Powertrain on this Sambar Van

This Sambar Van carries the EN07: a 660cc 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. The 660cc engine drives through an automatic gearbox.

Background: the Sambar Van

Sambars turn up in more colours than most kei trucks because Subaru sold plenty to private buyers as well as to trades; this one is Silver. 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. 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.
