FactThis Copen has 13 resin body panels, 11 of them swappable, so owners can change the car's face entirely.
Announced on 19 June 2014 after the 2013 Tokyo Motor Show "Kopen" concepts, the second-generation Copen is a kei roadster on a new D-Frame monocoque with 13 resin body panels, 11 of them interchangeable, so owners can change its look. It uses a 660 cc turbocharged three-cylinder with DVVT, a 5-speed manual or CVT, and is front-wheel drive. Grades started with the Robe (June 2014; sportier Robe S from December 2014) and the XPLAY; the round-headlight Cero came on 18 June 2015 with the Dress Formation option to swap the exterior parts, a 200-unit Copen Coupe followed in April 2019, and the Copen GR Sport went on sale on 15 October 2019 through Daihatsu and Toyota dealers. The Robe was exported to Indonesia from June 2015. Daihatsu says about 57,000 were built before the last car, a Jaune Yellow Robe, left the Ikeda factory on 26 August 2026.

Owning one
We don’t estimate running costs for a car like this. What it costs depends on its condition, its specialist and how it is driven, and an average would mislead.

Photographs
Sold through both Daihatsu and Toyota dealers, it wears neither maker's logo: front and rear carry a neutral oval 'C' Copen badge instead.

Skip the motorized folding hardtop and the Copen dropped about 30 kg — Daihatsu briefly sold a detachable hard-top version just for buyers chasing that extra lightness.
Rivals

In 1974 Alfa built a one-off on this Spider: a Porsche-style solid rear window and lift-out roof panels, fewer than 2,000 made, the only Spider ever with a part-solid roof.
Over 100,000 people voted to name this car "Duetto" — but a chocolate-snack maker had already trademarked the word, and a Milan court ruling forced Alfa to sell it as the Spider 1600 instead.
After nearly 25 years of manual-only Spiders, the final Series 4 cars quietly added something Alfa purists never expected: an optional automatic transmission.
The mid-80s Spider's Quadrifoglio Verde trim went all-in on a single look: blood-red carpets and grey leather with red stitching, and it only ever came in three exterior colors.
This Spider was built not by Alfa but by Pininfarina itself, on a platform shared with General Motors.
The 916 Spider's strongest naturally aspirated engine, the 192 PS 3.0 12V Busso V6, was never offered in its GTV coupe twin.
The Frogeye had no boot lid at all — owners reached the spare wheel by tilting the seats forward into the dark cavity behind, a ritual they likened to potholing.
The Fairlady 2000's SR311 update came with a five-speed manual gearbox in 1967 — a genuinely unusual spec for any production car of that era.
