Color Formation type A

Daihatsu Motor Co., Ltd. (“Daihatsu”) will partially upgrade and release the COPEN, a mini convertible sports vehicle, nationwide on Monday, April 4.

The new COPEN was realized by utilizing the new D-FRAME framework structure and DRESS-FORMATION, which is a changeable interior and exterior structure, to deliver impressive driving performance and serve to help express one’s individuality. The first design, the COPEN Robe, was released in June 2014 followed by the second and third designs, the COPEN XPLAY and the COPEN Cero. In a move that is proving positive with customers across the board, DRESS parts were launched in last October, offering customers an option to adapt the design of their car to their tastes even after purchase.

As a new design offer with DRESS-FORMATION, the upgrade equips Color Formation Type A, a manufacturer’s option*1 characterized by color-coded resin outer panel parts for a unique appearance, in the Robe and the Robe S. Furthermore, increased design choices for the 16-inch aluminum wheels and interior colors add more to the fun of choosing, and enable drivers to better express themselves through the car.

As standard, the upgraded version is equipped with multi-reflector halogen fog lamps, a steering switch and instrument panel audio cluster, and features improvements in marketability and texture by standardizing the basic colors of the interior instrument panel and trim to black.
