Produced for over two decades, the Daihatsu Charade has undergone a great number of minor revisions and upgrades on its classic parts and accessories throughout its production. Take its powertrain and engine parts for example. When it was first launched in 1977, the vehicle was powered by a 993 cc three-cylinder, all-aluminum engine (CB20) with 50 PS. After further research and development, the 926R, a prototype of a mid-engine Charade, was introduced in late 1985. The mid-engine layout can help reduce both aerodynamic drag and vehicle weight. Thus, it can greatly improve fuel efficiency. More and more equipment and parts became available as time went by.
