The Daihatsu Charade G10, produced from 1977 to 1983, marked a significant milestone in the history of the Japanese automaker. This compact city car, classified as a kei car in its home market, was a revolutionary departure from its predecessor. The G10 introduced a front-wheel-drive layout, a trait that would become synonymous with Daihatsu and its later models. It was powered by a range of small-capacity, fuel-efficient engines, including the iconic 847cc three-cylinder unit that powered the early "Charade 1000" models. While relatively small in size, the Charade G10 offered surprisingly spacious interiors, making it a practical and popular choice for commuters and families in Japan and abroad. The car's innovative design and engineering were praised for their efficiency and reliability, solidifying Daihatsu's reputation for developing compact, functional vehicles.

The G10's success paved the way for the Charade's future generations, with the model evolving through various iterations over the years. Despite its compact size, the G10 proved to be a versatile platform, with various body styles introduced over its lifespan, including a two-door sedan, a three-door hatchback, and a four-door wagon. The G10's design also influenced subsequent Daihatsu models, establishing a distinctive design language that would become characteristic of the brand. While overshadowed by the larger and more powerful models produced by its larger Japanese rivals, the Charade G10 played a pivotal role in establishing Daihatsu's presence on the global automotive stage, showcasing its commitment to developing affordable and practical vehicles.
