Toyota Pixis Space: a tall kei class hatchback and what to know
Toyota Pixis Space — the tall-bodied kei class car from Japan, sold under the Toyota badge as the Daihatsu Move Conte variant. We take a look at what this car is all about, its tech, and what to check when buying used.
Pixis Space in brief
Pixis Space — Toyota's name for the Daihatsu Move Conte, which Daihatsu produced from 2011 to 2017. It's a five-door kei class car with a tall body, spacious interior, and simple, practical cabin trim.
Technically, it's no different from the Move Conte — it varies only in badges and some trim details.
Who's it for?
Pixis Space is ideal for those who need a small yet spacious car for city driving. The tall body and wide interior space allow even taller people to sit comfortably.
It's not designed for sporty driving or long motorway journeys, but rather for everyday practical use.
Engine and transmission
Pixis Space comes with a 660 cm³ three-cylinder petrol engine, sometimes with a turbocharger (in the sportier 'Custom' versions), and CVT. The drive is front-wheel, with all-wheel drive in some versions.
Power is limited by kei class standards (up to 64 hp), so the performance is less dynamic than in traditional cars.
What to check when buying a used Pixis Space
Inspect the body for rust, check the CVT operation (no juddering), engine noise, and brakes. Test all doors, windows, and interior functions.
Since the car is imported from Japan, check the mileage according to the auction or service documents and ensure it meets your country's registration requirements.
Trim levels
Trim levels vary by year; below are two of the most common.

| Wheels (usually) | Alloy | Light alloy |
| Engine | 660 cm³ | 660 cm³ (often turbocharged) |
| Price in the used market (relatively) | Budget | Mid-range |
Most buyers will be happy with the L version, but the Custom is worth considering for its looks and turbo option.
