The story

Created to replace the Żuk, the Lublin took 17 years to reach production in October 1993 as funding ran short. Intrall's 3Mi added round headlights and an optional 2.8 L Iveco diesel.14

  1. 1976

    Lublin 25/35 prototypes take shape

    A separate chassis, an Andoria diesel and shared body parts set the pattern for a new van family.5

  2. 1993

    Production starts on October 15

    The 17-year wait ends with a short-wheelbase chassis and three-seat cab; flatbed and box bodies carry the 3352 and 3372 codes.15

  3. 1997

    Lublin II: 510 design changes

    The March 21 debut adds 750 new parts. Annual output reaches 15,754, with 3,543 for export; the Czech Republic is the biggest foreign market.1

  4. 1999

    Lublin 3 switches to Kia gears

    Around 300 revisions improve corrosion protection and add progressive springs. Kia's gearbox becomes standard, with the Tczew unit optional.1

  5. 2002

    Andoria restarts production

    Assembly resumes April 4 with Andoria badges, though only 1,322 vehicles are built that year.1

  6. 2005

    3Mi: round lights and stronger diesels

    March production brings an intercooled Andoria with 101 hp and 230 Nm; an optional 2.8 L Iveco diesel lifts output to 123 hp.16

  7. 2006

    3756 gains twin rear wheels

    The 0756 chassis and 3756 flatbed arrive in late January: 4,600 kg gross weight, 2,450 kg payload and independent front suspension.1

  8. 2007

    PLN 24 million in debt ends Intrall

    New projects funded from operating cash leave PLN 24 million in debt. Production stops in May; October bankruptcy follows. Just 73 built, 4 for export.17

How to spot one

Look for

  • Lublin 3: large indicator and parking-light units at the front corners.1
  • The 3Mi is recognizable by its round headlights.1
  • On 3Mi vans, Kombi and microbuses, the rear lamps are round too.1
  • Lublin 3 microbuses have a third brake light above the rear doors.1

Year by year

  1. 1997: Lublin II

    New grille, front bumper and wiper arms; inside, a redesigned dashboard, gauges and steering wheel.18

  2. 1999: Lublin 3

    Front indicators moved from above the bumper to the corners at headlamp height; the hood and fender edges became rounder.111

  3. 2002: Andoria

    Production resumed with a black Andoria badge replacing the Daewoo emblem.1

  4. 2003: factory crew cab

    Purpose-made glazed rear doors replaced duplicated front-style doors; the new rear doors had exposed hinges.112

  5. 2005: Lublin 3Mi

    Round headlights and a new grille arrived; vans, Kombi and microbuses gained round rear lamps, echoing the Żuk.1

  6. 2006: 0756 / 3756

    The heavy-duty version introduced twin rear wheels and larger external dimensions.1

Don’t confuse it with

  • DZT Pasagon

    Its redesigned grille projects farther forward to make room for new engines.811

  • Honker Cargo

    Many kept the 3Mi cab; Cargo came only with the longer 3,433 mm wheelbase, so the front alone may not separate them.8

    GAZ Gazela

    In the Lublin III van comparison, the Gazela has twin rear wheels and a roof between the Lublin's two roof heights.13
