1987 Subaru Sambar

On 9 January 1987 the commercial one box versions were renamed Sambar Van, while the high roofed passenger version retained the Sambar Try name. Front disc brakes were added to the options list. Full time 4WD was available towards the end of this generation's product cycle. Later generations used the water cooled engine from the Subaru Rex, Vivio and the Pleo. The Sambar has used a rear engine, rear wheel drive layout with body on frame rather than unibody construction.
