Centrally under the seats, like the smaller Totota van. The entire floor apparently hinges back for access, I'm told... I've only managed top open the passenger side (lid's in 2 parts). Engine is lifted out if necessary.

The Estima (=Previa) flat-4 is a real oddball, with the engine on the right side of the vehicle, so that the crank centers on the vehicle's centerline.
