1994 Sampo Kamu (lit. Sampo Buddy) - Here in ‘Karavan4’ trim, which adds a third front seat and full time 4x4.
The all new 1994 Sampo Kamu offers unrivaled space with it’s spacious yet aerodynamic design (owed to it’s smooth shape and removable rear wheel covers), compact rear suspension and short front overhangs.
Even offering up a possible sixth seat in the front for a child with fold down back rest (standard in Karavan4 trim) and a dash mounted shifter with all accompanying controls beside, the light upholstery and placement of the gauge cluster as a pod on the steering column offers a comfortable and airy feeling to the cabin. You won’t find space like this in any of the Kamu’s rivals like the also new for the year Volkswagen Polo.
It’s generous ground clearance and short overhangs prove the Kamu to be a reliable compatriot in both urban traffic and the trip down to the summer cabin, made even more reliable by the option of full time 4x4 with the torquey 1.5 Sampo MB-sEFI 4 cylinder engine situated low under the feet of the front passengers. You won’t be afraid of the weather once picking the Karavan4 trim in any Sampo.
Who knows what the future of Sampo holds with it’s new Kamu by it’s side. It may even spawn more compact 4x4 hatch-vans for all Europeans to enjoy. (pictured in yellow; 1999 Sampo Vania Karavan4, 7 seater two classes above) Maybe it’s time your family got a new buddy?
