The Daihatsu Move Conte (Japanese: ダイハツ・ムーヴコンテ, Hepburn: Daihatsu Mūvu Konte) is a kei car built by the Japanese automaker Daihatsu from 2008 to 2017. It was a cosmetic variation of the L175 series Move. It had two engine options: a naturally-aspirated 658 cc KF-VE and a turbocharged 658 cc KF-DET three-cylinder petrol engines that produces 38 kW (51 hp; 52 PS) and 47 kW (63 hp; 64 PS) respectively.[5] The Move Conte was also available in Custom model.

In September 2011, a Toyota-badged version of the Move Conte, the Toyota Pixis Space (Japanese: トヨタ・ピクシススペース, Hepburn: Toyota Pikushisu Supēsu), was launched.[6] The Move Conte, along with the Pixis Space, were both discontinued in March 2017. The Move Canbus replaced the Move Conte, while the Pixis Space was later replaced by the Pixis Joy.

There also was a special edition version of the Move Conte featuring Daihatsu mascot Kakukaku Shikajika, who was used in advertising for the car at the time.[7]

The name "Conte" is derived from the word "container", referring its boxy shape. The name also means "with you" in Italian.
