FactThis Charade's GT-XX punched well above its weight — in the 1993 Safari Rally it finished 5th, 6th and 7th overall against far bigger cars.
Debuted in January 1987 (production from 1986 in Japan, 1988–2012 in China as the Tianjin Xiali), styled by Hiroshi Aoki and Hideyuki Ueda to a 0.32 drag coefficient, with carbureted or injected 1.0 L SOHC 6-valve three-cylinder engines (naturally aspirated CB23/36/37/90 and turbo CB51/61) and diesels. The turbo three was replaced in February 1988 by a hollow-crankshaft 1.3 L four (HC-E/F), and a permanent-4WD version with the injected 1.3 L (G112, TXF/CXF/Will) went to Scandinavia and Switzerland. The GTti (a 1.0 L twin-cam injected intercooled turbo, three-door only) and GT-XX were mechanically identical apart from luxury items; a February 1989 facelift and the Charade Social sedan (April 1989) followed. In the US it sold only from 1988 to 1992 (43,590 through 1991) before Toyota retired the Daihatsu brand. The GTti took class honours in the 1991 and 1992 Safari Rally and the GT-XX finished 5th, 6th and 7th overall in 1993.

Daihatsu's partnership with De Tomaso on this Charade's GTi produced 120,000 cars — big numbers for a budget hatchback collab.
The third-gen Charade GTti squeezed 105PS from a tiny 1.0-litre turbo — on par with much bigger 1.3-litre hot hatches of the era — and Daihatsu only ever sold it as a three-door.

To prove its new diesel wouldn't quit, Daihatsu sent a Charade on 10 non-stop laps of the entire Japanese archipelago — a run that took 117 days.
Industry watchers thought the one-liter car was finished in Japan's tightening emissions era — then the Charade launched, became an overnight best-seller, and won Japan's Car of the Year for 1979.
