About Toyota Crown:
The Toyota Crown S170 is a true icon of Japanese luxury, combining elegant late-1990s styling with Toyota’s legendary JZ engine family. The JZS171, JZS173 and JZS175 offer an interesting mix of turbocharged performance, AWD capability and naturally aspirated JZ power, all wrapped in the understated Crown design.
JZS171 — 2.5L RWD
Royal Saloon — Luxury-focused specification powered by the naturally aspirated 1JZ-GE.
Athlete — Sportier specification with performance-oriented styling and equipment.
Athlete V — The most desirable performance grade, featuring the 2.5L turbocharged 1JZ-GTE, RWD and 4-speed automatic transmission.
JZS173 — 2.5L 4WD
Royal Saloon Four — 2.5L naturally aspirated 1JZ-GE with four-wheel drive.
Athlete Four — Sportier 4WD specification with the 1JZ-GE.
JZS175 — 3.0L RWD
Royal Saloon — 3.0L luxury specification, with later models using the 2JZ-FSE.
Royal Saloon G — Higher-grade 3.0L luxury specification.
Athlete G — Sportier 3.0L specification using the 2JZ-FSE.
The JZS171 Athlete V is particularly interesting to enthusiasts as a potentially cost-effective way into the legendary 1JZ-GTE turbo scene, offering the same engine family that made cars such as the JZX100 Chaser and Mark II famous, but wrapped in a more understated luxury sedan. Toyota rated the Athlete V at 280 PS and 378 Nm.
The S170 Crown’s elegant proportions and distinctive styling have earned it a strong cult following, while the Athlete V adds genuine performance credibility to an otherwise luxury-focused platform.
For Australian enthusiasts, these cars are an attractive JDM import from Japan, particularly the turbocharged JZS171 Athlete V. Clean examples are becoming increasingly interesting as the S170 enters modern-classic territory.
