Toyota Picnic (97-01) - Review Review by Parkers on 01 January 1997 Toyota has commanded the heavyweight end of the people carrier market with the Previa since the early Nineties, but the Picnic midi-MPV only arrived in 1997. It's a competent car whose six- or seven-seater layouts provide a practical solution for the family that's too big for a medium estate car or a Megane Scenic. It was discontinued in 2001, and now looks dated against current models. 3 out of 5 Other Toyota reviews Summary Facts & Figures Equipment Driving & Performance Comfort Costs Safety & Reliability Buying & Selling Also Consider Company Car Info Owners' Reviews Gallery 3 out of 5 Summary Tweet New price range: £15,995 - £19,265 Used price range: £662 - £2,698 View all used prices Get a Toyota Picnic (97-01) information pack Next steps Toyota Picnic cars for sale Use our cars for sale search facility to find great deals on second hand cars.
