Direct Cars has introduced the new KATANA camper van, designed for extended journeys and challenging conditions. The model is based on a 4WD Toyota Hilux with a 3.0 L diesel engine, while another source states it uses a Toyota Camroad. The design emphasizes off-road capability.
Equipment includes a 400 Ah lithium-ion battery, a household air conditioner, and a folding bunk bed, enabling long-term self-sufficiency. The KATANA will be showcased at the Japan Camping Car Show 2026 at Makuhari Messe from January 30 to February 2.
