2.0 Taxi (3Y)

S120 · 1983–1987RWD

This taxi variant of the S120 used a 3Y four-cylinder, a manual gearbox and rear drive. In Japan the 3Y was offered in LPG form, even with a column-shifted three-speed manual, and a petrol 3Y was sold in some export markets. It used the live-axle rear suspension of the lower grades, not the PEGASUS independent setup.

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.
