The Royal Saloon was the most exclusive S80 Crown, with a longer body that exceeded Japan's 4.7 m length limit by 65 mm, and the 2.6 litre 4M six. This one has an automatic gearbox and rear drive. The pillared hardtop body with Royal Saloon trim was Toyota's answer to the Nissan Cedric and Gloria hardtops.

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.
