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 CR52V before you buy

Make sure the car is what the advert says: the chassis number on the V5C should start CR52-, 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 CR52V have?

MLIT lists the Toyota LiteAce Van / TownAce Van CR52V with 3C 2,184 cc diesel.

What fuel economy does the CR52V get?

Officially between 10.8 and 12.6 km/L (about 31–36 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 CR52V?

Between 1,410 and 1,480 kg kerb weight, depending on the version.

Is KF-CR52V the same as CR52V?

Yes. KF-CR52V is the full model type: the letters before the hyphen are Japan’s emissions code, which changed as the rules were tightened, and CR52V is the model code. The chassis number starts with CR52-.

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 Toyota model codes.
