Daihatsu Motors Co. is the Japanese carmaker best known for its small urban vehicles with boxy lines. The company has released a full photo gallery of its fifth generation Move that has been unveiled in Japan.

The company’s smallest car burns as little as 3.7 liters of fuel every 100 kilometers (65.5 mpg), making it the most fuel-efficient petrol engined model available in Japan. Paired to a CVT gearbox, the second-generation 660 cc KF engine produces 52 hp and 60 Nm, with the power driving either the front wheels or all four wheels.

More “impressive” than the power provided are the technologies embedded in the small engine, which include a start-stop system, a plastic electronic throttle body and the world’s first i-EGR (i-Exhaust Gas Recirculation) system that monitors the combustion state through the use of ions. This is the first time a CVT gearbox without an electric oil sump has been fitted with idle-stop system. The advanced little Move also features an auxiliary power unit, preventing problems such as the resetting of the navigation system once the engine is stopped.

The pint-size 2011 Daihatsu Move model measures just 3395 mm (11 ft 2 in) in length (the new 2011 Fiat 500 Sport is 3546 mm or 11 ft 8 in) with a wheelbase of 2455 mm (8 ft 1 in). The Japanese manufacturer said it has shaved 35 kg or 77 pounds from the weight of the previous model, through a series of measures such as weight loss dashboard, door panels and other components.

The all-new Daihatsu Move in front-wheel drive form costs from ¥1,066,000 to ¥1,372,000 ($12.700 to $16.310), while a more trendy 2011 Daihatsu Move Custom will set Japanese customers back between ¥1,247,000 and ¥1,534,000 (U.S. $14.830 to $18.250). The automaker said it is targeting monthly sales of 12,000 units in Japan.

Japanese small car manufacturer Daihatsu has managed to triumph over its much larger cousin Toyota as far as non-hybrid passenger cars on the Japanese market are concerned. The company’s small car, called the Move, burns as little as 3.7 liters of fuel every 100 kilometers (63 mpg), while Toyota only manages 3.77 l/100 km with its redesigned Vitz, which will be released later this month.

Daihatsu said fuel efficiency improved to the 27km/litre mark, the highest achieved using the Japanese test cycle, through measures including the adoption of a newly developed idle-stop system called 'eco idle', an updated second-generation KF engine and an approximate 35kg (77lbs) reduction in weight. According to the manufacturer, stopping the engine automatically to save fuel when the car stops improves fuel efficiency by 2km/liter.

The small Japanese manufacturer says that it is the first company to combine idle-stop with a CVT transmission without an electric oil sump. The systems also include an auxiliary power unit, preventing problems such as the resetting of the navigation system once the engine is stopped, a Japanese market first according to just-auto online publication.

Other weight savings were achieved by the usage of a plastic electronic throttle body and the CVT gearbox, which also provides optimal power delivery while saving fuel. The flash memory navigation system fitted to the model is also equipped with an eco-driving function, providing Japanese motorists with the optimal fuel-efficient driving on the basis of driving condition analysis, and an energy-saving route search feature that recommends the most fuel-efficient route to the destination.
