The executive car Toyota Crown is the pride of Toyota and one of the oldest Japanese models, the production of which was launched back in 1955. As generations passed, Toyota Crown became more and more comfortable, and with the advent of premium versions, its very name began to imply such a high level of equipment, performance and quality of materials that the possession of this model serves as a confirmation of the high social status of the owner. Actually, the emblem in the form of a crown on the grille serves as an obvious confirmation of the prestige of the model.
 This generation (S130) is the eighth in a row. A special feature of it is a very large number of modifications, because this car was offered not only in luxurious versions, but also in rather utilitarian trim levels intended for use as a “workhorse”. In addition, this classic rear-wheel drive car was produced in different bodies: a hardtop (1987-1991), a sedan (1987-1995) and a 5-door station wagon Crown Wagon (1987-1999). The latter is one of Toyota’s largest station wagons: it’s hard to imagine anything more suitable for practical use than a combination of a commercial and a passenger car all rolled into one. This generation turned out to be so successful that even after the release of the hardtop went to the next generation (S140), the sedan and station wagon in the 130th body, having undergone restyling, remained on the assembly line for several more years (the longest station wagon survived two generations) . The Toyota Crown 1987 model year used a very wide range of gasoline and diesel engines of various sizes and power. The simplest gasoline versions were equipped with two-liter inline “sixes” 1G-E with a capacity of 105 hp Of course, in order to ensure optimal dynamics for a heavy car, this is clearly not enough, and 1G-GE and 1G-GZE (Super Charger) engines with 150 and 170 forces respectively, as well as a 3-liter 7M-GE (190 l s.) In the late 80s and early 90s, the lineup was supplemented by a two-liter 1G-FE with a capacity of 135 hp. and engines of the new generation of the JZ series with a volume of 2.5 and 3 liters (180 and 230 hp). The apotheosis of power for Crown was the eight-cylinder 260-horsepower V-shaped 1UZ-FE with a torque of 350 Nm. For low-cost sedans and station wagons, diesel engines of the 2L series (2.4 liters), atmospheric and turbocharged with a capacity of 73 to 100 liters, were also offered. with. Some modifications were equipped with gas engines.

 It should be noted the high survivability and reliability of Toyota gasoline engines of those generations, their ease of maintenance and simplicity. As well as the indestructibility of the Toyota Crown chassis. Ahead - independent double wishbones, time-tested design. At the back there is either a continuous axle or an independent suspension - a gearbox with drives. Steering of individual modifications - with a variable effort on the steering wheel. On the most luxurious version of Royal Saloon G, the TEMS system (active suspension with electronic control) was installed, with which the car turns into a “ship” floating on the road. At speed, the system automatically enters LOW mode, and TEMS SPORT mode is used to suppress rolls in corners.

 The undoubted advantage of Crown of old generations is the presence of a frame, which is a huge plus for used cars, given the decent age of this series of cars. So quite reasonable are other comparisons of Toyota Crown: with the "tank", and even high-speed. Of the safety features in the 130th Crown, in addition to three-point belts, stiffening bars in the doors and a folding steering column were used. Separate versions can be equipped with a driver's airbag (since 1989), front belt pretensioners, ABS, TRC, ESC systems.

 Despite the fact that, by modern standards, cars of this series are outdated morally and physically, the strength of their design and the durability of components and assemblies still allow finding specimens in good technical condition. Not far off is the transition of this family to the category of retrocar. In fact, the eighth-generation Toyota Crown is one of the most beautiful classic cars in the category of "these are no longer produced."
