Sambar Special EFI All Wheel Drive: engine and drivetrain

This Sambar Special EFI All Wheel Drive carries the EN07Y: a fuel-injected 660cc 4-cylinder engine. The EN07 is a genuine four-cylinder in a kei-sized package. Subaru kept building it long after almost everyone else had settled on three cylinders, and it is the single biggest reason Sambars have their own following. This Sambar Special EFI All Wheel Drive is fitted with an automatic gearbox.

Background: the Sambar Special EFI All Wheel Drive

The Sambar is the odd one out in the class and deliberately so: Subaru put the engine right at the back, behind the rear axle, and drove the rear wheels from there. Every Subaru-built Sambar is a full cab-over, which is precisely how Subaru got a longer cargo bed than its rivals onto the same overall length. The KS4 designation places this 1998 Sambar Special EFI All Wheel Drive in the fifth-generation Sambar, built between 1990 and 1999.
