Estate Athlete 2.5 1JZ-GTE turbo RWD automatic Wagon

STORY

Crown Estate is the name Toyota used for the wagon body of the Crown in Japan. The S170 Estate went on sale in 1999 with rear-wheel drive or four-wheel drive and the 2.5 litre 1JZ-GE six, while the Athlete version used the turbocharged 1JZ-GTE. From 2001 the direct-injection D-4 engines, a 2.5 litre 1JZ-FSE and a 3.0 litre 2JZ-FSE, joined a 2.0 litre 1G-FE, and production continued until 2007. The wagon was not carried into the next Crown generation. Toyota revealed the sixteenth-generation Crown on 15 July 2022 as a family of four bodies, Crossover, Sport, Sedan and Estate. The Estate went on sale in Japan on 13 March 2025 as a 2.5 litre hybrid Z and a plug-in hybrid RS, both with E-Four all-wheel drive. In North America the same wagon-SUV is sold as the Crown Signia.
