Overview
The fourth generation was introduced in January 1993, again with hatchback and (later) sedan bodies. The design was more conservative than that of the third generation model. Being somewhat larger than the predecessor, in spite of a marginally longer wheelbase, it was still very compact. Although the 1.0-litre engines were no longer offered in most markets, the 1.0L remained available in the G202 Charade for Australia and also Brazil, where a lower tax rate for vehicles equipped with engines displacing less than 1.0 litres was in effect at the time. The G202 came equipped with the CB24 1.0-litre engine. The heads and emission hose layout differ from those of the earlier CB23. The SOHC 1.
