The Daihatsu Pyzar (Japanese: ダイハツ・パイザー, Daihatsu Paizā), sold in some export markets as the Daihatsu Gran Move, is a mini MPV which was manufactured by the Japanese automaker Daihatsu from 1996 to 2002. It is based on the chassis of the G200 series Charade.[2] The name "Pyzar" is derived from the Mongolian-era Silk Road traffic permit, "Paizah".[3]

The Pyzar has a 50/50 split folding rear bench seat, which provided for it being registered as a four-passenger vehicle in most countries. With the rear seat folded, the Pyzar's cargo compartment has a length of 1,500 mm (59.1 in).[citation needed]

Mid-life facelift

edit

After three years in the market, the Pyzar received a mild facelift; the front fascia was slightly altered (the headlamps had clear turn signals) and body decals were rearranged to more in-line with the smaller L600 series Move's styling. Concurrently, a version with the 1.6 L engine replaced the previous 1.5 L one in export markets, except for the Japanese market, where both engines were sold together until the end of the sales in August 2002.[4]
