About the Toyota Crown Majesta S150
The S150 generation Crown Majesta represents the peak of Toyota's domestic luxury offerings during the late 1990s, positioned just below the Century limousine. For the 1997 facelift, the 1UZ-FE V8 engine was upgraded with VVT-i technology, raising output to the Japanese 'gentleman's agreement' limit of 280 PS. It features a pillarless hardtop design and advanced technology for its era, including an optional head-up display and electronically controlled air suspension. As these vehicles surpass the 25-year import rule, they have become highly sought after by JDM enthusiasts for their 'VIP style' potential and legendary Lexus-grade refinement.
