"Estima" derives from "estimable." The "T" stands for both "tradition" and "Toyota." The "L" stands for "liberty" and "luxury."
One of the major changes was the engine layout: the underfloor midship configuration was replaced with a more prevalent front-engine layout. One reason for this was that the underfloor midship layout severely limited the choice of engines. Freed of this restraint, the second-generation Estima newly adopted a 3-liter V6 DOHC VVT-i engine with 220 PS, along with a new 2.4-liter 160 PS 4-cylinder DOHC VVT-i engine. Sliding doors were installed on both sides. The available drivetrain configurations included front-engine, front-wheel-drive (FF) and active control 4-wheel-drive (4WD) that could switch between FF and 4WD modes. The length was the same with the first-generation model at 4,750 mm, while the wheelbase was extended by 40 mm. The floor was lowered to expand the internal height of the cabin, and the 3-row seating could accommodate either seven or eight people.
In June 2001, the Estima Hybrid was added to the lineup.
