From AutocadeDaihatsu Charade (G10/G20). 1977–83 (prod. 89,792). 3- and 5-door sedan. F/F, 843, 993 cm³ (3 cyl. OHC). Daihatsu rethought the small car with the Charade, designed to be fuel-efficient. Well packaged for the era. A surprise hit for the company, thanks to the fuel crisis at the time. Three-cylinder engine surprisingly refined thanks to balancer shaft driven in parallel with the crankshaft. Very manœuvrable and compact, marketed with the fact it occupied 5 m² on the road. Car of the Year in Japan for 1977–8. Runabout three-door, with unusual opera windows, introduced September 1978. Mid-term facelift in 1980 with square headlights. Charade de Tomaso shown at Tokyo Show in 1981, featuring a tuned engine developing 75 PS.
