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-RW11

Listed 2004–2006. The TA prefix (our explanation, not MLIT’s) means certified to Japan’s 2000 emissions rules, 25% below their limits. Check TA-RW11 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 RW11 before you buy

Make sure the car is what the advert says: the chassis number on the V5C should start RW11-, 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.

Questions

What engine does the RW11 have?

MLIT lists the Nissan Avenir RW11 with QR20 1,998 cc petrol.

What fuel economy does the RW11 get?

Officially 13 km/L (about 37 mpg), on Japan’s own tests. Real-world figures are usually lower, especially against the older 10-15 mode test.

How heavy is the RW11?

Between 1,340 and 1,370 kg kerb weight, depending on the version.

Is TA-RW11 the same as RW11?

Yes. TA-RW11 is the full model type: the letters before the hyphen are Japan’s emissions code, which changed as the rules were tightened, and RW11 is the model code. The chassis number starts with RW11-.

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.
