Daihatsu Move
Daihatsu Move is most popular in Japan
Sure! Here's a simple, human-style overview of the Daihatsu Move, written the way you'd explain it to someone curious about buying or learning about the car:
Daihatsu Move – The Small Car That’s Surprisingly Spacious
The Daihatsu Move is a Japanese kei car — which means it’s compact, fuel-efficient, and built mainly for city driving. It’s one of the more popular imported mini cars in Pakistan, and people love it for how roomy, light, and economical it is.
What’s Under the Hood
Most models come with a 660cc petrol engine, paired with a CVT automatic transmission. It’s not meant for speed or power, but it’s:
-
Super fuel-efficient
-
Smooth to drive
-
Great for crowded roads and tight parking
Features You Get
Depending on the variant and model year, you’ll find:
-
Power steering & power windows
-
Digital climate control
-
Push start / smart key
-
Eco idle (auto start-stop)
-
Reverse camera
-
Some newer trims even offer collision warning and lane assist
Despite being a small car, it doesn’t feel “cheap.” The interior has a clean and smart layout, and it’s surprisingly spacious inside, even for tall people.
Fuel Average
This is where the Move shines:
-
18 to 22 km/l in real-world city driving
-
Even better on highways if you drive gently
Some users report going up to 24–25 km/l with careful driving and regular maintenance.
Price in Pakistan (Used Imports)
Prices vary depending on year and trim level:
-
Older models (2008–2012): PKR 10–13 lac
-
Mid-range (2013–2016): PKR 14–18 lac
-
Newer models (2017–2020): PKR 19–25 lac
-
2021+ models: Up to PKR 30+ lac in top trims like “Custom RS”
Maintenance & Spare Parts
-
Routine parts (oil filter, brake pads, plugs) are easily available and affordable
-
Body parts and sensors may be expensive or need to be imported
-
Most good mechanics in big cities can handle it
It’s reliable if maintained well, and doesn’t give much trouble if you use good fuel and change CVT oil on time.
What to Watch Out For
-
Low ground clearance (can scrape on speed breakers if loaded)
-
CVT gear issues if neglected
-
Weak on steep hills or with 4-5 adults on board
-
Imported cars don’t always have local warranty or full parts backup
Should You Buy It?
Yes — if you want a practical, fuel-saving car for city use, the Daihatsu Move is one of the best options. It’s small outside, big inside, and loaded with features in newer trims. Just be sure to get a good-condition import and keep up with regular maintenance.
