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. The name "Pyzar" is derived from the Mongolian-era Silk Road traffic permit, "Paizah".

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).

Mid-life facelift

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.
