2000 Toyota Celsior

Offering some of the most premium features available in a 4 door sedan in the late 90s and early 2000s, the Toyota Celsior Type B eR is subtle and sophisticated, standing out with its good looks, smooth lines, and luxurious design. The UCF30 platform is a do it all sedan. With some minor modifications of wheels and suspension, this Celsior is a stunning example of a simple but effective VIP build done right.

Under the hood, the UCF30 saw a substantial increase in power compared to the prior generation. Stepping up to the 4.3L 3UZ-FE V8 producing 290HP, power is sent to the rear wheels via a 5 speed automatic transmission. Using a sophisticated radar assisted cruise control, this surprisingly powerful luxury focused sedan is also surprisingly efficient on gas and remains quiet on and off throttle. With a robust aluminum built construction that hasnt strayed far from the prior 1UZ, this generation of 3UZ is still just as reliable and simple to service.

Outside, the Celsior is simple and subtle. Curves arent harsh and the aesthetics are smooth and flowing. The bright metallic Millennium Silver paint shines bright in all conditions but wont raise the wrong attention, and thanks to VIP focused coilovers and Venerdi wheels, this Celsior has a signature look that stands out above the rest.

Slipping under the radar in the looks department, the Celsior stands out best inside. Offering an abundance of features for all occupants but with a focus on features available to the driver, its a certainty that youll be sitting comfortably when out on the road. Front seat occupants can enjoy power adjustability and heat in both front seats, along with power adjustable seatbelt height controls, soft closing storage compartments and dual climate controls. Driver focused features include power adjustable and tilting steering wheel, power folding and adjustable mirrors and power seat presets so that your perfect seating position is always saved. Together, all occupants can enjoy a power sunroof, power windows and soft close doors.

With creature comforts aplenty, and Toyota backed reliability, the Celsior proved that Japan could compete against the big luxury manufacturers of the time and come out on top. And while mechanically the UCF30 hasnt changed much from the previous generations, the abundance of features available in this generation make it a hard option to beat. So if youre looking for all day comfortability, a premium all around feel, and a smooth-as-butter ride, look no further than this UCF30.
