Which Daihatsu Move Conte to buy: 0.7 AT vs 0.7 CVT, 52 vs 58 vs 64 hp, FWD vs AWD
If you are choosing a Daihatsu Move Conte rather than reading a general overview, the numbers pick the car for you. Across August 2008–March 2017 the model stayed a Mini 5-doors kei hatch with a 658 cm³ Gasoline inline-3 and a 36-litre tank.
Which Daihatsu Move Conte to buy: 0.7 AT vs 0.7 CVT, 52 vs 58 vs 64 hp, FWD vs AWD
If you are choosing a Daihatsu Move Conte rather than reading a general overview, the numbers pick the car for you. Across August 2008–March 2017 the model stayed a Mini 5-doors kei hatch with a 658 cm³ Gasoline inline-3 and a 36-litre tank. What changed is power (52, 58 or 64 hp), gearbox (0.7 AT four-speed Automatic vs 0.7 CVT Variable), drive (FWD or AWD), kerb weight (820–930 kg) and 0–100 km/h (15.2–18.6 s). The fastest, lightest-per-horsepower buy is the restyled and first-generation 0.7 CVT 64 hp FWD (15.2 s, 13.75 kg/hp). The slowest and heaviest-per-horsepower daily driver is the restyled 0.7 CVT 52 hp AWD (17.5 s, 16.92 kg/hp). AWD always adds 50 kg. After June 2011 the Automatic disappears and the 58 hp tune is gone.
Daihatsu Move Conte generations: what actually changed for a buyer
The catalogue lists two generation records, but they are one generation and its restyling.
1 generation (August 2008–May 2011) — Mini 5-doors, six versions. This is the only period with 0.7 AT. Four of six cars make 58 hp (43 kW) at 7200 rpm and 65 Nm at 4000 rpm; two make 64 hp (47 kW) at 6000 rpm and 103 Nm at 3000 rpm. FWD 0.7 AT 58 hp is the lightest Move Conte in the whole dataset at 820 kg. Ground clearance is 160 mm on 58 hp FWD, 155 mm on 58 hp AWD, 145 mm on both 64 hp cars.
1 generation, restyling (June 2011–March 2017) — Mini 5-doors, four versions, all 0.7 CVT. The 58 hp engine is replaced by 52 hp (38 kW) at 6800 rpm and 60 Nm at 5200 rpm. The 64 hp pair is carried over at the same 47 kW / 103 Nm figures. Automatic is not offered. Kerb weights run 830–930 kg.
Buyer arithmetic on the restyling: the naturally aspirated tune lost 6 hp and 5 Nm versus the 2008–2011 58 hp cars, and peak torque moved 1200 rpm higher (4000 → 5200). Specific output fell from 88.1 hp/L (58 hp ÷ 0.658 L) to 79.0 hp/L (52 hp). The 64 hp cars stay at 97.3 hp/L. Boost is not measured on every version; do not assume a turbo from the torque jump alone.

Two cars can share the name 0.7 CVT or 0.7 AT. Separate them by horsepower and drive: 52 vs 58 vs 64 hp, FWD vs AWD.
Move Conte performance: 0–100, top speed, fuel average
Top speed is not measured on any version. City, highway and combined fuel consumption are not measured on any version — searches for “Move Conte fuel average” or mpg cannot be answered from this dataset.
0–100 km/h, ranked fastest to slowest
1. 0.7 CVT 64 hp FWD (both generations): 15.2 s 2. Restyled 0.7 CVT 64 hp AWD: 15.9 s 3. First-gen 0.7 CVT 64 hp AWD, first-gen 0.7 CVT 58 hp FWD, restyled 0.7 CVT 52 hp FWD, restyled 0.7 CVT 52 hp AWD: 17.5 s 4. First-gen 0.7 AT 58 hp FWD: 18.0 s 5. First-gen 0.7 AT 58 hp AWD and first-gen 0.7 CVT 58 hp AWD: 18.6 s
The restyling’s real performance gift is the 64 hp AWD: 17.5 s became 15.9 s (−1.6 s) at the same 930 kg. The 64 hp FWD did not get quicker (still 15.2 s). The 52 hp restyle FWD matches the old 58 hp CVT FWD at 17.5 s despite 6 hp less, because it is 30 kg lighter (830 vs 860 kg). The 52 hp AWD is also 17.5 s: 30 kg lighter than the old 58 hp CVT AWD (880 vs 910 kg) and 1.1 s quicker than that 18.6 s car.
AWD cost in seconds, same engine and gearbox: 0.7 AT 58 hp +0.6 s (18.0 → 18.6); first-gen 0.7 CVT 58 hp +1.1 s (17.5 → 18.6); first-gen 0.7 CVT 64 hp +2.3 s (15.2 → 17.5); restyled 0.7 CVT 64 hp +0.7 s (15.2 → 15.9); restyled 0.7 CVT 52 hp +0.0 s (both 17.5).
CVT vs Automatic at 58 hp FWD: Variable is 0.5 s quicker (17.5 vs 18.0) but 40 kg heavier (860 vs 820). At 58 hp AWD, CVT and Automatic both take 18.6 s; CVT is 40 kg heavier (910 vs 870).
Torque that actually arrives: 64 hp versions make 103 Nm at 3000 rpm — 38 Nm more than 58 hp (65 Nm) and 43 Nm more than 52 hp (60 Nm), and 1000–2200 rpm earlier. That is the gap you feel in a tall Mini 5-doors, not the 6 hp between 58 and 64.
Dimensions, weight, ground clearance, tank
Tank is 36 litres on every version. Gross weight and wheel sizes are not measured. Body type does not change: Mini 5-doors.
Kerb weight (lightest → heaviest) 820 kg — 0.7 AT 58 hp FWD (2008–2011) 830 kg — 0.7 CVT 52 hp FWD (2011–2017) 860 kg — 0.7 CVT 58 hp FWD 870 kg — 0.7 AT 58 hp AWD 880 kg — first-gen 0.7 CVT 64 hp FWD; restyled 0.7 CVT 52 hp AWD; restyled 0.7 CVT 64 hp FWD 910 kg — 0.7 CVT 58 hp AWD 930 kg — both-generation 0.7 CVT 64 hp AWD
AWD is +50 kg in every matched pair. The 64 hp FWD is 60 kg heavier than the lightest AT FWD (880 − 820) and 50 kg heavier than the restyled 52 hp FWD (880 − 830).
kg per horsepower (lower is better) 13.75 — 0.7 CVT 64 hp FWD (880/64), both generations 14.14 — 0.7 AT 58 hp FWD (820/58) 14.53 — 0.7 CVT 64 hp AWD (930/64), both generations 14.83 — 0.7 CVT 58 hp FWD (860/58) 15.00 — 0.7 AT 58 hp AWD (870/58) 15.69 — 0.7 CVT 58 hp AWD (910/58) 15.96 — 0.7 CVT 52 hp FWD (830/52) 16.92 — 0.7 CVT 52 hp AWD (880/52)
Ground clearance 160 mm — 58 hp FWD (AT and CVT) and restyled 52 hp FWD 155 mm — 58 hp AWD (AT and CVT) and restyled 52 hp AWD 145 mm — every 64 hp 0.7 CVT, FWD and AWD, both generations
Choosing 64 hp costs 15 mm versus the 58/52 hp FWD cars and 10 mm versus the 58/52 hp AWD cars. Interior packaging is not measured.
Which Move Conte version to choose
Buy the restyled or first-gen 0.7 CVT 64 hp FWD if the car is for paved city and highway. Same 15.2 s, same 880 kg, same 145 mm, same 103 Nm at 3000 rpm in both generations. This is the lowest mass per horsepower (13.75 kg/hp) and the highest specific output (97.3 hp/L). The restyling does not make this FWD quicker; pick year for condition, not for a spec jump.
Buy the restyled 0.7 CVT 64 hp AWD if you need four driven wheels and still want the strong engine. It is the only AWD that improved in the restyling: 17.5 s → 15.9 s at the same 930 kg. Versus 64 hp FWD you pay 50 kg, 0.7 s and the same 145 mm clearance. Versus restyled 52 hp AWD you gain 12 hp and 43 Nm, lose 50 kg of lightness (930 vs 880) and 10 mm of clearance (145 vs 155), and cut 1.6 s off 0–100.
Buy first-generation 0.7 AT 58 hp FWD if you want the lightest car and a four-speed Automatic. 820 kg is unique. You give up 0.5 s to the 58 hp CVT FWD and 2.8 s to the 64 hp CVT FWD, but you keep 160 mm clearance. This gearbox exists only until May 2011.
Do not buy first-generation 0.7 AT or 0.7 CVT 58 hp AWD unless Automatic-plus-AWD is the only combination you will accept. Both take 18.6 s — tied for slowest. The AT AWD is 40 kg lighter (870 vs 910). After 2011 this pairing is gone.
Treat restyled 0.7 CVT 52 hp as the “later, simpler” FWD/AWD, not as an upgrade on 58 hp. Power is 6 hp and 5 Nm down; specific output is 9.1 hp/L worse (79.0 vs 88.1). FWD 52 hp is 30 kg lighter than FWD 58 hp CVT and matches its 17.5 s; AWD 52 hp is 30 kg lighter than AWD 58 hp CVT and 1.1 s quicker. Clearance stays 160/155 mm. If you want a 2011–2017 car (including a 2014 example) without the 64 hp torque curve, this is the remaining pair — not because it is stronger.
Custom / Custom RS: this dataset does not name trim lines. In the numbers, the “hot” mechanical package is the 64 hp 0.7 CVT (103 Nm, 15.2–15.9 s, 145 mm). There is no separate RS row.
Price in Pakistan, for sale, Move Conte price: not in this data. Compare only hp, Nm, seconds, kilograms and millimetres.
Short decision tree
- Fastest FWD, best kg/hp → 0.7 CVT 64 hp FWD (2008–2011 or 2011–2017).
- Fastest AWD after restyling → 0.7 CVT 64 hp AWD (2011–2017), 15.9 s.
- Lightest, only Automatic → 0.7 AT 58 hp FWD (2008–2011), 820 kg.
- Maximum clearance, later CVT, no 64 hp → 0.7 CVT 52 hp FWD (2011–2017), 160 mm, 830 kg.
- AWD with 160-class clearance → 52 hp AWD restyle (155 mm) or 58 hp AWD first gen (155 mm); skip 64 hp AWD if 145 mm is too low.
Reliability and owner reviews are not measured here. What is measured is that every Move Conte in this catalogue is a 658 cm³ Gasoline Mini 5-doors with a 36-litre tank, Euro 4, disc front / drum rear, and that the version you should buy is the one whose horsepower, drive and gearbox line up with 15.2 s and 13.75 kg/hp — or with 50 kg of AWD and 160 mm of clearance — not a generic “Daihatsu Move Conte” average.
