FactThe Y11 Wingroad's top "G Extra" trim packed an odd luxury for a humble Japanese wagon: an optional TV screen that folded down from the ceiling for rear passengers.
The third-series AD (Y11) began in May 1999, once again only as a station wagon, mechanically related to the Sunny B15 and sharing its interior, and was sold in Japan, New Zealand (as the Pulsar) and the Caribbean. A driver-side airbag was standard on the AD Van and Wingroad, and the AD Max was no longer offered. The AD Van began with the 1.3 L QG13DE, then the 1.5 L QG15DE, the 1.8 L QG18DE (4WD only, apart from an LPG front-drive van from January 2000) and the 2.2 L YD22DD diesel, dropped after April 2004 as Japan discouraged diesels in cities; payloads were 300 kg for the 1.3 and 400 kg for the others. The Wingroad (1999–2005) slotted between the Bluebird and Primera with the 1.5 QG15DE, 1.8 QG18DE and 2.0 SR20VE — replaced by the QR20DE in March 2001 when production moved from Kyoto to Shonan — with a Wingroad facelift in October 2001 and trim packages roughly every six months; the AD itself was facelifted in August 2002, production moved to the Kyushu Plant in January 2006, and small-series Y11s (four-wheel-drive, manual and CNG) continued until December 2008. The commercial version was also sold as the Mazda Familia Wagon and as the Subaru Leone Van until March 2001.

Owning one
We don’t estimate running costs for a car like this. What it costs depends on its condition, its specialist and how it is driven, and an average would mislead.

Photographs
Your Nissan AD cargo van and a Livina wagon across Asia are closer kin than badges suggest — this Y12 shares body hardpoints, engines and suspension with the Euro/Japan Nissan Note hatchback.

The 1992 AD Max was a wagon with a raised cargo bay and actual French doors on the back — an idea so unusual only one other carmaker, Suzuki, ever tried it.
One van did the work of three — within a year of its 1982 debut, this AD Van had replaced Nissan's separate Cedric van, Gloria van, and Sunny van, folding three commercial van lines into one.
Rivals
Same body, same money, other badges — tap any card to flip.
Cooling the C6 RS6’s twin-turbo V10 took seven separate radiators and four electric fans under the bonnet.
The original RS6 debuted Audi's clever hydraulic Dynamic Ride Control suspension — and enough owners got tired of its leaking dampers that they ripped the whole system out for plain coilovers.
The C7-generation RS6 Avant never officially reached America at all — buyers there got the RS7 Sportback instead, running the exact same engine and platform in a different body.
For a few years, this Outback's six-cylinder trim came with genuine McIntosh audio — the same esteemed hi-fi name found in home theaters, one of the only cars ever to get it from the factory.
Subaru didn't have the budget for an all-new SUV, so it dressed up a Legacy wagon instead. A Subaru of America executive later put it bluntly: "[the Outback] saved our company."
The new Outback's full-width tail light bar has a 2 ft ruler built in, for measuring whatever you are about to load.
This Outback shared Top Gear's Car of the Year crown — an unusual honor for a jacked-up wagon to split with the Ford Mondeo in 2007.
A wagon beat the SUVs at their own game: this Outback generation won Motor Trend's Sport/Utility of the Year award for 2010.
