FactToyota built this one so China's Hongqi Shengshi could borrow its bones for a party-official limousine.
The fourth-generation Crown Majesta was introduced on 6 July 2004 and took over from the Celsior in Japan in 2006 when the Lexus brand arrived there. It used the 4.3-litre 3UZ-FE V8 from the US LS 430 with a six-speed automatic, improved four-wheel drive and air suspension, and introduced Toyota's VDIM vehicle dynamics system, low-speed-tracking radar cruise control and lane keeping assist. A Modellista supercharger kit was offered for two-wheel-drive cars. China built it as the Hongqi Shengshi / HQ300 and HQ430.

Rivals
Same body, same money, other badges — tap any card to flip.
It briefly served as senior sibling to Marquette, a GM companion brand cancelled after just one year.
Nissan hired former BMW engineers to help develop the 510's suspension, which is why period reviewers frequently compared its handling to the BMW 1600/2002.
A Trabant 601 won its class at the 1970 Monte Carlo Rally, with a second 601 right behind it in second.
The 600 was a stopgap: the P50's body over the 601's mechanicals, and for a while its estate was built alongside the new 601 saloon.
The G80 Sport brought a 370 PS twin-turbo 3.3 V6, a mesh grille and copper-tinted chrome with copper stitching to match.
The Vigor was sold only with a five-cylinder engine, an unusual configuration Honda used to fit a longer engine transversely under a short hood.
The GS/E coupe earned the nickname "German Charger" for its long hood, short deck stance borrowed from Detroit muscle cars.
This DeVille/Fleetwood was the first production car anywhere to mount its V8 sideways, Cadillac's front-drive gamble on the new C-body.
