What the Daihatsu Charade sticker says about fuel

Fuel economy is a legally required block on every Monroney label — city, highway and combined figures plus the estimated annual fuel bill. These are the EPA numbers on file for the Charade, latest tested year 1992:

The label also prints an estimated $1,900 a year in fuel at 15,000 miles, and 283 g/mi of CO₂. EPA files the Charade under Subcompact Cars, which is the class it gets compared against on the sticker.

How the Charade's sticker figure changed

Combined MPG printed on the label, model year by model year — 1988 to 1992. Worth checking before you compare a Charade sticker from one year with another:

The figure has stayed broadly flat across the span. EPA revised its testing method in 2008, which shifts figures printed before and after that year.

What's on the Daihatsu Charade sticker

Every Monroney label carries the same required blocks: MSRP with itemised options, EPA fuel economy — for this car 33 mpg combined, NHTSA safety ratings, standard and optional equipment, and parts-content origin. Every Charade VIN returns its own build rather than a generic spec.

For how to read each block, what to do if the sticker is lost, and how it differs from a build sheet, see the window sticker guide.

Where to find the VIN on a Daihatsu Charade

  1. WindshieldLower-left corner, driver's side, readable from outside without opening anything.
  2. Door jambOn the driver's door frame of every Charade, next to the tyre-pressure and build-date plate.
  3. DocumentsRegistration, title and insurance card — on a Daihatsu Charade all three must show the same number.

All four must match. A Daihatsu Charade whose windshield plate disagrees with the door jamb has either had a panel replaced or a tampered identity — check the paperwork before any money changes hands.

The EPA figures on file are 33 mpg combined (31 city / 37 highway), from its 1992 rating, with an estimated $1,900 a year in fuel printed alongside.

Is the recreated Daihatsu Charade sticker the same as the original?

It rebuilds the factory equipment, EPA fuel economy and NHTSA safety from official records, so the core Monroney content matches. Dealer-added options and destination charges vary by sale, so the printed total on one Daihatsu Charade may differ from another.

Where do I find the VIN on a Daihatsu Charade?

Lower-left of the windshield, the driver's door-jamb sticker, or the registration and insurance documents — all three must agree. For what a window sticker is, how to read each block and what to do if yours is lost, see the window sticker guide.
