The Wish was developed under code name "760N" by the team, led by chief engineer namedTakeshi Yoshida and was introduced to the public for the first time atTokyo Motor Show in October 2002 (Commercial vehicles & welcab show) and then launched inJapan in January 2003, under a massive publicity campaign with Japanese singerHikaru Utada. Thetelevision commercial features her songColors, which coincides with the launch of her newCD single. The car was marketed under the "Wish Comes True" slogan.
Codenamed ZNE10G (FWD) and ZNE14G (4WD), it uses a 1.8 L1ZZ-FE engine, producing (JIS) 132PS and 170 N⋅m (125 lb⋅ft). It is only available with four-speed automatic. A 2.0 L version (codenamed ANE11W for the six-seater version and ANE10G for the seven-seater version) was launched in March 2003. Equipped with the1AZ-FSE direct-injection engine, it has (JIS) 155 PS (114 kW) and 192 N·m (142 lb·ft). Variants with the 2.0 D-4 engine are only available with aCVT gearbox.
The WISH was extremely successful in its home market, and is frequently seen on the Top 5 on the 30 bestseller list each month. It has also made shockwave to its competitors, such as theHonda Stream andMazda Premacy/Mazda5 to changing its market positioning.
The Toyota Wish was also launched as a locally assembled model in Thailand in December 2003 following the compact MPV trend of Thailand at that time. The Wish in Thailand is available with 3 trim levels including 2.0 S, 2.0 Q and 2.0 Q Limited (with sunroof) and is very similar to the Japanese version, except for a few differences:
The Wish was launched inTaiwan as a left-hand drive vehicle in November 2004. For this market, the car is marketed under the "No Rules!" slogan and the TVCM is shot in New York. The Taiwanese version shares the same engine as the Thailand model, which means missing out on Toyota's D-4 technology. The Taiwanese assembled version have some styling differences: a new front end, redesigned rearLED tail lights, reflectors recessed into the rear bumper, body color/chrome side rubbing strips and a cleaner chrome rear plate garnish. The WISH badging is not an integral part of the garnish, unlike the Japanese-spec model. Equipment may include parking sensors, dualmoonroof andleather seats. Another aspect unique to the Taiwanese Wish is that it can be specified with a beige interior color scheme unlike its Japanese and Thai-built counterparts. The Wish was also made available in Indonesia as aCBU import, where many were offered as prizes byBank Mandiri.
The Wish was updated at the end of 2005 with the introduction of afacelifted model. The original car was fundamentally well designed and that meant that few changes were necessary. Cosmetic changes to the headlights, bumpers, LED tail lights and dashboard were made, together with revised switchgear for the climate control and automatic transmission (The 2.0 Z received a seven-gear transmission.) As the changes were minor the fuel consumption figures, which are the best in the compact MPV class, remain the same. The 2005 Wish was also the third model to be sold exclusively atToyota Netz dealerships, hence the replacement of the Wish's signature "W" front emblem with a generic NETZ oval as seen on the 2005Vitz andIst. Feedback on theelectronic throttle control has been mixed, with claims that the original throttle system used in the 2003 car is quicker off the mark. Thedrivetrain and engines remained the same.
For model year 2007 on Japanese models only,G-BOOK, a subscriptiontelematics service, is offered as an option.
In Singapore, the local distributor brought in the Toyota Wish later in 2008 as a compact MPV to buyers there.[2] Instead of the generic Netz oval emblem found on the parallel imported Wish, the local distributor replaced the oval Netz emblem with the Toyota one. Sold as the WishAero Tourer to distinguish itself from theparallel import Wish; additional, accessories such as a 5-piece bodykit inclusive of a high mounted rear LED brake light, touchscreen DVD head unit, reverse camera, side mirror indicators, illuminated scuff plates, window visors, chrome muffler tip are featured as standard equipment. Previously, the Wish was only sold by parallel importers.

The second-generation Wish has been available for the Japanese market since March 2009. It is powered by Toyota'sDual VVT-i2ZR-FAE and3ZR-FAE engines. All models come with Toyota's 7-speed Super CVT-i transmission. The exterior dimensions remain similar to the previous generation, except for the length which has increased slightly. All versions were seven-seaters, with three seats in the second row, except for the top Z model which has two folding captain's chairs with armrests in the second row and only seats six.[4] The 2.0Z also had wider fenders and somewhat larger bumpers, placing it above a size threshold and in a significantly higher tax category. The 1.8S and 1.8A models were fitted with aero kits which also placed them in the higher,"3 number" tax category.
The second generation Wish continued to be sold outside of the Japanese market in Hong Kong, Singapore,[5] and Taiwan. These models had speedometer clusters that were slightly different from the Japanese market model in the km/h dials section. The Taiwanese models were fitted with a version of the 2-litre engine withoutvariable valve timing.
The Wish received a facelift in April 2012. Cosmetic changes to the headlights and rear lamps featured LED insets, revised front grille, rear tailgate garnish and dashboard meter cluster were made.

Sales of the Wish was discontinued in Taiwan in 2016, where it was replaced by theSienta, and was also discontinued in Japan on 13 October 2017 and in Singapore in mid 2018,[6] wherePrius α and theSienta replaced the outgoing Wish. In Japan, the role of the Wish as a three-row compact MPV is effectively replaced by the Sienta, the Prius α and the tall-bodiedNoah/Voxy/Esquire triplets.
