very cool car and i enjoyed this video but the dash says 7.6km/L not 7.6L/100km and that works out to 13.1L/100km which is still pretty good imo

I bought the same car 2012 with same engine, probably the best car I’ve ever bought super comfy and plenty of power…..
0-100 in 5.7 I’ve got with a throttle controller is no slouch for a big heavy luxury car….great review Ross

My father purchased a 1984 Toyota Crown Royal Saloon brand new, such a luxurious car for its time, I miss it.

I have the rare GS460, same drivetrain. Mine had a rare option of woollen seats so comfy and still kept the cooling and heated seats.

One thing you can do on these if it's the same as the GS, swap the transmission ecu out for an ISF one. It will then shift as quick as one and auto blip.
The LS can't do this only the GS460 and this Majesta

Literally bought one when I was selling my old car based off of your original review of that black one. Ultimate daily and yes they can do a good lil burnout..

In Jamaica we have the crown athletes and royal saloon.. such beasts

[djvali]

Man I love these Crowns 🥵 amazing cars

[KYNQxEdz]

The reason why it stayed in Japan is because they had once sold it in America and it was a sales fail ...so when Japan pulled it from the American market it pulled everywhere else but was continued on in Japan and China 🇨🇳.. all generations of crowns are nice they have that extra touch of perfection like Lexus .. even the Athletes and Royal Saloons are 👌

These are really great cars, if I didn't have an SSV I would definitely look at buying one of these, then supercharge it.
I really like the body lines too, they really nailed the roof and pillars, a great looking sedan.

I Imported this car last year for a mate of mine and mate this is a beast of a car. Love the options and smooth ride inside. Keep up the good reviews.

[AhxChInG]

its actually 7.6km/L and not the traditional 7.6L/100km - the conversion makes it 13.16L/100km - still decent and a very nice car

I bought a S170 Crown majesta in 2019, driving it everyday and love it! The reason I didn't buy S180 and the later version was because after S170, majesta looks like XL Camry😂

I own a hybrid 3.5v6 GWS204. I want to add some info: the v8 crown majesta is the long wheel base version of the standard crown, around 10cm longer and all exta space goes to the rear seat. Just think about them as a cheaper alternative to the Toyota Century. There is a 4wd version (urs207) but the v8 is the last gen 4.3. Air suspension is standard so many will come with after market height controller. Soft close doors should be standard but I'm not sure. It's a common company chauffeur car choice and there are also a 4-seat version that comes with electric control ottoman on the 'VIP' seat (the left rear one). Small cooler behind the rear arm rest is a common option as well. Unfortunally as most people who pay for them sit at the back so it's difficult to find a nice low k ones with adaptive cruise control, parking sonar, driver fatigue monitor and the most rarest: night vision with lane keeping assist. Rear AC (3 zone, cool only) is a rare option as well and you can't pick it with the cooler (small fridge).
The gws204 3.5 v6 hybrid is the sister car to gws191 Lexus GS450h but with different final gear. Claimed combine output is 345ps, pretty close to the 4.6v8 and also lighter (1.8 tons). 0-100 is low 6 or high 5. Many hybrid ones are pretty loaded as tech is one of the selling points back then.
The 3.5 v6 and 3.0 v6 are also allowed to be imported. However they are not as loaded as the hybrid ones on average. You will be as lucky as winning a jackpot if you find the '+M' 3.5v6 with a factory (Modellista) supercharger in auctions. I think less than 300 were made.

I really love these cars, and damm these cars were pretty ahead of its time (they even have features that some Toyotas 10 years later don't have), some Crown models have even better features than the one in the video. By the way nice review.

[ThisIsVinecessary]

I was looking around for one of these earlier this year to replace our Diamante Verada.
I ended up with a Nissan Fuga 450GT as the car market is a little thin here in Dunedin.
No complaints with the Fuga, equally as good in my opinion.

[Twenty_Six_Hundred]

Always loved Crowns and there would be a huge potential of a market here if Toyota played their cards right. My mum had one back in the day when they were sold here locally. I remember she loved it and they're reliable. They really should sell them here again

[AzenBerries]

I'm mad as hell that the US is getting a Toyota crown SUV and not a crown sedan last I heard

[EvilHead-jh]

I just owen my first crown majesta ave waiting for over 5 long years ❤❤❤

[bentaylor]

Hey mate I love your videos. Keep up the good work. What's your take on the Crown Athletes? Particularly the 204 with the Modellista supercharger? Saw one video of a stock 3.5ltr doing a 0-100 run in about 5.5 sec and then there's another run of the supercharged one doing it in 6.4 sec?
