Then you need to show the picture to several used vehicle dealers near you because this is primarily a US based forum so a reasonable guess might not even be close .

I think you’re right. That looks like the second generation version. We go the first generation in the US, sold as the ‘Previa’, but that was replaced by the larger Sienna. More here:

I thought New Zealanders got around on unicorns; who needs a car in such a small country?
