Fuel economy is from Japan’s official tests and is usually better than you’ll see on UK roads. MLIT doesn’t list power or torque.
TA-CR5W
Listed 2005. The TA prefix (our explanation, not MLIT’s) means certified to Japan’s 2000 emissions rules, 25% below their limits. Check TA-CR5W against ULEZ and clean air zones.
| Engine | Gearbox | Drive | Weight | Seats | Fuel economy | Listed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 4G931,834 cc petrol | 4-speed automatic | four-wheel drive | 1,470–1,490 kg | — | 12.2 km/L34 mpg, Japanese 10-15 mode test | 2005 |

Each row is one version as MLIT lists it. A version can appear twice when MLIT gave figures on two tests that year. Low-emission stars and trim names aren’t shown. MLIT gives fuel economy in km/L; the mpg figures are our conversion to UK gallons. Japanese tests are gentler than real UK driving, so expect less.
CR5 build year by chassis number
Japan’s carmakers list the chassis numbers each code was built with every year from 2015. Find the serial below, or use the build year finder.
| Built | Chassis numbers |
|---|---|
| 2015 | CR5-1000254 to 1000254CR5-1100001 to 1100010 |
From the JAMA chassis number lists: 車台番号一覧表. We keep only the chassis code, serial ranges and year. JAMA calls them reference information, not a certificate.
Check a CR5W before you buy
Make sure the car is what the advert says: the chassis number on the V5C should start CR5W-, and the engine and gearbox should match one of the versions above. Our free check reads the UK MOT history and compares it with the chassis code.

MLIT lists the Mitsubishi Dion CR5W with 4G93 1,834 cc petrol.
What fuel economy does the CR5W get?
Officially between 12.2 and 12.6 km/L (about 34–36 mpg), depending on the version, on Japan’s own tests. Real-world figures are usually lower, especially against the older 10-15 mode test.
How heavy is the CR5W?
Between 1,400 and 1,490 kg kerb weight, depending on the version.
Is TA-CR5W the same as CR5W?
Yes. TA-CR5W is the full model type: the letters before the hyphen are Japan’s emissions code, which changed as the rules were tightened, and CR5W is the model code. The chassis number starts with CR5W-.
About these figures
The model types, engine codes, capacities, gearboxes, drive, weights, seats and km/L figures are copied from MLIT’s yearly lists of cars on sale in Japan each March, so “listed” years are list years, not exact production dates. The English model names, mpg conversions, emissions code explanations and chassis number matching are ours. Lists before 2013 were printed as PDFs that we read by machine; where an older list gives an engine code that doesn’t match its capacity, we’ve used the figure the same model type has in other years. Check anything that matters against the car’s own papers. Spotted a mistake? Email [email protected]. All Mitsubishi model codes.
