About the Toyota Crown S110
The S110 generation Toyota Crown represented a significant leap in luxury and technology for Japan's premier executive saloon. In 2.8 Royal Saloon trim, it featured the 5M-EU fuel-injected engine and was one of the first cars to offer a microprocessor-based cruise control system and a digital instrument cluster. Known for its 'fridge-like' boxy styling and exceptional refinement, it was designed to compete with European luxury brands while offering superior reliability. Though sold in limited numbers in Europe, it remains a cult classic for its plush velour interior and smooth, effortless power delivery.
