The S150 of 1995 had boxier styling than the car before it and was built only as a sedan and a hardtop with frameless door glass, while the wagon kept the old S130 chassis until 1999. Japanese motoring journalists gave it their Car of the Year prize for 1996, an award it shared with the Crown Majesta, and in September 1996 the 1JZ-GE engine gained variable valve timing, raising output from 180 to 200 PS.
