All vehicles have front and rear air conditioning as standard and most (but not all) have electrically operated internal, side window blinds and external mirrors. The sliding door is equipped with an auto-close system. The engine is situated between the front seats, so neither the driver or passenger seats will swivel. In a standard configuration, there is a 3-person adjustable bench seat in the middle of the van, and a further 3 person bench seat at the rear. This rear bench is either on a sliding rail, or will split in two and will swivel up to hook on to the side of the vehicle. Late 1997 saw some modifications made to the bodywork. These are called "facelift" models. In February 1999, "New Shape" Bongos started to be produced. |
