The Daihatsu Charade CB23, CB61, and CB80 series were a line of subcompact cars produced by the Japanese manufacturer Daihatsu from 1987 onwards. These models marked a significant departure from their predecessors, embracing a more modern design language and a range of innovative technologies. The CB23 series, introduced in 1987, was the first to feature the revolutionary 3-cylinder, 1.0-liter, naturally aspirated engine. This engine, later refined into the CB61 and CB80 series, was lauded for its fuel efficiency and surprisingly peppy performance. The Charade during this period also saw the introduction of a new hatchback body style, catering to a younger, more dynamic audience. With its compact dimensions, sharp styling, and efficient powertrain, the Charade quickly gained popularity as a reliable and practical city car, particularly in Europe and Asia.

The Charade CB23, CB61, and CB80 series incorporated a number of notable features, including a strut front suspension and a semi-trailing arm rear suspension, which provided a comfortable ride while ensuring responsive handling. The cars were available in various trim levels, offering a range of standard and optional equipment, such as power steering, air conditioning, and alloy wheels. Under the hood, the CB61 and CB80 series saw the introduction of fuel injection technology, further enhancing fuel economy and performance. While the Charade was primarily known for its practicality and affordability, certain models were also offered with sporty modifications, including a performance-tuned engine and a lowered suspension. This emphasized the car's versatility and ability to appeal to a wide range of buyers, from commuters to enthusiasts. The Daihatsu Charade CB23, CB61, and CB80 series remained in production until the mid-1990s, leaving a lasting legacy as a symbol of Daihatsu's commitment to producing reliable, efficient, and stylish subcompact cars.
