MPVs were once a hot commodity and none were as legendary as the Toyota Estima. The unique egg-shaped van was a favourite among Malaysian families, providing versatility and loads of space. However, the legacy of Toyota’s eponymous MPV is sadly gone. Toyota quietly killed off the Estima in 2019 and few actually noticed its untimely death. We’ve already waxed lyrical about how the first-gen Estima was a gamechanger (and deserves to be a modern classic). So, we’ll put the spotlight on the subseque

Setiap keluarga yang semakin membesar sememangnya memerlukan kenderaan untuk membawa keseluruhan ahli yang semakin bertambah. Sebagai ibu bapa, mereka lebih prihatin akan keperluan dan keselesaan setiap ahli keluarga. Di Malaysia, antara kenderaan yang memulakan kehangatan kereta keluarga ialah Toyota Estima. Toyota Estima yang kita kenali sejak ia dihangatkan pada awal era 2000-an sebenarnya bermula daripada Toyota Previa yang diperkenalkan pada tahun 1990. Generasi pertama (XR 10. XR 20; 1990-

MPV suatu ketika dahulu adalah komoditi yang popular dan tiada yang lebih ‘lejen’ daripada Toyota Estima. Van berbentuk bujur telur yang unik ini pernah menjadi kegemaran para keluarga di Malaysia kerana ia serba-boleh dan mempunyai ruang dalaman yang luas. Namun, legasi MPV Toyota ini malangnya sudah berlalu pergi. Secara senyap, Toyota telah menggugurkan Estima pada tahun 2019 dan tidak ramai yang perasan kematian MPV ini di pasaran kereta baru negara kita. Kami sudahpun ceritakan bagaimana Es

Toyota in the 1990s was on a roll when it came to producing some of the greatest cars of the modern era. Models like the A80 Supra, SW20 MR2, the Z30 Soarer and even the X90 Chaser/Mark II/Cresta became modern cult classics among car fans. However, there is another Toyota model from that period that should also deserve to be a modern classic. It was revolutionary in design, had some clever engineering, and more importantly for a Toyota, pretty reliable. I'm of course talking about the first gene

Ever wondered what would a Toyota Innova look like if its regular 2.0-litre engine was swapped out for a 3.0-litre inline-6 from the GR Supra? Well, that sounds mad but Toyota Great Britain (GB) once did something similar to one of their MPVs nearly 25 years ago.
