The Daihatsu Move (Japanese: ダイハツ・ムーヴ, Daihatsu Mūvu) is a kei car/city car manufactured by the Japanese automaker Daihatsu between August 1995 and June 2023. The Move was Daihatsu's response to the similarly designed Suzuki Wagon R that was introduced two years earlier in 1993. The first Move was designed by Italian design house I.DE.A Institute and succeeding generations continued to build upon the original design. The Move is built upon the chassis of the Mira but with a taller body.

Kerb weight690–800 kg (1,521–1,764 lb)

The first-generation Move was designed by I.DE.A in Turin, Italy.[1] It was marketed with a 659 cc three-cylinder engine in Japan and with an 847 cc (51.7 cu in) ED-20 engine in export markets. The Japanese domestic market models were internally designated L600, or L610 when equipped with four-wheel drive system; export models were internally designated L601. In 1997, a variant marketed as the Move Custom was introduced with larger headlamps and revised front styling, and was available in subsequent generations.

Daihatsu produced more than half a million L600/L610 Move models, mostly in Japan. It was imported to Europe, including the UK; its 1999 successor was not exported to Europe.

The Move was also offered with the turbocharged 659 cc JB-JL all-aluminium four-cylinder engine producing 64 PS (47 kW; 63 hp) and using the internal designation L602; this version was only available with front-wheel drive.[2] This four-cylinder version was originally the only version of the Move which was available with a four-speed automatic transmission; in May 1996 this became available with the turbocharged three-cylinder engine and proceeded to gradually spread downwards through the grades. The export model's ED-20 engine produced 44 PS (32 kW; 43 hp), offering more torque than the naturally aspirated 660 cc engines thanks to the larger displacement. The turbocharged engine was not offered in Europe due to its excessive emissions.[1] The export model has a top speed of 130 km/h (81 mph), 125 km/h (78 mph) in the version with an automatic transmission.

International markets

[edit]

In Malaysia, Perodua manufactures a version of the Move called the Kenari.

In China, the FAW Tianjin joint venture between First Automotive Works and Toyota produces a petrol and electrical version of the Move. The electric version is exported to the US as the Miles ZX40.[citation needed]

The first two generation Moves were also exported to Europe, where they also went by the Japanese market name. Due to poor sales, Daihatsu did not export the third or fourth-generation Moves to Europe after the brand's departure from the continent, making it strictly a Japanese domestic market model.
