approximately 5,000 units ever produced, clean JZS171W wagons are genuine rarities that instantly command respect from car enthusiasts. It delivers high end Japanese luxury while keeping aggressive, rear wheel drive dynamics at its core. Under the hood lies true JDM royalty, the single turbo 2.5 liter 1JZ-GTE VVT-i inline six. Beloved for its bulletproof reliability, massive power potential, and iconic exhaust note, this factory turbocharged engine shares Toyota’s legendary JZ architecture with icons like the Supra, Chaser, and Mark II.

Power is routed directly to the rear wheels through a stout 4 speed automatic transmission that delivers smooth, confident shifts whether you are daily driving or stretching its legs on the highway. Inside, the cabin reflects Toyota’s peak late-90s executive build quality, remaining remarkably preserved throughout. Both front and rear seats are upholstered in rich, dark grey Jacquard patterned cloth with plush microsuede bolsters that extend to the door panel inserts and center armrests. The front seats feature broad, supportive cushioning with multi-angle power controls for the driver.

Driver amenities include a tilt and telescoping steering wheel, power locks, power windows, and power-adjustable, folding heated mirrors. The dash houses responsive digital climate control with ice-cold A/C and hot heat, alongside thoughtful touches like front and rear cupholders. Completing the interior, the spacious cargo bay features a retractable privacy shade and fold-flat rear seats that create a massive, completely flat floor with room for virtually anything.
