5 years after the initial release of the original Chapeau, ADM introduced a more needed facelift, this time with a more “exciting” and fitting design. Still it was a shared collaboration between ADM of Europe, ADM and Sanda, which allowed them to introduce their own versions on their markets.
Summary
Although it looked very similar to the previous model, there were more changes that meet the eye with the new facelifted model. For starters, the Prime trimmed was dropped, and only the base and convertible trims were available. Both versions came with a new face, as well as a redesigned rear door.
Mechanically, both models diteched the L4 B series engine from Sanda, in favor of a new in house designed L3, called Sevilla. In the Chapeau it was a DOHC 1.2L engine with SPFI. pushing 70hp.
