More emphasis on performance but in a conservative body. With post-bubble-economy cost savings, air suspension abandoned for Royal Saloon G in this generation, and Majesta shared this platform. Four-wheel drive added for the first time. Mid-term changes in 1997, with SRS side airbags added, and seven-inch screen inside. The 2·5 gained variable valve timing in 1998. Hardtop to 1999, sedan to 2001.
