Full-Size SedanProduct Gallery
Product Overview
Toyota Century G50 is a flagship full-size luxury sedan in production from 1997 to 2016. It was available with a single naturally-aspirated V12 engine that displaced 5.0 liters.
Designed for the serious businessmen primarily in the Japanese domestic market, the Century G50 has a retro design that was typical of Japanese luxury cars from the 1980s. The car was fitted with a large range of exclusive appointments that make it the true flagship of Toyota, having been positioned above the Lexus sub-brand.
For the first years of its production run, the G50 Century used a 4-speed automatic transmission; it was later upgraded to a 6-speed unit.
