The original Berline was launched in 1966 as a compact luxury car meant at competing with other European cars, like BMW, Citroen and others. This car was given a 2 liter, I-4 cylinder engine. Though it only gave 118hp, in 1969 a larger 2.2 liter engine was added as an option to give 125 horsepower.

While smaller than its competitors, the Berline was well equipped and was the first Brunanter car to offer power steering, electric windows as options. It was the most luxurious domestic car available and was priced at a hefty 15500 thalers (about $6000 USD) in 1967. Optional extras could bring it up to 16,800.
