Used Nissan Caravan / NV350 for Export from Japan
The Caravan (E26 / NV350) is the only serious JDM challenger to the Hiace — same size class, same duty cycles, consistently 15–25% cheaper at auction. For fleet buyers in Tanzania, Uganda and Myanmar that gap pays for freight. The 2.5L YD25DDTi diesel is a proven unit, and the van/microbus body range mirrors the Hiace almost seat for seat.
Typical FOB range: $6,000–$22,000
Key facts
- RWD; 2.5L diesel (YD25DDTi) or 2.0/2.5L gasoline (QR)
- Best for: cargo fleets, minibus conversion, Hiace-budget arbitrage
- Wide-body Super Long GX is the microbus volume spec
What to check at auction
YD25 injector and turbo history — the same checks as a Hiace diesel. Cargo floor and tie-down wear indicate hard fleet life. Resale in destination markets trails the Hiace slightly, so buy the discount, not the top of the market.
