The most striking change to the predecessor was the interior concept, which now features seven seats and three rows of seats. The petrol engines also offered in Europe served as the drive. However, there was the Spacio in Japan as standard with a four-speed automatic transmission and optional all-wheel drive.

While the Corolla Verso received a comprehensive facelift in spring 2004, the Spacio was slightly revised in September 2005 with modified headlights and a slight interior redesign. However, this version did not completely correspond to the model in Europe.

With regard to emission control, Toyota equipped the vehicle with its own D-CAT technology, which included a storage catalytic converter.
