About the 2000 Subaru Sambar

Subaru gave the Sambar four-wheel independent suspension from the very first 1961 model, at a time when Japanese passenger cars mostly did without it — struts at the front, semi-trailing arms at the rear. Subaru's Sambar was the first ordinary kei truck and cab-van offered with four-wheel drive, from 1980. Putting the engine behind the rear axle loads the driven wheels, and that is a large part of why Sambars have the traction reputation they do.

How this 2000 Sambar EFI Dias Supercharged 4WD is put together

Power comes from the EN07Y, a fuel-injected 660cc 4-cylinder unit. 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. The EN07Y drives through an automatic gearbox.
