High deck body is popular

There are two types of SK82VN, high deck and low deck, but SK82VN is popular for its high deck body type.

The low-deck body type has the advantage of being able to load and unload luggage smoothly due to the low deck, but has the disadvantage of being inferior in absorbing vibrations and shocks during driving due to the small tires.

On the other hand, in the case of a high-deck body type, using large tires has the advantage of highly absorbing vibration and shock during driving, and reducing the burden on the load and driver.

Also, as same as the 4th generation Bongo van, you have a choice between single tire or double tire. The good point of having a double tire is that it disperse the weight of the load, ensuring the safety, driving performance and easier to load and unload your luggage. The Bad point is compared to single tires, double tires have a larger contact area with the ground, which the vibration during driving will directly transmit to your self.

GL / DX is popular as vanette's grade

Among the grades of "CD", "VX", "DX" and "GL", the most popular ones are "DX" and "GL".
The difference between DX and GL is whether the seat is vinyl leather or fabric leather in the interior.
The difference is that the floor mat is vinyl or cloth, and the shape of the rear seat is GL so that it can be reclined. On the exterior, the bumper becomes a colored bumper of the same color as the car body and a sand molding is attached.
