The Daihatsu Charade, marketed as the Centro in Europe and the Cuore Mira in Japan, is a subcompact car produced by the Japanese manufacturer Daihatsu from 1977 to 2000. The 1994-1998 model you're referring to represents the fourth generation of the Charade, a significant one for its design and technological advancements. This generation featured a distinctive boxy shape, characterized by sharp lines and a more aerodynamic profile compared to its predecessors. It was also offered in a wide variety of body styles, including a three-door hatchback, a five-door hatchback, and a four-door sedan. The 1994-1998 Charade's engine lineup included a range of fuel-efficient and small-displacement petrol engines, including 1.0L and 1.3L units. Notably, this generation saw the introduction of the innovative "CVT-i" continuously variable transmission, which contributed to improved fuel economy and smoother driving experience. While known for its practicality and affordability, the 1994-1998 Charade also boasted a surprising level of comfort and features. It offered features like power steering, air conditioning, and electric windows, which were uncommon in cars of its class at the time. Furthermore, this generation saw the introduction of the "Charade G200" model, a sporty variant with a more powerful engine, updated styling, and a sportier suspension. Despite its compact size, the 1994-1998 Charade was praised for its spacious interior and decent cargo capacity, making it a popular choice for small families and city dwellers. Additionally, the Japanese market saw the introduction of the "Mira" moniker, further solidifying the Charade's reputation as a reliable and practical vehicle.
