On the KV4 Sambar Van

The KV4 is the four-wheel-drive Sambar van of the 1990s. Subaru's rear engine placement is more noticeable in the van than the truck, because the enclosed body puts the whole cargo area in front of the engine rather than over it. The 658cc EN07 four-cylinder is shared with the KS-series trucks, and Dias versions of this van were offered with a supercharger.

Odometer: 41,010 miles, approximately 66,000 km. Subaru's EN07 is a 658cc inline-four rather than a triple, so it turns over with four smaller reciprocating masses than anything else in the class, and the model's surviving population covers a wide span of readings.

What the specification means

The kei van format is a statutory 3.4-metre footprint with almost all of it turned into enclosed, flat-floored load space. The engine lives under the cab, the floor is flat from the bulkhead back, and the result holds more than its exterior dimensions suggest is possible.

In this band a kei van is carrying specification: four-wheel drive, a turbocharged engine, a high-roof body or a factory conversion. The plain commercial versions do not reach this far.
