Numbers first, because with the Daihatsu Move they are the story: Petrol engine, 45 PS. Daihatsu built from 1995 to 2025, when airbags, anti-lock brakes and Japanese build quality became the world standard. The shape is credited to Justyn Norek at I.DE.A Institute.
Where it came from
The Daihatsu Move (Japanese: ダイハツ・ムーヴ, Hepburn: Daihatsu Mūvu) is a kei car/city car manufactured by the Japanese automaker Daihatsu between 1995 and 2023, and was reintroduced in 2025. The Move is 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.
Under the skin
The engine is Petrol engine; the output is 45 PS; other versions carried different engines, listed in the specification table below. On the scales it comes to 690 –. That is roughly 65 horsepower per tonne: unhurried — enough for the job, not for the bragging. Drive goes through a 5-speed Manual transmission / manual / 3-speed Automatic transmission / automatic / 4-speed automatic. The wheelbase is 2300 mm. These are manufacturer figures carried by Wikipedia and Wikidata, not road-test measurements.
