Daihatsu Move Canbus

The Daihatsu Move Canbus (ダイハツ・ムーヴキャンバス) is a retro-styled semi-tall kei car with rear sliding doors manufactured by the Japanese carmaker Daihatsu since 2016. Despite adopting the "Move" nameplate, the car shared its underpinnings with the Tanto instead.

Etymology
The name "Canbus" is a combination of the verb "Can", describing the car's ability, and the noun "Bus", describing the car's bus-like shape and inspiration from the Volkswagen Type 2, which was also known as the "Bus".

Overview
The Move Canbus borrowed its overall design from the Hinata concept car. The Hinata was first showcased at the 2015 Tokyo Motor Show alongside the Tempo food truck and Noriori wheelchair accessible van concepts.

The Canbus is targeted towards the female sales demographic.

First generation (LA800; 2016)
The first-generation Move Canbus was sold between 2016 and 2022. The Move Canbus was introduced as a retro-styled sister model to the Move, despite sharing its underpinnings with the tall-height Tanto.

Second generation (LA850; 2022)
The second-generation Move Canbus was unveiled on 5 July 2022. Built on the Daihatsu New Global Architecture (DNGA) platform, it is divided into 'Stripes' and 'Theory' sub-models, with the Stripes variants having a white top half & end of the hood, while the Theory variants are purely a single metallic/pearl colour.

Trims
Both of the sub-models of the Move Canbus are divided into trim levels.

The trim levels range from (lowest to highest):


 * X
 * G
 * G Turbo

Safety
The Move Canbus is equipped with Smart Assist (Warning:Link In Japanese)] as an option found in roughly 3 million units. It features a  'Stereo Camera ', which recognizes the surrounding situation & supports the driver's driving. The Stereo Camera is fitted with a start suppression device which immobilizes the car depending on the surrounding situation, which has been certified by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport & Tourism. The Move Canbus is also fitted with an emergency stop signal, & 6 SRS Airbags as standard, including Dual Frontal SRS Airbags, Dual SRS Side Airbags, & SRS Curtain Airbags. The G Turbo trim is fitted with Cornering Trace Assist, which is optional on the G trim. Cornering Trace Assist detects if the vehicle is bulging outward during a turn, then applies brake control to the inner wheels to improve turning performance & assist cornering. The Move Canbus is fitted with ESC, ABS & Frontal Seat Belt Pretensioners fitted with Load Limiters as standard.

Sales
In July 2022, Daihatsu set a sales target at 6,500 units for the Move Canbus, at the time of transitioning from the first to second generation. The Move Canbus managed to exceed the target in 2023.
