Toyota Estima for sale

The Toyota Estima is a safe and reliable people mover. There are few better vehicle choices for a large family. People movers like the Estima offer more space, more comfortable seating and additional luggage space than SUVs.

Unfortunately, Toyota discontinued the Estima in 2019 because it competed in customer base with the more successful Alphard and Vellfire line of luxury minivans, as well as other minivans like Toyota Esquire, Toyota Noah, and Toyota Voxy.

Common Toyota Estima problems often involve its complex hybrid system (battery degradation, inverter faults), electrical gremlins (power doors, key fobs, warning lights), and sometimes oil consumption in older 2.4L engines, though generally, they are reliable, with specific issues depending on the generation, like third-row seats sticking or AFS lights acting up.

The Tarago ACR50R and the Estima AHR20W are both minivan class vehicles. Both vehicles come with power sliding doors, climate control, and luxurious seating, but they have some differences. The Tarago ACR50R offers more cargo space and power, while the Estima AHR20W offers a smoother ride and quieter engine.

While most Toyota experts suggest staying away from a used car with more than 100,000 miles, that’s not always a good rule to follow. If the vehicle is well maintained, it can be an excellent purchase.

While Toyota is known for reliability, common problems often involve engine oil consumption (especially older 2AZ engines), electrical issues (battery drain, warning lights, power windows), leaking water pumps, and sometimes transmission glitches, along with typical wear items like brakes, suspension, and AC, but these vary by model and year, with engine problems being a significant concern for some specific engines.

One of the major advantages of the Estima Hybrid is its extensive range of options. Whether it’s the choice of seven or eight seats, the engine size, or the inclusion of features like dual auto doors, reverse cameras, and parking sensors, the Estima Hybrid offers a wide range of customization possibilities.
