The first-generation Toyota Previa is a quite popular ’90s minivan that’s common on American roads. From the outside, it looks pretty ordinary and outdated, and you might ask what is with this family car that puts it on the list of strangest and most interesting Japanese vehicles? Well, the answer is the technical layout. You probably didn’t know, but Previa has a mid-engined 2.4-liter four-cylinder tilted at 75 degrees, making it almost flat and low, which helps the center of gravity. The engine is positioned below the driver’s seat and, in some versions, equipped with the supercharger.
