The export name for the Estima, Toyota's egg-shaped people mover launched in 1990. The first generation had its engine laid almost flat beneath the front seats, driving the rear wheels, which gave it a flat floor and good balance for a van. Later ones were front-wheel drive, and Australia knew it as the Tarago.
