The Daihatsu Charade, a compact car produced by the Japanese manufacturer Daihatsu from 1977 to 2000, enjoyed a long and successful run, particularly in its third generation, spanning the years 1983 to 1993. This generation, often referred to as the "G10" or "G11" series, marked a significant evolution for the Charade, introducing a revolutionary engine design that would become synonymous with the model: the three-cylinder, 993cc, 12-valve CB engine. This compact, lightweight engine, available in naturally aspirated and turbocharged variants, offered impressive fuel efficiency while delivering surprisingly spirited performance. The Charade's aerodynamically refined body, boasting a streamlined shape for its time, further contributed to its impressive fuel efficiency, solidifying its reputation as a practical and economical city car. The 1983-1993 Daihatsu Charade was available in various body styles, including a three-door hatchback, a five-door hatchback, and even a four-door saloon (known as the "Charade Sedan" in some markets). The car's spacious interior, despite its compact exterior, provided comfortable accommodation for four occupants. Its practical cabin design, featuring a high roofline and generous headroom, ensured a sense of spaciousness and airiness. The Charade also excelled in practicality, particularly with its versatile cargo space, further enhanced by the folding rear seats in the hatchback variants. While the earlier generations of the Charade were primarily marketed in Japan and other Asian markets, the third generation achieved global success, becoming a popular choice for drivers seeking a reliable, fuel-efficient, and affordable car. Today, the 1983-1993 Daihatsu Charade remains a beloved classic, cherished by enthusiasts for its unique charm, impressive performance, and enduring reliability.
