The {{nihongo|'''Daihatsu Move'''|ダイハツ・ムーヴ|Daihatsu Mūvu|lead=yes}} 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 [[Daihatsu Mira|Mira]] but with a taller body.

The first-generation Move was designed by [[I.DE.A Institute|I.DE.A]] in Turin, Italy.<ref name=Repubblica97>{{cite news | url = https://ricerca.repubblica.it/repubblica/archivio/repubblica/1997/05/19/daihatsu-move-il-coraggio-di-osare.html | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20210707130719/https://ricerca.repubblica.it/repubblica/archivio/repubblica/1997/05/19/daihatsu-move-il-coraggio-di-osare.html | archive-date = 2021-07-07 | title = Daihatsu Move, il coraggio di osare | trans-title = Daihatsu Move, the courage to dare | language = it | date = 1997-05-19 | first = Maurizio | last = Caldera | newspaper = [[La Repubblica]] }}</ref> It was marketed with a 659&nbsp;cc [[Straight-three engine|three-cylinder]] engine in Japan and with an {{convert|847|cc|cuin|abbr=on}} ''[[Daihatsu E-series engine#ED|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 [[headlamp]]s 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 [[Turbocharger|turbocharged]] 659&nbsp;cc ''JB-JL'' all-aluminium [[Straight-four engine|four-cylinder]] engine producing {{cvt|64|PS|kW hp|0}} and using the internal designation L602; this version was only available with [[front-wheel drive]].<ref name=Goo602>{{cite web | url = http://www.goo-net.com/car/DAIHATSU/MOVE/E-L602S.html | title = ムーヴ(ダイハツ)の総合情報:型式 E-L602S |trans-title=Daihatsu Move general information: L602 type | work = Goo-net | publisher = Proto Corporation | language = ja | access-date = 2013-09-24}}</ref> 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 {{cvt|44|PS|kW hp|0}}, offering more torque than the naturally aspirated 660&nbsp;cc engines thanks to the larger displacement. The turbocharged engine was not offered in Europe due to its excessive emissions.<ref name=Repubblica97/> The export model has a top speed of {{cvt|130|km/h|mph|0}}, {{cvt|125|km/h|mph|0}} in the version with an automatic transmission.

The second-generation Move was introduced in October 1998 and was also marketed in Malaysia with slight modifications as the [[Perodua Kenari]]. Power of the Japanese market engines are {{cvt|45|PS|kW|0}} for the basic ''EF-SE'', {{cvt|58|PS|kW|0}} for the 12-valve ''EF-VE'' and {{cvt|64|PS|kW|0}} for the turbocharged ''EF-DET'' and ''JB-DET'' engines.

In May 1999 a [[Hello Kitty]] special edition, targeted at female drivers, was introduced. This was based on the CL model and was fitted with Hello Kitty emblems, decals, seat covers, and gauges. It also received a front bench seat, unlike other standard Moves, and the door lock knobs were shaped like the Sanrio character. A CVT option was added to the Move CX and Z4 models at the same time. The Move received a light facelift in October 2000, with revised bumpers (with additional vents up front, redesigned marker lights at the rear) and redesigned one-piece taillights. The taillights on the Move Custom were extended downwards at the same time.

The third-generation Move was introduced in October 2002 and has a rounded derivative called [[Daihatsu Move Latte|Move Latte]]. The side opening rear gate was retained, but a top-hinged rear door was available as an option. The model code was L150, with L160 signifying four-wheel drive (only available with the EF engine) and L152 indicating that the car had the JB family four-cylinder engine. In addition to the regular Move series, there was again a sportier Move Custom, which received more aggressive looking twin headlights with semi-circular cutouts in the front bumper. The range included the L, X, and R (turbocharged), either as Move or Move Custom, with the Move Custom RS and RS Limited with sports suspension at the top of the price list. The RS models with front-wheel drive were the only models which were fitted with the four-cylinder, all-aluminium JB-JL engine. A host of special editions became available soon after introduction.

The lineup received a gentle facelift in December 2004, along with minor reshuffling of the trim variants.<ref name=RecruitL150>{{cite web | url = https://www.carsensor.net/catalog/daihatsu/move/F003/ | archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20211207141243/https://www.carsensor.net/catalog/daihatsu/move/F003/ | archivedate = 2021-12-07 | title = ムーヴ（ダイハツ）2002年10月～2006年9月生産モデルのカタログ | trans-title = Move (Daihatsu) catalog, models produced from October 2002 to September 2006 | language = ja | work = CarSensor | publisher = Recruit Co., Ltd. }}</ref> The grille, bumpers, and taillights were redesigned, with the grille no longer extending downwards into the front bumper. The Move R was discontinued and replaced by the lower-cost L-Turbo, while the Move Custom RS Limited was removed from the price lists. The manual transmission option was restricted to the Move L (front- or four-wheel drive). Special editions kept appearing at a steady pace until the third generation was replaced in October 2006, after over 650,000 examples had been built.

The fourth-generation Move was introduced in October 2006 and its design was a departure from the boxy look of the previous generations. A ''[[Daihatsu K-series engine#KF|KF-VE]]''-type non-turbo engine and a [[continuously variable transmission]] (CVT) were available on this model; a turbocharged engine remained an option for the Move Custom. The L175 has a derivative called [[Daihatsu Move Conte|Move Conte]].

In December 2008, the Move received a small facelift, including new grilles and head- and taillights. The interior was also changed and equipment inmproved, with the adjustable package (seat height, tilt steering wheel, and adjustable height shoulder belt) becoming standard across the range.<ref name=0812facelift>{{cite press release | url = https://www.daihatsu.com/jp/news/2008/20081215-01.html | archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20240119054128/https://www.daihatsu.com/jp/news/2008/20081215-01.html | archivedate = 2024-01-19 | title = 「ムーヴ」をマイナーチェンジ | trans-title = Minor change for the Move | language = ja | date = 2008-12-15 | publisher = Daihatsu Motor Co., Ltd }}</ref> The Custom L was renamed Custom S, while the regular lineup was consolidated from five into three equipment grades.

The fifth-generation Move was introduced in December 2010. The car is also sold by [[Subaru]] as the second-generation {{nihongo|[[Subaru Stella]]|Japanese: スバル・ステラ|Subaru Sutera}} through an [[Original equipment manufacturer|OEM]] agreement. In an effort to further improve fuel economy, the new Move was equipped with [[Start-stop system|idle-stop technology]] and it was {{cvt|35|kg|lb|0}} lighter than the fourth generation.<ref name=Nik10>{{cite news| url = https://www.nikkei.com/article/DGXNASDD1309D_T11C10A2000000/ | archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20241201192947/https://www.nikkei.com/article/DGXNASDD1309D_T11C10A2000000/ | archivedate = 2024-12-01 | title = ダイハツ、新型「ムーヴ」発売 最高燃費27キロ | trans-title = Daihatsu releases new "Move" with maximum fuel economy of 27km/l | language = ja | date = 2010-12-13 | newspaper = [[The Nikkei]] }}</ref> These efficiencies and parts reductions also lowered the cost of manufacture by about ten percent, allowing Daihatsu to lower prices while increasing equipment over the previous generation.<ref name=Nik10/>

In December 2012, the Move received a light facelift, with a redesigned, blockier front end and new taillights.<ref name="Dai12.20">{{cite press release |title=ダイハツ軽乗用車「ムーヴ」 |date=2012-12-20 |publisher=Daihatsu Motor Co., Ltd. |url=https://www.daihatsu.co.jp/wn/2012/1220-1/20121220-1.pdf |language=ja |trans-title=Daihatsu minicar "Move" |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20131203011459/https://www.daihatsu.co.jp/wn/2012/1220-1/20121220-1.pdf |archivedate=2013-12-03}}</ref> Daihatsu's "Smart Assist" collision avoidance system was new, and a first for the kei class.

Aerodynamics were also improved, while the fuel tank was shrunk - from {{cvt|36|to|30|L|usgal|1}}.

The sixth-generation Move was introduced in Japan in December 2014, along with the third-generation Stella. This generation features a lightweight high-rigidity body structure with a reinforced underbody, improved suspension system, and a power mode-switching steering switch that allows drivers to change the control of the engine and CVT at the touch of a button. It has a derivative called the [[Daihatsu Move Canbus#LA800|Move Canbus]].

Fuel economy is claimed at {{convert|31|km/L|0|abbr=on}} while turbocharged models (Custom models only) delivering {{convert|27.4|km/L|0|abbr=on}}.<ref>{{cite web |title=ダイハツ 新型ムーヴ（2014年フルモデルチェンジ）発表会速報 |trans-title=Daihatsu New Move (2014 Fully Redesigned) Launch Report |url=http://autoc-one.jp/daihatsu/move/launch-2005078/ |website=autoc-one.jp |language=ja}}</ref>

The sixth-generation Move was discontinued in June 2023 along with several other Daihatsu models, amidst the scandal involving rigged safety tests at Daihatsu.<ref>{{cite news |date=2024-04-01 |title=新型ムーヴはスライドドア採用で24年秋登場か!? オラオラ顔のカスタム仕様は登場なるか？ |trans-title=Will the new Move with sliding doors be released in the fall of 2024?

The seventh-generation Move went on sale since 5 June 2025. Contrary to previous generations, this model is a [[microvan]] with rear [[sliding door]]s and is based on the [[Daihatsu New Global Architecture]] platform.<ref>{{cite news |last=Pappas |first=Thanos |date=2025-06-05 |title=This Tiny Minivan Disappeared For Two Years Now It's Back With Sliding Doors |url=https://www.carscoops.com/2025/06/daihatsu-move-is-back-with-sliding-doors-and-sporty-rs-trim/ |website=Carscoops |publisher=Carscoops |location=US |access-date=2025-06-05}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Lye |first=Gerard |date=2025-06-05 |title=2025 Daihatsu Move launched in Japan – seventh-gen kei car now with sliding rear doors; 658 cc NA/turbo |url=https://paultan.org/2025/06/05/2025-daihatsu-move-launched-in-japan/ |access-date=2025-06-09 |website=Paul Tan's Automotive News |language=en-US}}</ref> The rebadged model, the Subaru Stella, was unveiled later in the same month.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Vijayenthiran |first=Viknesh |date=2025-06-12 |title=New Subaru Stella Is The Most Un-Subaru Car We've Seen Since The Casa Blanca |url=https://carbuzz.com/2025-subaru-stella-revealed/ |access-date=2025-06-15 |website=CarBuzz |language=en}}</ref>

The Move features an X-shaped design for its front fascia along with slim headlights connected to the grille, L-shaped vertical taillights. It is also available with two style packages called Dandy Sports and Noble Chic (directly translated from Japanese). For the first time in the model history, the Move features rear sliding doors which comes standard for all trims (except the entry-level L trim) with a powered feature for the doors and a touch-and-go lock system.

Inside, the interior was designed for utility with four-seat configuration and many storage spaces, includes a storage area below the central air vents for the [[wireless charging]] pad. There is a new digital panel used for the [[HVAC system]], a redesigned steering wheel, a [[touchscreen]] infotainment system (7, 9, or 10 inches) and the high mounted gear selector next to the HVAC controls.

== International markets ==
In Malaysia, [[Perodua]] manufactures a version of the Move called the [[Perodua Kenari|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 was exported to the US as the [[Miles Electric Vehicles#ZX40|Miles ZX40]].{{citation needed|date=July 2020}}

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.
