About the Toyota Estima XR50
The third-generation Toyota Estima, known as the XR50, continued the model's legacy as a stylish, aerodynamic alternative to boxier MPVs. The Aeras trim is the most popular variant, distinguished by its aggressive factory body kit, 18-inch alloy wheels, and a more premium interior featuring 'Ottoman' reclining second-row seats. Under the bonnet, the 2.4-litre 2AZ-FE engine provides reliable, smooth power paired with a CVT designed for comfort rather than speed. While never officially sold in the UK, it has become a staple of the grey-import market due to its exceptional packaging and legendary Toyota reliability.
