A 2.2 liter diesel engine was added to the Crown line in October 1977. The oil crises of the decade had pushed the Japanese government to tax larger engines heavily, which made it harder to price the Crown for its home market. It was model year 4 of 5 in the Toyota Crown (fifth generation, S80 to S100), 1974 to 1978, coming after the 1976 model year and before the 1978 model year. Model year pages for the Toyota Crown run from 1955 to 2026.
