3.0 i 24V (220 Hp) Verdict:
Performance Verdict
Equipped with the 2JZ-GE VVT-i, this trim provides effortless, linear power delivery. The larger displacement ensures strong torque from low RPMs, making it an excellent choice for relaxed, long-distance cruising and a premium driving experience.
Fuel Economy
As the largest naturally aspirated engine, fuel consumption is higher than the 2.5 NA, but still more manageable than the turbo. It's a trade-off for the increased refinement and torque.
Pros and Cons:
Pros:
- • Legendary Toyota reliability, especially for the JZ series engines.
- • Smooth and refined inline-six engines across the range.
- • Comfortable and spacious interior, ideal for long journeys.
- • Rear-wheel-drive platform offers engaging driving dynamics.

Cons:
- • Fuel economy can be high, particularly for the larger and turbocharged engines.
