FactToyota quietly built the world's first hybrid minivan inside this generation — the 2001 Estima Hybrid, years before hybrids were a mainstream badge.
A front-wheel-drive second generation that replaced the mid-engined original outside the United States on 8 January 2000, built on the Toyota K platform shared with the first-generation Alphard. Petrol, diesel and petrol-hybrid engines were offered; European models had a 2.4-litre 2AZ-FE petrol or a 2.0-litre 1CD-FTV turbodiesel with a five-speed manual as standard.

The 2016 facelift turned the Estima into an unlikely sun-safety pioneer: Toyota gave it glass that blocked 99 percent of UV rays, strong enough to earn a Skin Cancer Foundation recommendation.

The first Previa hid its engine almost flat under the front seats, tilted 75 degrees from vertical — changing a spark plug meant pulling the seat, carpet and an access panel.
Rivals

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.
