write a Review about the Daihatsu
Charade
Daihatsu’s revised Charade city car is now
on sale, offering improved handling and greater comfort. Based on
the previous 1.0 litre EL model, the range comprises a three or
five-door manual or automatic starting at £6,495 on-the-road.
Standard equipment now includes
air-conditioning, the interior trim is new and the front seats have been
lengthened by 30 mm for improved support.
Also new is the front grille and bumper,
while the suspension has been thoroughly revised with a front anti-roll
bar and retuned dampers to reduce body roll and sharpen handling.
To further improve the Charade’s strong
braking performance, the front discs are now ventilated. As
before, the anti-lock brakes (ABS) incorporate electronic brakeforce
distribution (EBD) which optimises braking force according to the weight
distribution of passengers and luggage.
The Charade remains the UK’s most
economical petrol-engined five-door with a CO2 reading of 114
g/km. This qualifies it for a £40 Road Fund Licence for 12 months.
Fuel economy is also exceptional at 68.9 mpg Extra Urban for the manual
which also boasts a top speed of almost 100 mph.
Like all current Daihatsus, the Charade
offers customers the reassurance of a three year unlimited mileage
warranty and roadside assistance plus a six year anti-perforation
warranty.
