History

The Subaru Dias was introduced in 1999 as a compact minibus aimed at the Japanese market. It is derived from the Subaru Sambar, a well-established model in the kei car category. The Dias was designed to provide a more spacious and versatile alternative while adhering to the size regulations of kei cars. Available in both 2WD and 4WD versions, it was equipped with a 658 cm³ gasoline engine, compliant with category standards. The 3-speed automatic transmission was chosen for its simplicity and reliability. The exterior dimensions of 3,395 mm in length, 1,475 mm in width, and 1,905 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 1,885 mm, allowed for a comfortable interior space while maintaining maneuverability suitable for urban environments.
