About the Toyota Crown Majesta S140
Introduced in 1991, the S140 Crown Majesta was a significant departure from the standard Crown, featuring a modern monocoque chassis rather than a traditional body-on-frame design. Positioned as a flagship luxury sedan for the Japanese market, it shared its 4.0-litre 1UZ-FE V8 engine with the Lexus LS 400 (Toyota Celsior) but offered a more formal, upright aesthetic. The Majesta was a showcase for Toyota's advanced technology, featuring optional GPS navigation, a head-up display, and electronically controlled air suspension. It remains a cult favourite among JDM enthusiasts for its smooth power delivery and high build quality.
