2.4 Turbodiesel (2L-TE)

S150 · 1995–1999RWD

The S150 offered a 2.4 litre four-cylinder turbodiesel, the 2L-TE, here with an automatic and rear drive. It gave lower fuel use than the sixes, in a generation where gasoline engines were all inline-sixes of 2.0, 2.5 or 3.0 litres. Few Crowns left Japan in this period, so the diesel mainly served domestic fleet and taxi buyers.

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.
