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.

DBA-CV4W

Listed 2010–2012. The DBA prefix (our explanation, not MLIT’s) means petrol passenger car certified to Japan’s 2005 emissions rules, 75% below their limits. Check DBA-CV4W 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 CV4W before you buy

Make sure the car is what the advert says: the chassis number on the V5C should start CV4W-, 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 CV4W have?

MLIT lists the Mitsubishi Delica CV4W with 4B11 1,998 cc petrol.

What fuel economy does the CV4W get?

Officially between 11.2 and 13.2 km/L (about 32–37 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 CV4W?

Between 1,680 and 1,770 kg kerb weight, depending on the version.

Is DBA-CV4W the same as CV4W?

Yes. DBA-CV4W is the full model type: the letters before the hyphen are Japan’s emissions code, which changed as the rules were tightened, and CV4W is the model code. The chassis number starts with CV4W-.

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.
