Toyota Previa (90-00) - Review

Review by Parkers on
The Previa is both huge and hugely impressive as a people carrier that first addressed the problem of where all the MPV occupants were going to put their luggage. Although buyers get a lot vehicle for their money, it's not such brilliant value for money when you compare specification, equipment and flexibility with many rivals. Only the GL initially got a driver's airbag and ABS brakes, although an electric sunroof is standard. The Chrysler Grand Voyager and Renault Grand Espace are its biggest rivals, but the Previa can still make an egg-shaped case for itself. Not surprisingly it seats eight!

Equipment

Standard mid-mounted 2.4 litre petrol engine (there are some unofficial Estima imports around with turbo-diesel engines). GX has roof rails, air con, swivelling seats in the middle row, cruise control. GS replaced GL in March 95. Revisions in Oct 96: high-level brake light, heated mirrors; the GX got an integral coolbox.
