When was the 12th generation Crown released?

[Tucker]

The 12th generation Crown was launched in 2005. The initial price and configuration list in January 2005 only included a 3.0L variant, with the 2.5 Royal version added in October that year. Here's relevant information about the Crown: 1. The early domestically produced Crown models were equipped with two V6 engines coded 5GR-FE (2.5L) and 3GR-FE (3.0L), with a later facelift introducing a 4.3L V8 engine coded 3UZ. 2. The Crown has consistently impressed Chinese consumers with its quietness, smoothness, and comfort - so comfortable that once seated, you wouldn't want to get up, making it a benchmark in automotive manufacturing. Much of this credit goes to the engine's exceptional smoothness. 3. The Crown represents a driver's consideration for passengers. For most Crown owners, the car isn't typically used for aggressive driving maneuvers.
