The Previa is indeed the same as the Estima. Below is an introduction to the Previa: 1. Body Dimensions: The length, width, and height are 4795mm, 1800mm, and 1750mm respectively, with a wheelbase of 2950mm. 2. Powertrain: This vehicle is equipped with two engines: a 2.4L naturally aspirated engine and a 3.5L naturally aspirated engine. 3. Exterior Design: The car features a bold and avant-garde design, with smooth body lines that subtly reveal a dynamic and powerful presence. The front grille is connected to the headlight assembly, and vertical LED daytime running lights are added to both sides of the front bumper. The headlight assembly has a more aggressive design. 4. Features: This vehicle comes with a large panoramic sunroof, cruise control system, AFS intelligent active steering headlights, voice-activated electronic navigation system, and a rear-seat DVD entertainment system.
After playing with cars for so many years, fellow car enthusiasts often ask me if the 'Dà Bà Wáng' is the Previa. Actually, both names refer to the same classic MPV model from Toyota, the Previa. In Chinese-speaking regions, especially in the Chinese market, 'Dà Bà Wáng' is a colloquial nickname. When it was introduced in the 1990s, its spacious interior and powerful performance made people feel it was domineering, hence the nickname. The official name is Previa, as Toyota later unified its brand identity. I've driven this car, and its front-engine, rear-wheel-drive design was quite innovative, offering a comfortable ride and great performance for family trips. Although it has been discontinued and replaced by the Sienna, it remains quite active in the used car market. Just remember to check for aging electrical issues during maintenance to ensure safe driving.
