The 1990 Daihatsu Charade is a compact hatchback that embodies the Japanese automaker's commitment to practicality and fuel efficiency. This generation, known internally as the G10, marked a significant departure from its predecessors, featuring a more rounded and aerodynamic design. It was powered by a range of fuel-efficient engines, including a 1.0-liter three-cylinder and a 1.3-liter four-cylinder, paired with either a four-speed automatic or a five-speed manual transmission. The Charade was renowned for its nimble handling, spacious interior, and impressive fuel economy, making it a popular choice for urban dwellers and families seeking a reliable and affordable car. It also boasted a range of features that were uncommon in its segment, such as a rear wiper, power steering, and optional air conditioning.

Despite its modest size, the 1990 Charade was a versatile vehicle that could comfortably accommodate four passengers and their belongings. The interior was functional and well-appointed, with comfortable seating and a dashboard that was designed with driver ergonomics in mind. However, its small engine and lightweight construction could translate into a somewhat underpowered experience, especially on uphill climbs or when fully loaded. Nevertheless, the Charade's strengths lay in its fuel efficiency, reliability, and ease of maintenance. The vehicle's popularity was further enhanced by its relatively low purchase price and inexpensive running costs, making it a compelling choice for budget-conscious drivers. While the 1990 Charade may not have been the most powerful or luxurious car on the market, it provided a practical and economical means of transportation for a wide range of consumers.
