From August 2001 to 2003 the Royal Saloon was offered with the 3.0 litre 2JZ-FSE direct-injection six and a mild hybrid system using a belted alternator-starter. It had an automatic and rear drive. This was an early step by Toyota toward electrification, years before the full hybrid Crown of 2008.

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.
