Daihatsu Move Canbus Kei Car Petrol Cars
The Daihatsu Move Canbus is a stylish and practical kei car designed to offer efficient urban mobility, making it well-suited for New Zealand’s varied driving environments. With its compact dimensions—typically around 3.4 meters in length and a narrow width of approximately 1.475 meters—the Move Canbus easily navigates tight city streets and parking spaces common in Auckland, Wellington, and Christchurch.
Under the bonnet, the petrol turbocharged engine delivers a balance of performance and fuel efficiency. Kei cars in Japan are restricted to 660cc engines, and the Move Canbus follows suit with a turbocharged variant that optimises power output without sacrificing fuel economy. This smaller engine size offers excellent fuel consumption rates, often achieving upwards of 20 km per litre under favourable conditions—a valuable attribute considering New Zealand's fluctuating petrol prices.
The vehicle’s lightweight design enhances handling while maintaining stability on New Zealand’s mixed road surfaces, from urban asphalt to rural highways. Its turbocharged petrol engine provides responsive acceleration needed for motorway merging and overtaking maneuvers outside cities like Hamilton or Tauranga.
Inside, the Move Canbus features a surprisingly spacious cabin relative to its external size. High roof height improves headroom comfort—a plus for taller occupants—and large windows enhance visibility essential for safe driving on narrow suburban lanes and winding rural roads common in regions such as the Bay of Plenty or Waikato.
Additional conveniences include automatic transmission options and advanced safety features like multiple airbags, anti-lock braking system (ABS), and electronic stability control (ESC). These systems assist drivers navigating wet conditions frequently encountered during New Zealand’s rainy seasons.
Overall, the Daihatsu Move Canbus petrol turbo stands out as an efficient, easy-to-drive kei car ideal for city dwellers and small families requiring a versatile vehicle adapted to both urban congestion and light rural use within New Zealand.
