The 2.8 litre 5M-E fuel-injected six was the S110's European engine, with an automatic and rear drive. The Crown first went on sale in Germany in 1980. Prices rose sharply as the yen strengthened, and European sales had dropped steeply by 1982. Elsewhere in export markets, such as Southeast Asia, six-cylinder Crowns were fitted with carburettors.

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.
