The Daihatsu Move returns in its seventh generation, consolidating itself as an icon among Japanese Kei cars and promising significant innovations for urban mobility. This type of vehicle is known for maximizing interior space and efficiency in compact dimensions, a philosophy that the Move has always exemplified, including in previous generations of international markets.
The main novelty of this generation is the sliding rear doors, some of which are electric, a radical change that increases practicality in tight spaces, something unprecedented in the model. The front design adopts a unique, robust and functional visual identity, in line with the car’s proposal, differentiating itself from the more aggressive approaches of other compacts.
Mechanically, the Move respects the limitations of Kei cars with a 658 cc engine (52 hp naturally aspirated or 64 hp turbo) and contained dimensions (3.4 m x 1.48 m). Combined with a CVT transmission and all-wheel drive option, it focuses on agility and efficiency, offering surprising interior versatility thanks to the modular rear bench and new doors.
