Daihatsu Makes Some Improvements to Its Mini Passenger Vehicle MOVE Models Daihatsu Creates Custom Grades for MOVE Models Marketed at Affordable Prices Repricing Hyper-Grade Models to Make Them Affordable while Improving Interior Textures

MOVE CUSTOM X "Special" MOVE CUSTOM RS"Hyper SA II"

Daihatsu Motor Co., Ltd. ("Daihatsu") is pleased to announce the nationwide launch of the partially improved models of its mini passenger vehicle MOVE and mini welfare vehicle MOVE FRONT SEAT LIFT on June 21, 2016.

MOVE is one of the main vehicle models for Daihatsu. It was created in 1995 as the Company's first specious mini vehicle, and since then the series has been popular among male and female customers of all ages. Daihatsu conducted a full-scale restyling in December 2014, greatly enhancing the MOVE's basic performance with a newly developed lightweight and high-rigidity body framework structure, suspension improvements, greater fuel efficiency, and low prices, the essential qualities of mini vehicles. Daihatsu also loaded MOVE with various items of advanced equipment that were previously unavailable in mini vehicles, aiming to enhance this line of vehicles. Going one step further, Daihatsu established "Hyper" grade for the MOVE series of mini passenger models, making them the highest car grades that pursue the ultimate level of quality.

To coincide with the latest improvements, Daihatsu has expanded the range of customer choices. One of these selections is the new CUSTOM X "Special" grade, which was established to offer MOVE CUSTOM in an affordable price range.

In addition, Daihatsu changed the interior decor and specifications for the "Hyper" grade MOVE CUSTOM models. It enhanced the interior textures, such as the adoption of a glossy black cloth for garnishing instrument panels, decorating the door ornament panels, and replacing the seat stitching with silver stitching. Daihatsu made other changes as well, such as the provision of the Genuine Navigation Installation and Upgrading Pack, which is normally positioned as a manufacturer's option, as a standard feature to make those models a good buy.

Daihatsu also quickened the automatic lighting, a standard MOVE feature, and has revised other specifications. It also changed some of the interior colors used in the Black Interior Pack, a manufacturer's option set for all MOVE models.

Daihatsu made the MOVE FRONT SEAT LIFT in the friendship series simpler and easier to use and more accessible in terms of price*1 in an effort to make prospective customers feel closer to this welfare vehicle model.

With the aforementioned partial specification changes, Daihatsu lowered the prices by 6,000 yen across the board for MOVE models in all grades to make them more affordable.

*1. Most accessible in terms of price among vehicles manufactured by automakers, supplied with a lift for wheelchairs, and equipment for anchoring wheelchairs, and exempted from the consumption tax imposed on the vehicle (Daihatsu survey).
