3DA-CV1W
Listed 2020–2026. The 3DA prefix (our explanation, not MLIT’s) means diesel passenger car certified to Japan’s 2018 emissions rules. Check 3DA-CV1W against ULEZ and clean air zones.

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.

Check a CV1W before you buy
Make sure the car is what the advert says: the chassis number on the V5C should start CV1W-, 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.

What engine does the CV1W have?
MLIT lists the Mitsubishi Delica CV1W with 4N14 2,267 cc diesel.
What fuel economy does the CV1W get?
Officially between 12.6 and 13.6 km/L (about 36–38 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 CV1W?
Between 1,880 and 1,980 kg kerb weight, depending on the version.
Is 3DA-CV1W the same as CV1W?
Yes. 3DA-CV1W is the full model type: the letters before the hyphen are Japan’s emissions code, which changed as the rules were tightened, and CV1W is the model code. The chassis number starts with CV1W-.
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.
