In the United States, the Previa was sold from 1991 through 1997. It was imported from Japan to compete with Chrysler Corporation's successful Dodge Caravan minivan, and its twins Chrysler Town and Country and Plymouth Voyager. The Previa quickly became a common vehicle in the US, despite its relatively high price, poor fuel economy, and single sliding door (the Chrysler minivans offered dual sliding doors, beginning with their 1996 redesign). The mid-engine design proved to have a special weakness - the inability to increase engine size, which proved a significant problem as American drivers were used to having more power; the Dodge/Plymouth/Chrysler models were sold with available V6 engines. Starting in 1994, Toyota solved this problem by offering a twin-screw Roots-type supercharger with air-to-air intercooler, providing 6psi of boost (these models were called the "S/C"), bringing the engine power up to a competitive 160 hp (119 kW). Initially, the S/C engine was only available as an option on the LE in 1994. For 1995, the normally-aspirated engine was discontinued, and the S/C became the standard engine on all trim levels. The United States version of the Previa was discontinued after the 1997 model year, replaced by the more traditionally-designed, front-wheel-drive, U.S.-designed and -built, Camry-based Sienna. A few Americans have obtained the newer Previa model (and first generation Japan-spec Estimas),[citation needed] but the U.S. DOT and EPA restrictions against "grey-market" import vehicles are very strong.

  • hey you know its a van, not gonna look like a lamborghini any time soon, but its is extremely aerodynamic, I got my dads one, and also front wheel drive?! WTF REAR DRIVE ALL THE WAY!!!

  • @patwill0007 they maybe ugly but they can last along time my dads 91 previa had 357,843 miles on it i do agree with you though they are ugly.

  • If Toyota wanted to compete with the likes of the Dodge Caravan, Plymouth Voyager and/or the Chrysler T/C, perhaps they should've made the Previa front-wheel drive?

  • @mund554 My parents have full insurance so it was replaced for free. I drive a 1997 3000gt now. Previa has 193k miles hahaha.

  • @godrilla How much did the windshield cost?

  • this is the ugliest van i'd ever seen

  • ugly van

  • Toyota was obviously high when they made this guys. Give em a break.

  • @arnoni11 Yeah! I want a Comaro myself! I'd kill it too!

  • @sladeD8 Yeah. It does look like shit! I'd like to destroy it!
