The DAF 44 is a small family car that was introduced in September 1966^[2] by the Dutch company DAF. Styled by Michelotti, it represented a cautious move upmarket for the company which hitherto had produced, for the passenger car market, only the smaller slower Daffodil model (subsequently rebadged as the DAF 33 to align with the form of nomenclature introduced with the 44).

The DAF 44, in common with other DAF cars, featured an innovative continuously variable transmission system, the DAF Variomatic.
