The seventh-generation Daihatsu Move has been unveiled in Japan, where it will be sold in four trim levels with pricing ranging from 1,358,500 to 2,024,000 yen (about RM40k to RM60k). Depending on the selected trim level, the Move will either come with a naturally-aspirated or turbocharged engine.
Both engines have displacement of 658 cc, with the NA unit serving up 52 PS (51 hp or 38 kW) at 6,900 rpm and 60 Nm of torque at 3,600 rpm. Meanwhile, the turbo engine makes 64 PS (63 hp or 47 kW) at 6,400 rpm and 100 Nm at 3,600 rpm. A CVT is the only transmission offered, although buyers can choose whether they want front- or all-wheel drive.
The maximum power output of the Move is in line with Japan’s kei car regulations, and so are the vehicle’s dimensions. The Move is small, measuring in at 3,395 mm long, 1,300 mm wide, 1,655 mm tall and with a wheelbase spanning 2,460 mm.
The latest Move is built on the Daihatsu New Global Architecture (DNGA) and features a more dynamic look compared to its predecessor. The X-shaped bumper is joined sleek headlamps that are connected to the upper grille, while the vertical taillights meet with the beltline that swings upwards near the large rear window.
In addition to the standard appearance, the Move can also be optioned with one of two style packages called Dandy Sports and Noble Chic (directly translated from Japanese). The former adds on plenty of dark accents for a sporty look, while the latter gets copper-coloured trim for a touch of elegance.
It’s also worth noting that this generation of Move is the first to come with sliding rear doors, which makes ingress and egress a lot more convenient in tight parking spaces. Once inside, you’ll notice the dashboard design isn’t too dissimilar to the outgoing model, as the layout looks rather familiar.
However, there are some notable changes such as the new digital panel for the air-conditioning system. The storage cubby below the central air vents has also been made larger to accommodate a wireless phone charger, while the storage area above the glove box that previously had a latched lid is now exposed.
Other revisions include a new steering wheel design and there are now smaller stowage areas near the corner air vents. Daihatsu offers infotainment touchscreens in nine- and 10-inch sizes, with a wide range of other accessories also available. The automaker also makes available a comprehensive ADAS suite with up to 17 functions, most of which come standard, such as autonomous emergency braking, lane departure warning and adaptive cruise control.
Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
bring back the kenari!
If this kechil car arrives in P2 showroom,it can only be priced , 60 to 70 k.
Any pricing lower,the Myvi ,Bezza,Axia get cannabalised.
But if u price it that upper price band..the Ativa and Alza also got hammered.
So,P2 will never self destruct…they r quite comfortable with their overpriced line up.
Bear in mind,newer Daihatsu rebadged models…P2 will have to fork out handsome royalties.
i see many similar comments here asking kenari to return. but honestly, the kenari wasnt selling well. So how would P2 bring Kenari back? nak bankrupt ke?
This kind of car should be coming to malaysia…practical and environmentally betterthan those huge suvs and supercars
It will be nice if Perodua bring this to Malayisa as next gen Kenali, nostalgia!
It’s just cool to get digital sliding doors.
The car parks are too cramped, all the nice cars dah calar, kemek
I wonder how Daihatsu will now differentiate this with Tanto.
P2, please bring Kenari back…
Omg love dis kei car. Rear sliding doors, Turbo AWD is the way to go! What chance P2 rebadge?
We don’t need EVs. We want more Kei cars, P2 !!!
Who is ‘WE’?? Since when your opinion represent everyone? Lol. Many low IQ losers think too highly of themselves
LOW IQ. Anda ke?
Perodua Kenari~!
should includr special model that has oku easy accessibility chair
Price wise for similar dimension and price (with sliding door) for Perodua can be this Kenari replacement OR Toyota Sienta platform.
P2 already have that aRuz, aTiv and aLza product offering which can develop option for sliding door?
Now this is one Perodua i wont mind buying.
NBox is just too expensive.
I think Daihatsu Taft is nicer then this
