Evidence boundary

The identity is documented. The chronology is still open.

This dossier is supported by cited published profiles, not a verified generation timeline. No generation numbers, production periods, family relationships or chassis-to-generation assignments are inferred. The photograph, when available, identifies the exact linked vehicle only.

The ownership model hub keeps the practical model overview; exact technical information and owner resources remain on the linked chassis profiles.

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This selection is taken from published, cited vehicle records—not pending research, unpublished candidate facts or an inferred model-wide specification table.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.
