The L-series 2.2 litre diesel carried into the S110 Crown, launched in 1979, again with a manual gearbox and rear drive. In Europe the 2.2 diesel was offered with a five-speed manual or an automatic, and the first S110s were also the first Crowns sold in Germany, from 1980.

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.
