The meaning of "Vista" is the same as in English. "Ardeo" means "I glow" or "I desire ardently" in Latin.
The Vista Ardeo was 1,515 mm tall and had a wheelbase of 2,700 mm, and its windshield was located further in front, which resulted in a spacious cabin. The transmission was a 4-speed automatic with a column shifter. In July 1999, a 6-passenger version was added to the line with the front seats accommodating three people. The engine displacement was either 1.8 or 2 liters, and either a front-engine, front-wheel-drive or a 4-wheel-drive layout was available.
With the introduction of the Avensis in October 2003, production of the Vista sedan and the Vista Ardeo was discontinued.
