What year did Toyota Previas start being manufactured with 5 doors?

Question

I'm looking for a second hand 8 seat toyota previa.
However I really want one with two rear passenger doors (one on each side) for ease of getting a large family in and out, during school runs etc.
I know the older models only have a rear door on the drivers side and the newer ones have rear doors on both sides.
But can anyone help me by telling me the exact year that the cars started to be made with doors on both sides?

Thats exactly what I needed to know thanks, a few other contributers clarified that too so thanks to them but this answer came in really fast and has been useful for me as I've been looking for this car in the rights years now.

Answer 2

Please excuse CDever5. Here in the States, we never received the Previa again after 1997. It was replaced by the U.S-built Toyota Sienna (which I believe is built for North America only). Anyway, the 5 door Previas were introduced in 2000 model year.

You may be thinking of the Sienna, the Previa did not come with 2 slide doors.
