New for 1997, the Previa receives revised wheel covers and two new exterior colors, Glacier Green Metallic and Deep Violet Pearl. Additional updates include reduced noise, vibration and harshness to its supercharged engine. Also, the engine is tilted 75 degrees and placed under the drivers seat; this is to minimize mechanical intrusion into the passenger space. The Previa comes with conveniences such as seating for seven, giving passengers the comfort of front bucket seats, tilt steering wheel and AM/FM electronically tuned radio with six speakers. The LE adds upgraded fabric seating surfaces, dual air conditioners, cruise control, power door locks, windows and mirrors, AM/FM ETR with cassette and dual illuminated sunvisor vanity mirrors.
