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.
KH-ATWE50
Listed 2004. The KH prefix (our explanation, not MLIT’s) means a diesel certified to Japan’s 1990s to early-2000s rules, before the 2005 diesel limits. Check KH-ATWE50 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 an ATWE50 before you buy
Make sure the car is what the advert says: the chassis number on the V5C should start ATWE50-, 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 Nissan Elgrand ATWE50 with ZD30 2,953 cc diesel.

Between 2,120 and 2,240 kg kerb weight, depending on the version.
Is KH-ATWE50 the same as ATWE50?
Yes. KH-ATWE50 is the full model type: the letters before the hyphen are Japan’s emissions code, which changed as the rules were tightened, and ATWE50 is the model code. The chassis number starts with ATWE50-.
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 Nissan model codes.
