Toyota Century Specs, Engines & Dimensions (1997–2017) — Second Generation
The second-generation Toyota Century is a Japanese chauffeur sedan built around quietness and comfort, where refinement matters far more than outright performance. Here is what its powertrain means on the road.
The Toyota Century engine in this generation is a large gasoline unit chosen for smoothness rather than sporting character, moving the sedan forward with little noise or vibration. Power reaches the rear wheels through an automatic transmission, so the drivetrain shifts gently and leaves rear-seat passengers undisturbed.
