Cheyenne (France) - AllCarIndex

Automobiles Cheyenne was a French automotive manufacturer that operated from 1992 until approximately 1996. The company was based in Sambris, France, and focused on producing utility-recreational vehicles.

The design of the Cheyenne vehicles bore a resemblance to the Willys Jeep, emphasizing a dual-purpose functionality suitable for both utility and recreational use. The vehicles were constructed on a galvanized steel chassis, which provided durability and strength. The bodywork was made from fiberglass, contributing to a lightweight structure, and featured a roll-over cage for added safety. Optional doors were available, allowing for customization based on user preference.

Powering the Cheyenne was a 1.0-liter engine sourced from Peugeot, which was later replaced in 1995 by a 1.2-liter engine from the Renault Twingo. The vehicles were front-wheel drive, aligning with the design's focus on practicality and ease of use. Despite its brief production run, Automobiles Cheyenne aimed to carve a niche in the market for versatile vehicles that could serve both recreational and utility purposes.
