The Daihatsu Charade, produced between 1977 and 2000, was a popular and successful city car manufactured by the Japanese automaker Daihatsu. The 1983-1993 model years marked the third generation of the Charade, a significant period in the car's history. This generation, codenamed "G10," brought about a complete redesign, moving from a boxy shape to a more modern, aerodynamic design. The G10 Charade saw the introduction of a groundbreaking engine technology: the "Charade G" engine, a 1.0 L inline-three cylinder engine featuring a unique "CVT-i" continuously variable transmission. This engine became synonymous with the Charade and played a crucial role in establishing the car's reputation for fuel efficiency and peppy performance.

The 1983-1993 Charade G10 offered various body styles, including a three-door hatchback, a five-door hatchback, and even a three-door station wagon. The car's compact size and fuel-efficient engine made it an ideal choice for urban driving. It was also praised for its relatively spacious interior and its remarkably low running costs. Notably, the G10 Charade was the first Daihatsu model to be sold in the United States, where it was marketed as the "Daihatsu Charade Sport," further solidifying its popularity and establishing a global presence. The G10 Charade remains a significant milestone in Daihatsu's history, showcasing the company's commitment to innovation and sustainable mobility. Its success laid the foundation for future generations of the Charade and cemented its legacy as a reliable and efficient city car.
