Public source-backed owner data

Selected facts from published vehicles

Compare 12 already published facts across 8 documented vehicle configurations. Each value belongs only to its linked code, market and cited source. Different grades or production periods may have different specifications.

This selection is taken from published, cited vehicle records—not pending research, unpublished candidate facts or an inferred model-wide specification table. Open each record for its complete edition and equipment limitations.

The codes behind the name

Codes listed for this nameplate by MLIT or a manufacturer archive. They are not assigned to a generation: an archive car’s year does not establish which generation a code belongs to.
