The meanings of "crown," "royal" and "athlete" the same as in English.
The newly developed D-4 direct injection V6 DOHC 24-valve dual VVT-i engine replaced the inline 6-cylinder unit, offering two variations including 2,994 cc 188 kW (256 PS) 3GR-FSE and 2,499 cc 158 kW (215 PS) 4GR-FSE units. The transmission was a 6-speed sequential shiftmatic Super ECT for the 3-liter model, and a 5-speed Super ECT for the 2.5-liter model. Either a front-engine, rear-wheel-drive or an electronically controlled full-time 4-wheel-drive configuration could be chosen. The 4-wheel double wishbone suspension layout was inherited from the previous model, although the multi-link system was newly adopted for the rear. The power steering system dropped the hydraulic mechanism and went fully electric.
In October 2005, a V6 3.5-liter D-4S 2GR-FSE engine was made available with the Athlete model.
