Ozongena esikhundleni sikaDaihatsu Copen ulungiselela ukuqala
I-Daihatsu Copen ibilokhu ilwela ukuba muhle kakhulu, hhayi ngokushesha okukhulu. Futhi le fomula izoqhubeka njengoba i-Daihatsu yembula imiqondo emihlanu ebizwa ngokuthi i-Kopen (nohlavu K) njengabalandela enye yezimoto zezemidlalo ezincane kunazo zonke e-Japan. Wonke ama-concepts amahlanu azokwethulwa embukisweni wezimoto iTokyo Motor Show ekupheleni kwale nyanga, nohlobo oluzodala umsindo ohlobene nokukhiqizwa kochungechunge.
Ukufana kwemibono ye-Kopen nomqondo we-DX ka-2011 kuphinde kuphakamise ukuthi ukuthuthukiswa kwe-Copen sekusezingeni eliphezulu, futhi kufanele kuqedwe ukwakheka kwendawo. I-Copen iyimodeli ye-halo ye-Daihatsu, esebenza kakhulu ezimotweni ezincane, ngakho-ke kubalulekile ukuthi umkhiqizo wakhe umklamo odonsa amehlo.
I-Copen iphinde yaba enye ye-Daihatsu yokugcina eyadayiswa e-Australia ngaphambi kokuba umenzi wezimoto omdala wase-Japan asuswe emakethe yethu ngo-2007 yinkampani engumzali i-Toyota. Iqhubekile nokudayiswa phesheya kwezilwandle kwaze kwamiswa ukukhiqiza ngasekuqaleni kwalo nyaka, okwenza ukushintshwa kwemodeli kungagwemeki. Ngesikhathi yethulwa iCopen ngo-2003, yahlanganisa injini engu-0.66 litre turbocharged four-cylinder ibe nomzimba ongasindi endaweni encane.
Amandla ayo angu-50kW ne-100Nm abenele ukwenza imoto encane eyi-sports kodwa abenele ukuphula amarekhodi. Uphahla olugoqwayo lwe-aluminium, indawo ephansi ye-gravity kanye nomzimba ogobile kwenze le moto eshibhile yaduma ezimakethe eziningi emhlabeni, ikakhulukazi imakethe yakhona yasekhaya eJapan. Imiqondo ye-Kopen inamathela kule fomula, nakuba izimoto zomqondo zithembele ku-CVT automatic transmission (edume kakhulu e-Japan) esikhundleni sokulungiselelwa okwenziwa ngesandla okwakutholakala e-Australia.
Kodwa injini ye-turbo encane, uphahla lwensimbi olugoqekayo, nokuzwakala kwemoto yokudlala kwahlala. Umqondo wezemidlalo we-roadster uzofana ne IHonda S660 yethulwe embukisweni eTokyo. - enye i-roadster yosayizi ofanayo. Yize mancane amathuba okuthi sizobona e-Australia, mancane amathuba okuthi uToyota ucabange ukuvusa iCopen entsha emakethe yethu.
