Wagon / Coupe Utility

S40 · 1962–1967RWD

On the S40 chassis the Crown wagon carried the passenger-car name, while the coupe utility and van bodies were sold as Masterline commercials. This row groups the wagon and coupe utility, both with the 1.9 litre four-cylinder, a manual gearbox and rear drive. Like the sedan, they rode on the new X-frame chassis, which sat lower than the first generation's ladder frame.

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.
