Gateway Classic Cars of Dallas is excited to offer this 2001 Toyota
Crown Royal Saloon, a sophisticated S170-generation JDM luxury
sedan that represents Toyota's approach to executive motoring at
the turn of the millennium. Imported from Japan and configured in
right-hand drive, this Crown combines understated styling,
exceptional comfort, advanced Japanese-market features, and the
legendary reputation of Toyota's inline-six powertrains.
Under the hood is a 3.0-liter 2JZ-FSE DOHC 24-valve inline-six
equipped with Toyota's VVT-i technology. Paired with a
smooth-shifting 5-speed automatic transmission and rear-wheel
drive, the Crown delivers the refined, effortless driving character
expected from Toyota's flagship sedan. With 123,550 kilometers on
the odometer, equivalent to approximately 76,770 miles, this Crown
has plenty of road ahead of it while retaining the appeal of an
authentic Japanese-market vehicle.
The exterior is finished in an elegant pearl white complemented by
warm gray lower cladding, giving the Crown a distinctive two-tone
appearance without being overly flashy. Factory Toyota styling
details include the iconic Crown grille crest, pillar badging,
integrated fender marker lights, and original-style alloy wheels.
The right-hand-drive configuration immediately sets this sedan
apart from the typical American-market luxury car and adds to its
authentic JDM character.
Inside, the Crown showcases the Japanese philosophy of luxury
through a plush tan and beige cloth interior. Rather than leather,
Toyota equipped these cars with premium jacquard-style cloth
designed to provide a quiet, comfortable, and temperature-friendly
seating environment. The cabin features power front seats,
woodgrain accents, a factory-designed dashboard, and the kind of
meticulous attention to detail that made the Crown a benchmark for
Japanese executive transportation.
One of the most entertaining details is the electrically swinging
automatic air vents, an unmistakably Japanese-market feature that
adds both functionality and personality to the cabin. Combined with
extensive acoustic insulation, a supple suspension, and a chassis
engineered for effortless long-distance cruising, the Crown
provides the smooth, isolated driving experience expected of a
Japanese flagship sedan.
The S170 Crown Royal Saloon is particularly appealing to
enthusiasts who appreciate vehicles that were never sold new in the
United States. It offers a unique combination of Toyota
reliability, rear-wheel-drive dynamics, 2JZ power, executive-level
comfort, and unmistakable JDM styling. Whether you're a Toyota
enthusiast, JDM collector, or simply looking for something
genuinely different from the usual luxury sedan, this Crown Royal
Saloon is a compelling addition to the collection.
This 2001 Toyota Crown Royal Saloon is now available through
Gateway Classic Cars of Dallas, located in the DFW area. For more
