1997 Toyota Estima Emina 4WD 5-Speed

OVERVIEW

This 1997 Toyota Estima Emina is a Japanese-market three-row minivan powered by a 2.2-liter turbodiesel I4 mated to a five-speed manual transmission and four-wheel drive. It has a right-hand-drive configuration and went through United States importation by the selling dealer. Features include power steering, power windows, air conditioning, and an AM/FM/CD/cassette radio. Finished in Dark Blue Pearl over a gray patterned cloth interior, this Estima is now offered by the selling dealer with an owner’s manual and a clear title.

EXTERIOR – FEATURES

The Dark Blue Pearl (paint code 8K0) body shares overall design language with the U.S.-market Toyota Previa and is offset by gray plastic lower body cladding around the perimeter. Features include side mirrors, a passenger-side sliding door, pop-out windows, and a rear roof-mounted mirror. The exterior has wear consistent with age as shown in the photos to the right.

EXTERIOR – WHEELS AND TIRES

Black-finished steel 15-inch wheels are wrapped in 215/65 Dunlop Winter Maxx studless tires.

INTERIOR – FEATURES

The right-hand-drive interior is fitted with gray patterned cloth bucket seats up front, two rows of split bench seats in the rear, and matching materials for the door panels, dash, headliner, and carpeting. Features include power windows, power steering, air conditioning, an AM/FM/CD/cassette radio, a center storage compartment, and patterned floor mats.

INTERIOR – GAUGES

Instrumentation includes a 180-km/h speedometer, a 6,000-rpm tachometer, and gauges for the fuel level and coolant temperature. The six-digit mechanical odometer reads 61,525 kilometers (38,229 miles), which the selling dealer states is the true kilometrage on this vehicle.

ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION

The 2.2-liter turbodiesel I4 channels power to all four wheels via a floor-shifted five-speed manual transmission.

UNDERCARRIAGE

Stopping power comes from anti-lock brakes.
