Minicab Van is a small utility vehicle. Minicab has a long history - a car with that name appeared in the Mitsubishi line in 1966. The sixth generation left the assembly line at the beginning of 1999, and later a new comfortable passenger model Mitsubishi Town Box was created on its basis. In accordance with the changed standards for light class cars, Minicab received a semi-hood layout, although the central location of the engine relative to the wheelbase is used here. It was equipped with a Minicab Van atmospheric 48-horsepower three-cylinder unit.
 Being a commercial model, the Mitsubishi Minicab Van 1999-2000 has a rather Spartan interior with a predominance of painted metal inside, a primitive roof lining, cheap and practical trimmings from easily washable material on the floor and doors, and seats with dermatine upholstery, while the rear is hard folding shop. There are three trim levels: initial CS, mid-level CD and upper CL. The cheapest could offer a two- or four-seater version of the van, a high or standard roof. The maximum configuration relied on a high roof, power windows and central locking, air conditioning and power steering.

 For all modifications of the Mitsubishi Minicab Van (1999-2000), a modernized predecessor motor was installed - a 3-cylinder 12-valve aspirated SOHC design, which bears the brand 3G83. Its maximum power rose from 38-42 to 48 horsepower (at 6000 rpm), and torque reaches a value of 62 Nm (at 4000 rpm) instead of the previous 52-56 Nm. There are four-wheel drive and rear-wheel drive versions. The Minicab Van engine works in conjunction with a 5-speed manual or 3- or 4-speed automatic transmission.

 Mitsubishi Minicab Van has a simple “hodovka”: front independent suspension, rear dependent, both spring, guaranteeing a completely comfortable ride. Brakes - disc front and drum rear. The distance between the axles is 2390 mm, and due to the small wheels with tires 145R12-6PR, the turning radius is only 4.3 meters. The external dimensions are the same as those of the Town Box model - length 3395 mm, width 1475 mm, height 1890 mm or 1785 mm with a standard roof. Despite the compactness of the body, the Minicab Van is very spacious and easy to operate, thanks to the ability to change the position of the back bench. Folding it, you can get a trunk length of 1.7 meters with a completely flat floor. The carrying capacity of the van, depending on the modification (2-4 people) is 350 or 250 kg.

 Despite its utility, the Mitsubishi Minicab Van is considered quite safe. In the event of a collision, the front of the body has increased safety indicators due to the fact that the car is a one-compartment with a semi-hood layout. A driver airbag was included as standard, and for a surcharge, a passenger airbag and anti-lock braking system could be installed.

 A typical representative of the commercial class, Mitsubishi Minicab Van is simple and affordable. Its advantages can also be called practicality and spaciousness, high maneuverability. There are also disadvantages: a weak atmospheric engine, the car is light and unstable on the highway, has a stiffer suspension than the passenger Town Box, small wheels.
The Mitsubishi Minicab Truck is a light truck, essentially a key car, dating back to 1966, from the Minicab LT30. The sixth generation appeared in 1999. In accordance with the new standards for light-duty vehicles, the Minicab cab has a semi-hood layout, although it still uses the central location of the engine relative to the wheelbase. It was equipped with an atmospheric 48-horsepower three-cylinder unit.  Mitsubishi Minicab Truck is distinguished by its Spartan-looking cab: hard seats with upholstery made of inexpensive material, bare painted metal, dermatin-trimmed doors with meat grinders for power windows. At the same time, the front panel looks very functional, trays for small items are located in its upper part, roomy compartments are provided, the “tidy”, although devoid of a tachometer, is quite informative. Buyers of simple configurations had to be content with a minimum of equipment, and air conditioning and power steering, a radio or a radio tape recorder were ordered or expensive.

 For all modifications of the Mitsubishi Minicab Truck (1999-2000), a 3-cylinder 12-valve aspirated design SOHC, which bears the brand 3G83, was installed. Its maximum power is 48 horsepower (at 6000 rpm), and the torque reaches a value of 62 Nm (at 4000 rpm). There are four-wheel drive and rear-wheel drive versions. The Minicab Truck engine works in conjunction with a 5-speed manual or 3- or 4-speed automatic transmission.

 The front suspension of the Mitsubishi Minicab Truck is independent, such as the MacPherson, while the rear suspension is spring-loaded, perfectly adapted for cargo needs - the maximum load capacity is 350 kg. Minicab Truck brakes have disc brakes at the front and drum brakes at the rear. The distance between the axles of the truck is less than that of the Minicab Van model - 2200 mm versus 2390 mm. Together with small wheels with tires 145R12-6PR this gives a minimum turning radius of only 4 meters. Ground clearance 150 mm. External dimensions almost coincide with the van - length 3395 mm, width 1475 mm, height 1775-1940 mm. On the basis of this light truck, not only airborne, but also various special modifications were produced, including dump trucks, refrigerators, etc. d.

 Despite its utility and pure cargo destination, the Mitsubishi Minicab Truck is considered quite safe. In the event of a collision, the front of the body has improved safety performance due to the increased front overhang and the semi-hood layout of the cab. For a surcharge, the truck could be equipped with airbags for the driver and passenger, as well as an anti-lock braking system. The disadvantages of the model include a weak atmospheric engine, small wheels and a stiffer suspension. However, the truck copes with its tasks perfectly. Like its fellow van, the Mitsubishi Minicab Truck is simple and affordable. Its advantages are also practicality and sufficient carrying capacity, high maneuverability.
