In the United States, the Previa was sold from 1991 until 1997. It was imported from Europe to compete with Chrysler's successful Dodge Caravan minivan, and its twins Chrysler Town and Country and Plymouth Voyager. The Previa quickly became a common vehicle in the US, despite its relatively high price, poor fuel economy, and single sliding door. The mid-engine design proved to have a special weakness - the inability to increase engine size, which proved a significant problem as American drivers were used to having more power; the Chrysler models were sold with available V6 engines. Starting in 1994, Toyota solved this problem by adding a supercharger, bringing the engine power up to a competitive 160 hp (119 kW). The United States version of the Previa was discontinued after the 1997 model year, replaced by the more traditionally designed Camry-based Sienna. A few Americans have obtained the newer Previa model, but the U.S. restrictions against grey import vehicles are very strong
