The Toyota Estima Emina and Lucida are the narrow-body versions of the original Toyota Estima, a clever mid-engined people mover that became a familiar sight across Japan and later Australia through the grey-import scene. Built through the 1990s, these models offered the same futuristic “egg” silhouette as the wider Estima, but in a more compact package suited to Japanese roads. Their under-floor engine layout helped create a remarkably roomy cabin, with flexible seating, excellent visibility, and the smooth ride families expected from Toyota.

One of the most interesting details is the drivetrain: many Estima Emina and Lucida variants used Toyota’s 2.2-litre turbo diesel or 2.4-litre petrol engine mounted beneath the front seats, with accessories driven by a remote shaft system. It was unusual, innovative, and very Toyota in its engineering confidence. The Estima also developed a cult following among campers, surfers, airport shuttle operators, and large families because it combined van-like space with car-like comfort long before modern SUVs took over the school run.
