Daihatsu cars: MPG and fuel economy by model

The EPA has rated 17 vehicles from Daihatsu across 3 distinct models since 1988. The list below covers every Daihatsu model with its combined MPG and estimated annual fuel cost, organised by model year so you can see how the lineup has evolved.

Below you will find every Daihatsu model in the EPA dataset, split into a recent table for the last five model years and a longer table for the rest. Click any model and year to see the full breakdown, including city and highway MPG, tailpipe CO₂ emissions, and the engine and drivetrain specification.

Daihatsu fuel economy snapshot

Across every Daihatsu the EPA has ever rated, the most efficient is the 1992 Daihatsu Charade at 34 combined MPG. That figure includes electric vehicles, which use MPGe rather than a true gallon of fuel.

For the 1992 model year, Daihatsu's lineup averages 27 combined MPG across 3 models. The lineup is currently all gasoline-powered.

The bar chart below ranks the most efficient Daihatsu models for the 1992 model year. Use it as a quick way to spot the leader in the lineup, then click through for the full breakdown of city and highway MPG, annual fuel cost, and the engine and drivetrain.
