Performance and Safety
Dependability is built in
Regardless of whether you're transporting family members or cargo loads, you want performance, safety and reliability you can depend on. The L300's rigid body frame ensures both safety and durability. A choice of four economical engines, matched to a floor-shifting 5-speed manual transmission, delivers efficient performance. Handling is smooth and stable, compliments of independant front, and leaf-spring rear suspensions. And strong, reliable braking systems ensure safe stopping, even with capacity loads. Count on the L300 to get the job done.
The 2.0-litre and 1.6-litre 16-valve SOHC carburettor engines feature 4 valves per cylinder for ample power, plus smooth and quiet performance.

The monocoque body and integral Y-shaped frame ensure structural strength and rigidity.
The front suspension system of independant wishbones with torsion bars ensures stable handling and cornering, while the ventilated-disc front brakes provide strong and secure stopping power.
The semi-elliptic leaf-spring rear suspension helps smooth the ride, while leading and trailing drum rear brakes deliver plenty of stopping power, even with a full load of passengers or cargo.
