Background on the KV3 Sambar Van

KV3 is the rear-drive van from Subaru's 1990s Sambar range, sold plain as the Sambar Van and in trimmed form as the Dias. The rear-mounted 658cc EN07 four sits under the load floor at the very back, which leaves a long, flat, square cargo bay ahead of it and gives the van a distinctly rear-biased feel on the road.

It shows 58,900 miles on a gauge originally calibrated in kilometres, which puts it near 94,800 km. That sits in the middle of the band Sambars of this generation generally arrive at.

Reading the specification

A rear-drive Sambar van carries its engine behind the rear axle, so the load bay sits entirely ahead of it: a long, square, flat-floored box with the drivetrain out of the way at the back. The rear weight bias that makes the truck notable makes the van quieter and more settled at the back than most of its rivals.

The $5,000 to $8,000 band is the heart of the imported van market. For a working vehicle that has to keep tools dry and out of sight, it is the point where supply and specification meet.
