The Subaru Sambar Van is a compact kei-class utility vehicle produced by the Japanese manufacturer Subaru. First introduced in 1961, the Sambar is one of the longest-running nameplates in Japan’s light commercial vehicle segment. Designed to meet kei car regulations, it features compact exterior dimensions and a small-displacement engine.

The Sambar Van typically offers seating for two to four occupants, depending on configuration, along with a flexible cargo area suited for small business deliveries and urban transport. Earlier generations were known for their rear-engine layout and compact footprint, contributing to maneuverability in tight spaces. Later versions have evolved in platform and drivetrain design while maintaining practical utility.

The Subaru Sambar Van is widely used for commercial purposes, including local deliveries and trades, as well as for personal utility. Its efficient design and compact proportions make it well suited for dense urban environments and narrow roads.
