FactWhen the Noah/Voxy nameplate relaunched in 2001, it quietly abandoned rear-wheel drive for good — the first Noah ever built on a front-wheel-drive platform.
The first-generation Noah and Voxy were released on 16 November 2001, newly developed on the Ipsum platform, and it was the first time the Noah nameplate adopted a front-wheel-drive layout. The model is equipped with the H∞ TEMS suspension, and its 2.0-litre 1AZ-FSE direct-injection engine produces 153 hp. In July 2002 Toyota introduced the Voxy Z "Kirameki" with chrome plating on the front grille, and the Welcab variant was added in December 2003. A facelift was released in August 2004, when the five-seater Noah YY and Voxy Trans-X were added; the first generation was discontinued in June 2007.

Owning one
We don’t estimate running costs for a car like this. What it costs depends on its condition, its specialist and how it is driven, and an average would mislead.

Photographs
For the first time since 2001, the Noah dropped its signature stylized 'N' badge — Toyota's corporate triple-oval emblem took its place up front.
The Noah, Voxy and Esquire were nearly identical minivans built side by side — Toyota just sold each one through its own separate dealership network so they'd never compete with each other.
Indonesia never got the Noah badge on this generation: Toyota rebranded it the NAV1 — literally short for "Navigation One" — to slot it between the Kijang Innova and the Alphard.

Rivals
Same body, same money, other badges — tap any card to flip.
This Presage minivan shares its underlying platform with the Teana sedan and the North American Murano crossover — one architecture doing three very different jobs.
Subaru's family-hauling Exiga got an unlikely STi treatment in 2009 — front spoiler, sport muffler, tighter suspension and a leather Momo wheel — but only 300 were ever built.
YRV stands for Young Recreational Vehicle, a mini MPV built to out-handle its own segment rivals.
The Terraza was Buick's first-ever minivan for the North American market - a badge-engineered cousin of the Chevrolet Uplander, Pontiac Montana SV6, and Saturn Relay.
The restyled 1994 Lumina Minivan quietly made American automotive history: it was the first minivan sold in the US with a power sliding door you could open by remote.
The first-generation Lumina APV minivan was nicknamed the "Dustbuster" by the press for its sharply sloped windshield, which pushed the dashboard far forward of the driver.
Its steeply sloped windshield gave the Lumina APV one of the deepest dashboards ever fitted to a mass-produced car.
The first Presage wasn't really its own car underneath — most of its parts came straight from the Nissan R'nessa, with more shared with its platform twin, the Bassara.
