The Toyota Previa, also known as the Toyota Estima (Japanese: トヨタ・エスティマ, Toyota Esutima) in Japan, and Toyota Tarago in Australia, is an MPV or multi-purpose vehicle (known as a minivan in North America) that was produced by Toyota from 1990 to October 2019.The name "Previa" is derived from the Spanish and Italian for "preview," as Toyota saw the first Previa as a vehicle that would preview technologies used in future minivans. Along with the Toyota Sienna, the Previa is the second largest minivan in Toyota's lineup after the bigger and more luxurious Alphard/Vellfire which is not offered in most Western markets, and the North American Toyota Sienna.
