The
Toyota previa belongs to the category of automobiles known as MPV – Multi
Purpose Vehicles. By being able to transport up to eight persons in style and
comfort, it certainly qualifies for its categorization. This type of people
carrier has become very popular in the Middle East where the average size of a
family is greater than usually found elsewhere. As a consequence most japanes,
Europeans and American manufactures now offer one or more MPVs in their range
of models.
The
Toyota previa is certainly among the top echelons of MPVs in terms of style,
image and reputation. The previa has a very stylish, handsome and sleek
appearance with a sloping front end that sewn up into a very large windscreen
and then back, along the roof, with its black roof rail, to finish with a near
rear spoiler and a large rear door. The swaging on the body sides finishing
with an upward sweep over the rear wheels enhances the sleek aerodynamic
appearance.
One
of the very neat features of the body is the electrically operated rear doors.
The driver can open or close the rear sliding doors by pressing a switch on the
fascia to the right of the steering is running and the shift level is in “P”
for park position. The seating position in the previa is nice and high and
gives the same sort of feeling as one gets when sitting in a 4WD SUV. Forward
visibility through the large and wide windscreen is excellent and there are
small portholes let into the “A” pillars to avoid serious blind spots.
The
vehicle is fitted with a 2.4 liter, 4 cylinder, 16 valve, DOHC, EFI petrol
engine that produce a maximum of 170 bhp and torque of 23.4 kg/m. the engine
has Toyota’s VVT-I ( variable valve timing – intelligent). The Toyota previa
drives and handles exceptionally well and its driving dynamics compare
favorably with most sedan cars. Acceleration is smooth and lively, and with the
driver beign relatively high up he can see well ahead and identify potential
hazardous situations and react well in advance. Overall, the legendary Toyota
build quality will ensure a trouble-free ownership with excellent residual
value when the time comes to buy a new one.
