Sambar Van 550

KR/KT · 1987–1990RWD

The Sambar Van 550 of 1987 to 1990 is the commercial van that Subaru split off from the Sambar Try in September 1987. It is the rear-wheel-drive Japanese version with a two-cylinder EK23 of 544 cc making 28 PS and a manual gearbox. The separation gave the working van its own line, apart from the passenger-oriented Try.

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.
