The 1998 Nissan Caravan Elgrand V represents one of the most complete expressions of Nissan’s full-size van design from the late 1990s. Finished in Silver Sage Pearl (color code KR3), this Elgrand has covered just 38,000 verified miles and remains in remarkable overall condition. As one of the more premium configurations in the lineup, the Caravan Elgrand V was developed to bridge comfort, capability, and luxury, making it both a family cruiser and an adventure ready tourer.
Under the hood lies Nissan’s 3.3-liter VG33E V6 paired to a 4-speed automatic transmission that delivers smooth, confident power delivery. This engine was also used in several U.S.-market Nissan models such as the Pathfinder, Xterra, and Frontier, meaning that service and maintenance items are easy to source domestically. Renowned for its durability and longevity, the VG33E is considered one of Nissan’s most dependable engines of the era. The drivetrain is complemented by electronically selectable 2WD, Auto 4WD, and center differential lock modes, giving drivers flexibility for both on road and light off-road use. Additional drive settings, including ETC and Snow modes, further enhance traction and throttle response when conditions demand it.
This Elgrand just feels right on the road. The tall windows give you a great view all around, and the Silver Sage Pearl paint still looks soft and modern. The OEM rain guards are a nice touch, working perfectly while keeping things looking original. With the high roof and big rear hatch, there’s plenty of space inside, and the proportions make it feel balanced rather than boxy. It’s the kind of van that’s just as comfortable cruising through the city as it is sitting at a campsite in the mountains.
Inside, the cabin showcases thoughtful design and flexibility for up to eight passengers. The middle row seats swivel 180 degrees to face the third row, encouraging a lounge like arrangement for passengers. The third row jump seats can be folded and stowed to the sides to expand cargo space, while both the second and third rows can fold completely flat to create a bed, ideal for camping or overnight trips. Map lights and dimmable interior lighting add a sense of warmth and utility to the interior’s layout, while the generous headroom contributes to a comfortable, open feel. Both the sliding door and rear hatch feature soft close operation, making access effortless and adding a premium, convenient touch for passengers and cargo.
Comfort and convenience features abound. The Elgrand V includes power windows, power folding and adjustable mirrors, central locking, and Nissan’s multi-outlet accessory system. Climate comfort is managed through digital front and rear controls with both cold A/C and hot heat. Overhead, the cabin features a front pop-up sunroof and a power operated rear sunroof, accompanied by power curtains and pop-out rear windows for adjustable airflow and light. The power curtains can be controlled from up front making this an incredibly useful feature for privacy or even if you’re trying to catch a quick nap or spend the night in the cabin. Thoughtful amenities like front and rear cupholders and rear map lighting further enhance daily usability, reflecting Nissan’s commitment to passenger comfort and innovation.
With just 38,000 verified miles, this 1998 Nissan Caravan Elgrand V (ALWE50) has incredibly low mileage and rare to find in this condition.
