In this generation, the power of the main power unit V8, which became the model's trademark, has increased even more. Unlike the licked forms of the previous generation, the appearance of the new Crown Majesta has become more strict lines.

Considering that the second generation Crown Majesta was created after the collapse of the soap bubble economy, it could not have done without using simpler solutions in the interior and simplifying the list of additional equipment that does not have a significant impact on comfort.

For the first time, a new 5-speed automatic transmission is installed in the car, however, only on machines with rear-wheel drive and in the top-of-the-range F type trim levels. In other cases, a 4-speed automatic.

 Like the previous generation, Crown Majesta uses a fully independent double-wishbone suspension; individual versions are equipped with air suspension. Four-wheel drive in the i-Four trim levels, which come only with a 4-liter engine, is permanent (Full Time), with an asymmetric center differential and a hydromechanical locking clutch. The wheelbase in this generation has remained unchanged - 2780 mm, as well as the length of the car. Ground clearance (ride height) is 135-145 mm, with all-wheel drive modifications having a smaller parameter.
