted nearly 1.1 million entries.
The payload capacity was 500 kg, which was 100 kg larger than that of the previous-generation Publica truck. The engine was a 1-liter water-cooled 4-cylinder unit producing 58 PS (2K), and the transmission was a 4-speed manual. A 1.2-liter 68 PS engine (3K) was added to the engine lineup in January 1972. To comply with the emission and noise standards, a 1.3-liter engine (4K-J) became the standard engine for the Publica pickup. A 5-speed manual transmission was adopted in August 1985, and other upgrades continued to be added until production was discontinued in 1988.
