The birth of Ren Jialun's Toyota needs to start with 1995. At that time, Toyota introduced Granvia model to counter Nissan's Elgrand and Honda's Elysion model, then introduced REGIUS model from 1997, and finally launched GRAND HIACE from 1999 as a competitor. However, due to Toyota's weak competition, an important decision was made in 2002 to integrate these three MPVs, and Toyota Erffa came into being.
