Powertrain Analysis
The Daihatsu Move Canbus uses the KF Series 658 cc inline three-cylinder engine with a 12-valve cylinder head. The naturally aspirated configuration produces approximately 52 PS, while the intercooled turbocharged configuration reaches the 64 PS maximum applicable to kei-car output.
Both engine configurations use a D-CVT dual-mode continuously variable transmission. Drivetrain selection includes front-wheel-drive 2WD and four-wheel-drive 4WD layouts, pairing the 658 cc powertrain with compact kei-car packaging.
Chassis and Dynamics
The Move Canbus is built on the DNGA, or Daihatsu New Global Architecture, platform. The architecture combines lightweight rigidity with a lower center of gravity within the tall-wagon body configuration.
Its kei-car format is engineered around a compact exterior footprint for urban maneuverability and parking-space access. The platform accommodates the 2WD and 4WD drivetrain configurations without changing the four-passenger cabin classification.
Dimensions and Practicality
The cabin provides seating for four passengers beneath a tall roofline. Dual power-sliding rear doors provide rear-seat access in restricted side-clearance parking locations, while the tall-wagon body prioritizes interior volume within kei-car regulations.
Storage equipment includes floor-level pull-out drawers and under-seat trays for bags and groceries. Cabin equipment includes heated seats, warm-up drink holders, touchscreen infotainment with smartphone integration, digital instrument readouts, and 360-degree UV-cut acoustic glass.
