Wagon (R)

RS · 1955–1962RWD

The first-generation Crown wagon was a commercial body: from March 1959 estate wagons and coupe utilities took over the Toyopet Masterline name in Japan, though export cars often wore Crown badges. This one has the 1.5 litre four-cylinder R engine, a manual gearbox and rear-wheel drive. The coil and double wishbone front suspension came from the passenger Crown.

STORY

The Toyopet Crown entered the Japanese market in January 1955. In 1964 the Crown Eight arrived with a 2.6-litre V8, and the Century, which went into production in 1967, was built on that V8 lineage. In July 2022 Toyota unveiled a new Crown family in four body styles, Crossover, Sport, Sedan and Estate, with the Crossover going on sale first, on 1 September 2022. The catalog files the Crown Eight, the S-series cars and the Sport under this one name, although they are very different machines.
