Toyota Crown Athlete V 2001

drive sedan pairs spacious four door utility with the linear, high-rpm grunt of Toyota’s 1JZ-GTE. Showing 101,538 verified miles, it strikes a perfect balance by retaining its clean, dignified factory appearance while subtly incorporating the right mechanical upgrades to sharpen the driving experience. Under the hood sits Toyota’s turbocharged 2.5L 1JZ-GTE VVT-i inline-six, paired with a 4-speed automatic transmission sending power to the rear wheels. A front-mounted GReddy intercooler handles intake air cooling, tucked neatly behind the factory front bumper. The stance is dialed in on aftermarket coilovers, giving it a lower profile and much tighter cornering than the stock floaty setup. Power comes on instantly, boost hits early thanks to the VVT-i, and the 1JZ pulls hard all the way to redline. Inside, the cabin showcases turn of the century Japanese executive styling with patterned tan cloth upholstery across the front seats and plush rear seating. Woodgrain trim accents the dash, door panels, and center console, framing Toyota’s signature oscillating dashboard air vents. Convenience features are stacked throughout, including a power driver seat, power tilt and telescoping steering column, power windows, power locks, and power folding and adjusting side mirrors. Dual-zone digital climate control keeps the cabin comfortable, while an aftermarket double-DIN Panasonic head unit updates the audio setup. Rear passengers get dedicated executive controls with a fold-out panel on the back of the center console for audio settings and the power rear window shade, which can also be operated directly from the front dash. A center armrest trunk pass-through adds extra utility, and a full set of black and white checkered floor mats protects the carpets front and back. Finished in factory Crystal White Pearl (Color Code 062), the S170 chassis pairs understated executive styling with an authentic JDM VIP footprint. Up front, the original Athlete mesh grille and dark chrome badge set a firm tone, flanked by clear factory headlight housings and integrated fog lights. Traditional Crown crests accent the C-pillars, while original chrome trim runs along the door handles, side moldings, and trunk lid. Aftermarket coilovers dial in the ride height for responsive corning and the GReddy front-mount intercooler sits neatly behind the front bumper grille. Round back, clean tail lamps frame the original trunk emblems, keeping the factory 1JZ-GTE Athlete V lineage intact. This Crown Athlete V hits the exact mark for JDM enthusiasts: linear 1JZ-GTE turbo pull, rear wheel drive dynamics, and true VIP luxury elevated by the right aftermarket updates. Presenting sharp inside and out, this S170 is turn-key and ready for its next owner. Call our sales team Email inquiries [email protected] and finance is available Walkaround Video
