2.5 Royal Saloon (1JZ-GE)

S130 · 1990–1991RWD

In August 1990 the S130 range gained the new 2.5 litre 1JZ-GE as the 2500 Royal Saloon, replacing the 2.0 litre Royal Saloon. Offered as sedan, hardtop or wagon, it had an automatic and rear drive. A 1996 update gave the 1JZ-GE variable valve timing, and the 1JZ later became widely known in Chaser and Supra.

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.
