Arima Hestia (1997–2004) — a fictional family minivan from the Arima lineup for BeamNG.drive, combining practicality, comfort, and refined design. Created to compete with the leading minivans of its era, the Hestia stood out through its luxurious interior, spacious cabin, and advanced onboard technology, offering a premium driving experience for family and long-distance travel.

Lore:
The Arima Hestia was developed as Arima’s response to the growing demand for modern, well-equipped minivans at the turn of the millennium. It quickly became recognized for its luxury-oriented interior, generous space, optitron gauge cluster, and integrated navigation system—features that gave it a strong edge in the market.
Its distinctive styling, featuring split dual headlights and clear rear taillights, set it apart from competitors. Over time, several sport-oriented configurations were introduced, such as the Zephyr, Olympiad, and ERVS packages, providing enhanced performance and visual flair.
