The Chaser was never sold new in Europe or the United States. Two generations set today's prices: the twin-turbo JZX90, built 1992 to 1996, and the JZX100 with a single turbo and VVT-i, which moved peak torque down to 2,400 rpm and killed the lag. The rest of the range, from the naturally aspirated 1G-FE to the 2L-TE turbodiesel, are ordinary saloons nobody chases at auction.
JZX100 and GX100, 1996 to 2001
The last generation and the most common one: 252 of the 311 published Chasers in our catalogue (probed 2026-09-08). The Tourer V runs the 1JZ-GTE with a single CT15B turbo and VVT-i, 280 PS and 378 Nm from 2,400 rpm. GX100 cars use the naturally aspirated 1,988 cc 1G-FE, a different price bracket altogether.
JZX90, 1992 to 1996
This is where the range split into the sporting Tourer and the luxury Avante. The Tourer V got the 1JZ-GTE with twin CT12A turbos, 363 Nm at 4,800 rpm, the R154 manual and a Torsen differential. A rawer, cheaper route to the same formula: 28 entries in our Chaser catalogue (probed 2026-09-08).
X80 and X81, 1988 to 1992
The 1JZ family arrived in August 1990, along with the first independent multi-link rear suspension. 23 entries in the catalogue (probed 2026-09-08), model years 1988 to 1991.
Earlier generations, 1977 to 1988
They surface one at a time: 4 X70 entries from 1985 to 1987 (probed 2026-09-08), plus the odd one that is older still or has no type code. The first generation was the only one offered as a two-door coupé, and in October 1985 the X70 received the twin-turbo 1G-GTEU rated at 185 PS, then the most powerful engine on the Japanese market.
