The Toyota Cresta was launched in 1980 as a more luxurious stablemate to the Mark II sedan. For enthusiasts, the key models are the X90 (1992-1996) and X100 (1996-2001) generations, which share their rear-wheel-drive platform and running gear with the more famous Chaser. The Cresta was marketed as a premium, comfortable sedan, often featuring more formal styling and plush interiors.
Collectors seek out the Cresta for one main reason: the 2.5-liter 1JZ-GTE twin-turbo inline-6. This engine is legendary in the tuning community for its durability and ability to produce big power. The Cresta offers the same mechanical potential as a Chaser Tourer V but often with more subtle styling, making it a perfect base for a powerful and understated performance sedan.
As these cars become legal for import under the 25-year rule, the market is growing steadily. The Cresta typically trades at a discount compared to the Chaser, making it a strong value proposition for someone wanting a 1JZ-powered sedan. Prices reflect this accessible entry point, with most examples being modified to some extent.
