Story

Aiming to be the "next-generation best small car", it newly developed a light, highly rigid body structure. Production continued for nearly nine years, more than double the previous span.

Stories

01

Head sway down to small-car levels

With the sixth-generation Move, Sudo and his team made improving basic performance the biggest step forward. At its core was a new lightweight, high-rigidity body structure, the "D monocoque," combined with suspension improved specifically for the Move. The seat structure was also renewed and the driving position revised in detail, reducing head sway to the level of a compact car, with the aim of driving without fatigue.
