    From boxy to flowing

    To create a kei car on a completely new level rather than an extension of the past, the fourth-generation Move was renewed throughout, from the platform to the engine. The styling changed from the previous boxy style to an emotional form drawn with flowing lines. With a long wheelbase that boldly placed the tires at the four corners and a flat rear floor with no tunnel, it went further in roominess as well.
