Reading the spec sheet
Its 1.6L 4-cylinder drives through a 5-speed manual. It runs on diesel, sold at most highway stations. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.
The EPA rates it at 7.6 L/100 km combined, so a 300 km weekend uses about 23 litres. Per 100 km, plan on roughly $11.78. The EPA estimates US$3,100 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
Best uses
It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month. It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town.
Space and size
A tall roof and wide doors make it easy to load people and bags.
Try before you buy
Rent the Kubvan first, and buy only if it fits your life. If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class. Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience.
Year and trim
Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires.
What it costs to run
At our price setting, 100 km costs about $11.78 in fuel. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $117.80 at our price setting. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models.
