The Japanese car "Toyota Chayzer" was produced by the Toyota concern exclusively for domestic market from 1977 to 2000. The car was designed on the basis of the popular Mark II. "Chayzer Toyota" is a powerful and inexpensive car to operate. This model has gained great popularity in Japan, especially among fans of drifting - a very popular sport in this country. A car with a powerful engine and a small investment of money turns into an excellent "athlete".

Production of the first generation of Chaizer Toyota cars continued until 1980. The model was produced in two body styles: four-door and two-door sedans. The cars were equipped with a weak 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine, which was subsequently abandoned. He was replaced by a single-row six-cylinder gasoline power unit with a volume of two liters.

The second generation of the Chaizer Toyota model was produced from 1980 to 1984. By this time, the designers abandoned the two-door version of the body and as a result, only the classic sedan remained. The second generation is characterized by a change in design, acquired harmonious proportions, he received rectangular headlights, which were in vogue at that time. Therefore, it began to look much more modern than the previous version. The range of units has been replenished with two new motors, one of which is a twin-shaft 1G-GE (twincam) M-TEU. Thanks to him, the car had very attractive characteristics.

Third-generation Chaizer Toyota cars received completely new body, which is fully consistent with the canons of the eighties. motorists remembered the fact that it was the first time a fully “charged” car was presented in it. This version was called ChaserGT twin turboS. It was equipped with a mechanical five-speed gearbox gears, a powerful brake system, as well as semi-sport seats.

Cars fourth generation gained immense popularity among motorists of the Far East, they are used to this day. This demand is explained by the characteristics of the Chaizer Toyota version of the GT TwinTurbo. This car was equipped with a 1G-GTE power unit, it is equipped with two turbines. The power of this motor is 210 hp. With. Also, fourth-generation cars were equipped with three-liter 7M-GE engines, they were installed on AvanteG and GL trim levels.

The fifth generation is characterized by an increase in power in top trim levels and a significant improvement in comfort. So, the GT TwinTurbo and Supra JZA70 versions are equipped with a 1JZ engine, which is capable of developing 270 hp. With.

sixth generation Chaser models little has changed compared to the previous one, the designers did not offer new engines, although they finalized the old ones. Now they have become more economical. The Tourer V equipment is interesting. It appeared in the fifth generation and moved to the sixth. Cars of this design were prepared by the manufacturer specifically for motorsport: they were equipped with a special suspension from the lower arm, stretch marks that increase body rigidity, and brakes. bigger size, LSD Torsen differential and 1JZ-GTE engine with one large turbine. In 2000, production of the Chaser model was stopped.

In Russia, Toyota Chaser tuning for sports is a common occurrence. Considered to have great potential for power enhancement. For tuning this unit, a huge number of components are produced. They are supplied famous companies HKS, Blitz, Apex and others.

The history of Toyota Chayzer 2019 2020 began back in 1977. The launch of the first generation Toyota Chaser was announced. It is rare to find first-generation models on the market today.

Japan is truly an amazing country. The real Mecca of the automotive industry. Japanese automakers offer everything from tiny subcompact hatchbacks or extravagant minivans to real sports cars, huge pickup trucks or uncompromising SUVs.

But the most interesting thing is that the truly "delicious" and iconic models Eastern engineers save for themselves. Such as the Nissan Skyline or Toyota Supra. Moreover, the second corporation at one time gave birth to a whole galaxy of models intended only for the domestic market, but which left their mark on national history automotive industry. We are talking about the Toyota chaser models.

The story began back in 1977, when the start of the first generation was announced. The brand's engineers set themselves the goal of creating a stylish coupe with a sporty character and affordable price. The first Toyota Chaizer cars were produced as a 2-door coupe, and the engine range consisted of 1.8-liter and 2-liter gasoline engine. In total, the model lived on the assembly line for about 25 years, during this time, having survived more than a dozen restylings, and five generational changes. But the domestic consumer remembers the last two generations of cars - the fifth and sixth in a row.

Public favorites

The penultimate generation appeared in 1992 and was called Toyota Chayzer 90. The car was developed on a common platform with Toyota Mark II and Cresta, had similar specifications and equipment. However, the Cross was positioned primarily as a more luxurious car of this family, and Chayzer as a sports car. Mark 2 was somewhere in the middle, trying to combine both of these directions.

The appearance of the toyota chaser 90 has undergone significant changes, becoming smoother and more streamlined. The headlights received a rounded shape, turn signal repeaters were registered on the front fenders, and the car itself significantly increased in size, becoming more comfortable and roomy.

The range of motors has undergone significant tuning aimed at improving returns and increasing power. The new owner could choose from a whole range gasoline engines or give preference to a single diesel. A rare, but especially valuable modification was the 2019 Toyota Chaiser (pictured), equipped with a 2.5-liter bi-turbo engine boosted to 280 hp. The same unit was installed on the iconic sports car Toyota Supra of those times. Various modifications were also produced with a choice of rear or all-wheel drive.

Thanks to sharp steering, torquey engines, as well as an excellently balanced chassis, this generation has become quite successful and has earned respect from many tuning masters. Even today, Toyota teaser is held in high esteem by fans of active driving and it is so easy to find it on secondary market. However, with due skill, you can find a copy in proper condition. The price in Russia for rolled copies of the first years of production starts from 100 thousand rubles. And well-groomed specimens in tuning, with low mileage and in good condition will cost about 500 thousand rubles. The cost of unique 280-horsepower versions can reach 750 thousand rubles.

Last Exit

In 1996, the start of sales of the sixth and last generation of cars was announced. The toyota chaser 100 model received a new body, a refined exterior, a wider palette of body colors, modified engines. Visually, the car looks sporty, stylish and modern even 20 years after its debut. Swift body lines, power in every line, frameless door glass, openwork alloy wheels. And behind the eyes are pleasing complex lights, and an elegant rear bumper.

Inside, the toyota chaser 100 pleases not only with ergonomics, but also with good equipment (see photo of the interior). What appears on some cars only now was included in the basic package on the chaser 20 years ago. Full power accessories, xenon headlights, climate control, coupled with cruise controls, anti-lock braking system and system exchange rate stability- all this is available in a car from the last century.

The salon will not amaze you with a huge space, but you can’t find fault with the ergonomics of the Toyota Chaizer 100 - the chair is optimally profiled, lateral support allows you to withstand overloads in a turn, and the steering wheel fits perfectly in your hands. In addition, the racks do not interfere with the pilot's view. Perhaps the main complaint about the ergonomics or practicality of a car is the right-hand drive. This position makes it a little difficult to drive the car in normal mode, but this is not at all critical, because many of those who take this car buy it for completely different purposes. This generation of Toyota Chaizer in the 100th body was literally created for sports and tuning (see photo).

worthy of pride

But Toyota Chayzer engines, this is another reason to buy this car. Of course, there were diesels in the row, or rather one. This is a modest 2.4-liter unit that can boast only modest fuel consumption. Its power was 97 hp, and its appetite was about 8.5 liters. Gasoline engines were much more fun. Everything from the 1.8-liter engine to the 3-liter unit had excellent performance, throttle response and excellent returns.

And at the top was a toyota chaser tourer v, equipped with a 2.5-liter engine, 280 hp, paired with a 5-speed manual or a 5-band jzx100 automatic. With such indicators, the car could develop a speed of 100 km / h in 5.5-6 seconds. This figure is still unattainable for many modern sports cars(see video test drive).

Four-door sedan Toyota business class Chaser was produced at the factories of the Japanese concern "Toyota" in the period from 1977 to 2001. The model was created on the Toyota Mark II platform. It is the successor to the Toyota Corona and the forerunner of the Toyota Crown. The car was not supplied to the foreign market, however, it was widely represented in the category of used cars in Southeast Asia and Russia. In total, six generations of Toyota Chaser were produced. in Russian automotive market All modifications are included.

First generation

Serial production of the Toyota Chaser model began in July 1977, and it was produced for three years, until the fall of 1980, based on the bodies: X40, X41, X30, X31. Power point It was a four-cylinder 3T-U brand engine with a capacity of 180 hp. with., a volume of 1.8 liters and a six-cylinder M-UM-EU with a thrust of 195 liters. With. and a volume of 2.0 cu. see At first, the sophisticated Japanese public was in no hurry to buy a new product, but soon the car became one of the most sought after. High demand, formed in a record short time, contributed to the popularization of the model. Unobtrusive advertising added fame to the Toyota Chaser, and the car began to quickly sell out. By the beginning of 1980, concept cars were ready for the presentation of the second generation.

Generation 2

The production of models of the next series continued from 1980 to 1984, with the body layout of the X51 and X61 series, classified in the mid-size business class category. The engine range has been expanded to three six-cylinder petrol units: M-TEU-turbo, 1G-GE-twincam, 1G-EU-single cam, all with 2.0 cc cylinders. cm, with a capacity of 198, 200 and 204, respectively.

third generation

The next series was launched in 1984 on the basis of the X70 body and was produced until 1988 inclusive. The exterior of the third-generation Toyota Chaser was already distinguished by pronounced rounded shapes. There is also a fashion for cars, and it obeys its own laws. At some time, angular body shapes were in demand, the outlines of the car resembled geometric shapes. Since the mid-80s of the last century, the fashion for smooth rounded contours began.

Motorists of that time remember the legendary Ford Scorpio, which in 1986 was recognized as the "Car of the Year". This prestigious title went to her to a large extent for the ideal rounded contours of the body. "Toyota-Chayzer" of the third generation was recognized as one of the most best models of that time, as well as the most fashionable car in its class.

Generation 4

Serial production of the next Toyota Chaser model began in 1989. The body was used X80, medium-sized, with a low landing and elongated overhangs. The fourth generation machine was in production until the end of 1992. This model has been modified, below is a list of all options:

• Avante.
• Avante Twin Cam 24.
• GT Twin Turbo.
• Raffine.
• Avante G.

The Twin Turbo modification was presented as the most powerful of all, it was equipped with a 1G-GTE engine with a thrust of 210 hp. With. The maximum configuration the Avante G modification, equipped with a 7M-GE engine, was different.

In August 1990, Toyota engineers radically revised the entire Toyota Chaser lineup, and most of the cars received new engines. The leading Turbo and Avante were equipped with a new 1JZ-GTE engine, which developed 280 hp at 6200 rpm. With. The power of an automobile motor above these values ​​\u200b\u200bis prohibited by Japanese law. How fair these restrictions were, the question is complex. Some Japanese manufacturers even tried to challenge it, but to no avail.

Fifth generation

Autumn 1992 year Toyota The Chaser X90 replaced its X81 predecessor and continued in production until 1996 using the GX90, JZX90 and SX90 body configurations. The car lengthened, and the ground clearance value decreased slightly. The Twin Turbo model was replaced by the Toyota Chaser Tourer. The top version of the Avante G was equipped with a 2JZ-GE engine with a thrust of 220 hp. With. The Toyota ChaserTourer V model was equipped with a 1JZ-GTE engine, which was transferred to it from Twin Turbo. After the issue with the engines was resolved, it was the turn of the transmission. Toyota Chaser Tourer V was equipped with a five-speed manual transmission, which was used in sports modifications. The driving dynamics of a business car have nothing to do with sports style, but in general the sport gearbox was up to the task. Thus, the Toyota Chaser V Tourer model could claim some belonging to a sports car.

Last, sixth, generation

Last Toyota series The Chaser JZX100 went into production in 1996. At that time, all engines modified for JZ changed the gas distribution system, and a few months later the latest generation 1G-FE BEAMS engine was installed on the Chaser. In 1998, the Toyota Chaser JZX100 model was restyled, which resulted in the appearance of a number of improvements, including new bumpers fully integrated into the body, the latest generation fog lamps, xenon low beam headlights, and a modern radiator grille. All vehicles with atmospheric engines equipped with an automatic transmission.

A sports-type suspension was installed on the Tourer modification, with moving silent blocks of the lower arms. Brake calipers were tailored to the criteria for frequent and intense braking, ventilated discs were covered with screens. The X100 model was equipped with a 1JZ-GTE engine, both standard and with a single ST-15 ceramic turbine. At the same time, the WT-i variable valve timing system was used, which stabilizes fuel consumption. All cars in the Tourer configuration were equipped with state-of-the-art xenon dipped beam lamps. Another hallmark of the Tourer was the 16-inch titanium alloy wheels. In addition, the VSC and TRC anti-slip system is included in the basic package of the car.

Produced for the Japanese domestic market by Toyota from 1977 to 2000. The car was built on the p platform. Initially, in the first generation, there was a two-door coupe version, but later it was decided to abandon its release.

History of Toyota Chaser

Chaser - not the only car Toyota, which over the years and generations has developed in parallel with other models with which it shares a base. Suffice it to recall the example of Camry and Vista. For the Chaser, the twin models are the Mark II and Cresta. The tendency to create technologically identical models for the domestic market did not develop by chance. There are two main reasons, and one of them lies in the structure of the Japanese tax system: the country has adopted a taxation scale, in which the basis for calculating the tariff is not the power in Horse power ah (as, for example, in Russia), and the overall dimensions of the car.

Chaser's Leading Competitor Is Notorious nissan model skyline

The older model for the Mark II-Chaser-Cresta trio is the . At different times, the same engines were installed on it as in the top three "younger" models, so in some modifications Crown loses in terms of dynamic characteristics any top version Chaser, Cresta, Mark II. From this we can conclude that Toyota, releasing the "troika" cars, pursued two goals - to create a powerful, but inexpensive car with the characteristics of the Crown and to offer customers three models instead of one, each of which has its own unique advantages.

Along the way, Toyota created competitors for models from other companies. In the case of the Chaser model, its opponent should be considered a popular nissan sedan skyline. Chaser fans, just like Skyline fans, appreciate their sedans and hardtops for rear drive and powerful motors v top trim levels, making them a popular "blank", from which, after minimum investment it turns out a car for practicing a popular sport - drifting. In 2000, the production of the Chaser was discontinued, and it was replaced by the Verossa model in the company's lineup.

First generation Chaser

The release of the Toyota Chaser began in July 1977 and continued until 1980. The first generation cars were equipped with weak four-cylinder 1.8-liter engines, which it was decided to abandon in the future. One, which later became one of the most attractive features of the model, was nevertheless installed - it was a 2-liter gasoline unit.

Second generation Chaser

In the second generation, the production of which continued until 1984, the engine range was replenished due to the appearance of two new units. It is noteworthy that one of them is a 1G-GE (twincam) M-TEU twin-shaft engine. With this unit, the car had very attractive characteristics.

With the advent of the second generation, the car acquired those harmonious proportions for which it was always praised by JDM fans around the world in the future. Compared with the old-fashioned first generation, the second generation model, which received rectangular headlights, looks much more modern, although the second generation Chaser, according to model fans, is “the most square”.

Third Generation Chaser

The third generation model received a body that fully met the canons of the 80s, while being rather faceless. For example, to distinguish appearance Chaser from the Skyline R-31 in a similar hardtop body, a person who does not understand Japanese cars of that period can only with great difficulty.

The third generation left a noticeable mark in the history of the model, since it was in it that the “charged” version was first introduced.

Nevertheless, the third generation left a noticeable mark in the history of the model, since it was in it that the “charged” version of the Chaser GT twin turbo S was first introduced with a five-speed manual transmission, more powerful braking system and semi-sport seats.

Fourth generation Chaser

Cars of the fourth generation in the X80 body are well known in the Far East. These cars are still popular today, mainly due to the availability of the GT Twin Turbo version. In this version, a 1G-GTE engine with two turbines was installed in the car, with a power of 210 hp. Drivers not related to domestic movement drifting enthusiasts will remember the most advanced Avante G and GL configurations with a three-liter 7M-GE engine and a huge number of options.

Fifth Generation Chaser

In the next fifth generation, there is a tendency to increase the power of the top trim levels and a general tendency to increase comfort. Now, in the GT Twin Turbo configuration, the buyer received simply gigantic power for a class C sedan - the famous 1JZ engine developed 270 horsepower. The same engine was installed on. It is noteworthy that the figure of 270 horsepower is conditional, since, by agreement between the companies, it is impossible to meet a figure exceeding this value in the official specifications of cars of those years. In fact, for example, the current generation at that time also had 270 horsepower on the passport, although in reality, according to various tests, the average real figure for the power of a factory-fitted car is 330 horsepower.

Sixth generation Chaser

The sixth generation was the last for the Chaser model. In general, cars in the back of the X100 have not changed dramatically. The engines, whose diversity reached its apogee in the previous generation, remained almost the same, but they were made more economical through the use of a variable valve timing control system.

Noteworthy equipment Tourer V, which appeared in the fifth generation and passed into the sixth. Cars in this version were prepared for motorsport by the manufacturer: they were equipped with a special suspension with floating silent blocks of the lower arm, an extension that increases body rigidity, larger brakes, with a Torsen-type lock. Unlike the fifth generation Tourer V, in the sixth generation, cars in this configuration were equipped with a 1JZ-GTE engine with one large turbine instead of two smaller ones.

A large number of components are available for tuning the top 1JZ-GTE engine.

Toyota Chaser in motorsport

In Russia, the refinement of cars of this model for sports is as common as tuning the Nissan Skyline. It is generally accepted that the 1JZ-GTE engine has great potential for power enhancement. In Japan, modification of cars with this engine is carried out by a special division of Toyota - TRD. In other countries of the world, you can often find cars of this model, prepared for two types of motorsport: drifting already mentioned here, and for the so-called quarter, that is, single quarter-mile time trials.

A large number of components are available for tuning the top-end 1JZ-GTE engine. This is done by well-known suppliers of sports parts, such as HKS, Blitz, Apex`i and others.

In this generation, the main previous configurations were retained, a range of which starts from the XL and Raffine versions, moving up to the more expensive Avante to real sports versions with turbo engines Tourer S and Tourer V, where the latter is distinguished by an outstanding engine power of 280 hp. The Tourer V has different sizes front and rear wheels, xenon headlights, fog lights, rear spoiler, sports exhaust, automatic transmission gears with the ability to shift gears manually. Tourer S models have a 5-speed automatic transmission. A tuning modification called TRD SPORT, which is quite rare today, was also sold, which also contributed to the maintenance and development of the sporty image of this model. In the top trim levels of the Avante G, as always, Chaser offers the highest level of equipment with all the necessary attributes. expensive sedans premium.

V model range Toyota Chaser of the sixth generation used the previous line of engines: these have replaced more than one generation and have survived several upgrades of the “four”: gasoline 4S-FE with a capacity of 120 hp. and turbodiesel 2L-TE (97 hp). In-line petrol “sixes”, ideal for the Mark II / Chaser / Cresta family, are represented by engines of 2, 2.5 and 3 liters. In this generation, the 1JZ-GE and 2JZ-GE engines were the first to receive a variable valve timing system, and after restyling in 1998, the two-liter 1G-FE also acquired it, and its power was increased to 160 hp. At the same time, the manufacturer abandoned diesel engine. In the transmission, as before, the main priority was given to the "automatic", but for the most popular models, as an alternative, you could also choose the "mechanics", including the best representative of its class 1JZ-GTE with a capacity of 280 hp. Well, the permanent four-wheel drive provided not only for 2.5-liter versions, like the previous generation, but also in combination with a 2-liter engine, however, exclusively with automatic transmission.

There were no global changes in the design of the chassis, except for further modernization work. Front and rear - double wishbone suspension, characterized by high comfort. It is worth noting the still good handling and at the same time sufficient load capacity without compromising driving performance. As in previous generations, the Tourer V modification has an upgraded sports suspension with floating silent blocks of the upper arm, a lower stiffening strut, and enlarged brake calipers.

In terms of security, Chaser has reached a completely new level, inaccessible to previous generations. Even in basic configuration the car acquired nominally both front airbags, belts with force limiters, child seat mounts, ABS system (anti-lock system brakes). After restyling, the Brake Assist auxiliary braking system was added. Anti-slip system, side airbags have become options or standard in expensive trim levels, along with the VSC system.

Chaser in the 100th body is an excellent representative of mid-size sports sedans. Of the total supply on the market, a very small group is made up of models with engines standing at the extreme marks of the engine range - 1.8 and 3 liters. The real wealth of the range, offering maximum choice, falls on the popular versions with 2.5-liter power units, many of which are the most technically interesting modifications of the Tourer V.
