The Daihatsu Charade CB-23 is a compact hatchback that was produced by the Japanese automaker Daihatsu from 1987 to 1993. It was the third generation of the Charade model line, known for its innovative design and efficient performance. The CB-23 saw the introduction of Daihatsu's revolutionary "Charade G" engine, a 1.0-liter three-cylinder unit that featured a unique design with two overhead camshafts and four valves per cylinder. This engine, coupled with a lightweight body, resulted in surprisingly peppy acceleration and fuel efficiency that was ahead of its time. The CB-23 was available in various trim levels, offering features such as power steering, air conditioning, and even a five-speed manual transmission for a sportier driving experience.

The Daihatsu Charade CB-23 was a popular choice in many markets, particularly in Europe and Asia, where its compact size and fuel efficiency made it ideal for urban driving. It was renowned for its reliability and durability, making it a popular choice for both private and fleet buyers. While the CB-23 may not be as widely recognized as some of its larger Japanese rivals, it holds a significant place in automotive history as a pioneering example of downsized engine design and efficient driving. The "Charade G" engine technology paved the way for future generations of small and fuel-efficient cars, establishing Daihatsu as a leader in engine engineering and demonstrating that performance and efficiency could go hand-in-hand even in a compact hatchback.
