What is the Mitsubishi Van?

The Mitsubishi Van was the cargo version of a compact van sold in the United States from 1987 to 1990. It shared its basic shape with the passenger carrying Wagon, offering enclosed space for everyday loads in a more compact form than a full size van.

The Van’s upright body and practical cabin suited its work focused role. Mitsubishi’s range included commercial vehicles as well as passenger cars, and this model brought that useful, boxy format to US buyers.
