1997 Subaru Sambar EFI Super Charged 4WD: the background

The KS4 designation places this 1997 Sambar EFI Super Charged 4WD in the fifth-generation Sambar, built between 1990 and 1999. Subaru built the Sambar in-house from 1961 until the last one left the line on 29 February 2012, after which the badge moved onto a rebadged Daihatsu. A 1997 vehicle comes from the in-house era. The KS4 designation follows Subaru's own convention: the letters give the body and the number gives the drive.

Powertrain on this Sambar EFI Super Charged 4WD

This Sambar EFI Super Charged 4WD carries the EN07Y: a fuel-injected 660cc 4-cylinder engine. Subaru was the last maker to keep a four-cylinder in the kei class, and the EN07 is that engine — four small cylinders instead of three larger ones, which is why a Sambar is so much less busy than a three-cylinder rival. This Sambar EFI Super Charged 4WD is fitted with a manual gearbox. On the specification it carries an extra-low crawler gear.
