  • Z10 (1981-1985): This was the first generation, known for its technological advancements and luxury features.
  • Z20 (1986-1991): The second generation was more aerodynamically styled.
  • Z30 (1991-2000): The third generation is highly regarded for its advanced features and elegant design. It's sometimes called the "Lexus SC" because it was sold as the Lexus SC300/SC400 in export markets.
  • Z40 (2001-2005): The fourth generation was essentially a Japanese market version of the Lexus SC430.
• Engine Options: The Soarer was available with a range of engines, including:

  • V8 engines (e.g., 1UZ-FE)
• Features: The Soarer was known for its advanced technology, often introducing features before they were common on other cars, such as:
  • Digital instrument clusters
  • Electronically controlled suspension (TEMS)
  • Cruise control
  • Automatic climate control
• Market Availability: It was primarily sold in Japan, although the Z30 generation was exported to North America, Europe, and Oceania as the Lexus SC300/SC400.
• Successor: The Toyota Soarer was effectively replaced by the Lexus SC430 globally, with the Z40 generation being a rebadged version of the Lexus for the Japanese market.
