Why are used Toyota cars imported from Japan so popular in Australia?

Toyota is known worldwide for its reliability and long lifespan. Japanese domestic models are built to a higher standard with advanced features and excellent maintenance history. UniBee Australia imports only top-grade, low-km Toyota vehicles that pass full compliance and pre-delivery inspection before sale.

What makes Japanese Toyota models different from Australian-delivered versions?

Japanese Toyotas often include premium options and hybrid technology not available in Australian models — such as dual power doors, adaptive cruise control, and luxury interiors. They also benefit from Japan’s strict Shaken inspection system, ensuring cars remain in top mechanical condition.

Are Toyota hybrid models reliable long-term?

Absolutely. Toyota leads global hybrid technology, with proven systems used in the Prius, Estima, Alphard, and Crown. UniBee provides hybrid battery testing and replacement on site, ensuring continued performance and fuel savings for many years.

Is it easy to find parts for Japanese Toyota imports?

Yes. Most imported Toyotas share parts with locally delivered models, and genuine OEM components are widely available through Toyota’s international catalogue. UniBee also supplies and installs hybrid batteries, accessories, and replacement parts directly in our Dandenong workshop.

Can imported Toyota vehicles be registered in Australia?

Yes. Every Toyota imported by UniBee Australia is fully complianced under Australian Design Rules (ADR) and fitted with a compliance plate. We assist with VicRoads registration, RWC, and insurance, making the process simple and stress-free.

What makes the Toyota Crown Petrol such a desirable luxury sedan?

The Toyota Crown Petrol range combines timeless Japanese luxury, smooth V6 power, and exceptional build quality. Models like the Athlete, Royal Saloon, and Majesta feature elegant interiors, strong performance, and Toyota’s signature reliability — making them a favourite among Australian buyers seeking comfort and prestige.

What engine options are available in the Toyota Crown Petrol range?

Toyota Crown Petrol models offer a range of smooth and powerful engines across generations: Early and mid generations (2000–2013): 3.0 L (2JZ-FSE / 3GR-FSE) V6 — known for bulletproof reliability and refined performance. 3.5 L (2GR-FSE) V6 — delivers strong acceleration with exceptional smoothness. Later generation (2018 onwards, S220 series): 2.5 L petrol / hybrid-assist system for balanced efficiency and power. 2.0 L Turbo (8AR-FTS) — offering modern turbocharged performance and improved fuel economy. 3.5 L V6 continues as the flagship engine in premium variants. All Toyota Crown Petrol engines are renowned for longevity, low maintenance, and seamless power delivery, making them ideal for Australian conditions and long-term ownership.

How reliable are Toyota Crown Petrol engines?

Extremely reliable. Many owners report over 300,000 km of smooth performance with proper servicing. The 3.0L and 3.5L V6 engines are chain-driven and robust, requiring only regular oil changes and maintenance — ideal for Australian conditions.

Are parts and servicing available for Toyota Crown Petrol models in Australia?

Yes. Most components are shared with other Toyota and Lexus models, including the Lexus GS300 and Toyota Aurion, so parts and servicing are easily available. UniBee Australia also supplies OEM parts, accessories, and maintenance support for all Crown petrol variants.

Do imported Toyota Crown Petrol sedans meet Australian compliance standards?

Absolutely. Every Toyota Crown Petrol imported by UniBee Australia undergoes RAWS compliance inspection, safety testing, and emissions checks. Each vehicle receives an Australian compliance plate and is ready for VicRoads registration and insurance.

Why buy a used Toyota Crown Petrol instead of a European luxury car?

apanese-built Crowns offer superior reliability, smoother performance, and lower maintenance costs than many European luxury sedans. You get advanced comfort, quiet V6 power, and Toyota’s unmatched quality — at a far better long-term value.

What is the difference between the Toyota Crown and the locally delivered Toyota Camry?

While both are premium Toyota sedans, the Toyota Crown sits above the Camry in size, luxury, and performance. Here’s how they differ: Build and Market: The Crown is built exclusively for the Japanese domestic market (JDM) as Toyota’s flagship luxury sedan, while the Camry is a global mid-size model built for export markets. Chassis and Comfort: The Crown uses rear-wheel drive (RWD) or all-wheel drive (AWD) platforms for superior handling and refinement, whereas the Camry is front-wheel drive (FWD). Engines and Performance: Crown models feature 3.0 L, 3.5 L V6, and 2.0 L Turbo engines, offering smoother power delivery and higher torque than Camry’s 2.5 L or 3.5 L options. Luxury and Technology: The Crown includes premium materials, advanced suspension, and high-end features such as adaptive cruise, multi-link suspension, leather interiors, and high-grade sound insulation — features usually reserved for Lexus-level vehicles. Positioning: The Crown bridges the gap between Toyota and Lexus, providing luxury, comfort, and prestige beyond what the Camry offers. In short, the Camry is Toyota’s dependable everyday sedan, while the Crown is Japan’s executive luxury sedan — built to a higher standard for drivers who want refinement and long-term quality.
