Strip the Daihatsu Move Canbus back to its specification sheet and the character is already there: Petrol engine, 38 kW. Daihatsu built from 2016, as electrification stopped being an experiment and the crossover took every market. Hideaki Osawa (Chief designer) / Nobuhiro Hata drew it.
The background
The Daihatsu Move Canbus (Japanese: ダイハツ・ムーヴキャンバス, Hepburn: Daihatsu Mūvu Kyanbasu) is a retro-styled semi-tall kei car with rear sliding doors manufactured by the Japanese carmaker Daihatsu since 2016. Despite adopting the "Move" nameplate, the car shared its underpinnings with the Tanto instead.
The engineering
Power comes from Petrol engine; 38 kW is the published figure; other versions carried different engines, listed in the specification table below. It weighs 910 –. Work it out per tonne and you get about 42 horsepower — leisurely, which for a car of its age and purpose is the point. It shifts through a CVT. The wheelbase is 2455 mm. These are manufacturer figures carried by Wikipedia and Wikidata, not road-test measurements.
Where it sits
Its family tree is legible: it took over from the Daihatsu Move Conte; assembly was at Ōyamazaki, Kyoto. Its contemporaries in the catalogue — the Datsun redi-GO, the Renault Kwid, the Honda S660 — show what else the money bought that year. Its Daihatsu stablemates include the Daihatsu Applause and the Daihatsu Atrai.
