Sambar Van 360

K153/K163 · 1966–1973RWD

The Sambar Van 360 of the second generation (K153/K163) was the Japanese Subaru kei van from 1966 to 1973. Its rear-mounted two-cylinder, 360 cc engine makes 26 PS and drives the rear wheels through a manual gearbox. The 1970 update added a dummy grille and the reed-valve EK33 engine, so early and late vans differ under the skin as well as at the front.

STORY

The Sambar is Subaru's kei truck and microvan, introduced in 1961 with a rear-engine, rear- or all-wheel-drive layout unusual for its class. Prized for traction and packaging, it was built in-house for decades before becoming a rebadged Daihatsu Hijet in 2012.
