The Daihatsu Move is a kei car, produced by Japanese automaker Daihatsu since August 1995. The Move is design to be as tall as compact cars like the Suzuki Wagon R. Daihatsu successfully sold 500,000 Moves during its first three years of production. The Move is built upon the chassis of the Daihatsu Cuore but with a taller body. The second generation Move (L900) used the same chassis as the first generation (L600). In 2002, the third generation Daihatsu Move (L150/L160) was introduced.
In October 2006, the fourth generation Move was introduced. A KF-VE-type non-turbo engine and a continuously variable transmission (CVT) were available on this model, providing superior acceleration performance and higher fuel efficiency of 23 km/L. This latest Move is also one of the few kei cars available with optional side curtain airbags. (The Honda Zest was the first.)
Variations on this model include the Grand Move, Move Latte (Simply known in the US as the Latte (Perhaps sold under the Toyota marque since in February 1992, Daihatsu phased out of the US) (Arriving In Toyota Showrooms in August 2008 as a 2009 model)) and Move Custom. The Daihatsu Naked (only available in Japan) is also based on the Daihatsu Move bodyshell, although with a different facelite, body and door trim. They come in a variety of trims and optional accessories. Recently, a hybrid version of the Move, based on the Daihatsu Pyzar, has been manufactured. It uses both gasoline and electricity.
In addition to the 660 cc engine, the Move is also supplied with 850 cc and 1000 cc engine for export markets.
In Malaysia, Perodua also manufacture a version of the Move called the Kenari.
In China, under the joint venture between First Automobile Works and Toyota, a petrol and electrical version of Miles ZX40, based on the Daihatsu Move, were manufactured.
