Assembled in Grugliasco, Italy, for European sales, the version called Bertone Freeclimber used mechanical components by Daihatsu, although it was powered by a BMW M21 2443 cc turbodiesel or one of two BMW M20 petrol engines (1991 cc and 2693 cc), with a Bertone modified body. The first Freeclimber is a well-equipped, high-end deluxe (luxury car) off-roader produced from 1989 to 1992. In France, where only the diesel was available, the importer Chardonnet offered an even more luxurious version.
