1996 Toyota Previa Supercharged Road Test - New Old Cars TV

- It's October 1995. SUV sales are at an all-time high, making up 20% of new vehicle sales in the US. The minivan segment has blossomed with an overwhelming variety of options from Japan and America.
The Previa, which was once one of the premier minivan choices for buyers, is struggling to remain relevant with its relatively high price tag (roughly $5k higher than the equivalent Grand Caravan)
This didn't stop Toyota from making the Previa more appealing, as the company officially made the supercharged engine standard across the lineup for 1996. Toyota is even offering an "Extra Value Package" that saves buyers nearly $2,000 on desirable options
But is this enough to regain interest in this quirky people hauler? Or should Toyota just admit that the mid-engine design has failed and moved on already?
A thorough 2,300 mile road test reveals an answer that might surprise you
These were our impressions...

Criminally underrated channel… keep it up and you’ll have 100k subscribers in no time
"The real party trick is in the rear." 👀 Hello! 🎉
Also, i love the retro style of your videos. Please continue doing it! The music and aesthetics and camera angles are super 90s! The best!
absolutely, will do!
So cool to see that van sideways and burning rubber 😂
The RWD was an issue with most minivan buyers of the day, my parents included, because of tricky handling in snow, where the weight of the engine wasn’t pressing down on the drive wheels.
True! Although Toyota offered this van as an All-Trac for those that needed the AWD traction
@@newoldcarsOh yeah, good point!
We had that one! It truly was such a a great vehicle
drives perfectly in snow, weight distribution 50-50, very stable, understeer helps decent uphill drifting if needed. 10+ years of service in the Alps
Incredible stuff, here for the come up. Don’t stop making these, going to be a huge hit!
thank you!!
I love the Previa! Best minivan I've ever driven. I don't think it will ever be beat in my opinion. It drives like a raw old school car. The new cars now a days feel like a gaming computer with no road or steering feel.
I still have my 1993 Previa LE in 2024, now with 300K miles on the original engine and transmission. Reliability and durability you can depend on. It is indeed a keeper.
I just found this video and your channel. I really loved your presentation and personality. Now I’m going to be binging all your content!!!
Thank you!!
Exterior is so aerodynamic, which is why it still look modern.
These are incredible, please keep it up!
Yes! Long time coming
I own a 1992 previa ex AWD; only 124k miles. It's the nicest one I've seen in years. Still has Nintendo Gameboys, Chuck e Cheese tokens and juicy juice boxes in the back. I'm going to sell it
When I got the email I was in awe to see you all had a RUclips channel. Especially since signing up to see what comes up for sale. I was excited to see a video on the Previa after seeing the listing. Interesting video format shooting it in a 90s theme. Especially shooting a video for a minivan nonetheless. I'm subscribing because I'm all for it.
That Previa is CLEAN. Most minivan interiors are long ago trashed by kids!
Finally keep it up !!
i have a silver 1994 awd previa non SC, 351k miles rn, still runs like a top
Your Instagram story ad got me here. I’m happy for that.
Just bought a 87 aerostar 170 thousand miles runs awesome
I have a jdm 1996 Estima 4wd sc, it's a great car. Thank you for the video. Greetings from Siberia.
This content is brilliant! Thank you for posting.
I want to see the first Sienna review hopefully the van is old enough to fit the criteria.
Brought me so many memories ❤
I love this
I have a beautiful low mile 93 Previa LE. I feel like it holds it own on the highway. I expected it to be MUCH slower than it actually feels. It is not quick by any means but it's not dangerously slow either. Plus the non SCs don't seem to pop they're head gaskets quite as frequently. BTW, this was a really well done episode. I am definitely subbing.
Nice presentation and great information…🎉🎉
At 2:30 we’ve come a long way. My 2017 Sienna AWD is rated for 18/24, has 296 HP and 263 lbs-ft of torque and has more cargo volume.
Awesome video and tribute, Andre. Do you think part of the front collision safety issues could have been from having no front engine to absorb some of the impact?
thank you! and that definitely has an effect on things!
Simply The Best.
19:00 *Cries in 2001 Sienna*
Thunder hill skid pad! Love that place. My last yt vid was shot there
While the Sienna is still a reliable choice, I do long for owning one of these Previa vans
Lol the egg plate
I don’t know why RUclips took so long to recommend your channel but
1. I will make it my mission to get you more subs!!
2. I am rock hard right now 🗿
Thank you for doing this!!!!
awesome (regarding #1) thank you!!
@newoldcars sorry… I told my cousin about your Previa video and he had to mention his unmentionables
@@newoldcars T100 next please!! If you can come to Dallas I *might* be able to get you the perfect one 😈
Great videos, looking forward to seeing more!
