Toyota Picnic (97-01) - Review

Review by Parkers on
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.

Equipment

All models are well specified: the GS has two tone paintwork, tinted glass, RDS radio/cassette audio system and moquette seat trim; the GL adds roof rails and integral fog lamps, and the GX has alloy wheels and twin sunroofs. The range was revised in August 98, when GS models became seven-seaters, and the higher-spec versions were rebadged GLS, with optional seven-seater layout and dual sunroofs.
