Daihatsu has introduced the Kopen concept at the 2013 Tokyo Motor Show in Japan.

Several hours ago Honda showed us the S660 concept which serves as a preview for a kei-car destined for Japan in 2015 and now Daihatsu is doing the same thing with the Kopen RMZ concept which announces an all-new Copen set to be launched possibly as early as Q1 2014.

Power of the funky two-seater is provided by a 660cc 3-cylinder gasoline engine coupled to a CVT that packs steering wheel-mounted paddles. Both of them share the same physical dimensions: 3395mm (133.6 inches) length, 1475mm (58 inches) width and 1275mm (51 inches) heigh.

Also at Daihatsu's stand at Tokyo Motor Show is a more rugged-looking version of the Kopen concept called XMZ which features body cladding. Both cars ride on 17-inch alloy wheels wrapped around in 165/50 tires and come with a folding metal roof.

Daihatsu says that this concept features replaceable resin body panels, while in the cabin there’s a touchscreen which handles most of the controls, along with an LCD screen.

The Japanese automaker did not say anything about the possibility of putting this concept into production.
