Popular Toyota Models We Import

We source a wide range of Toyota vehicles from Japan, covering everything from premium hybrid people movers to elegant executive sedans. Below are some of the most popular Toyota models our clients import. Don’t see yours? Get in Touch Today!

Alphard

The Toyota Alphard Hybrid is the pinnacle of Japanese luxury people movers. With its commanding presence, whisper-quiet hybrid drivetrain, and first-class cabin, the Alphard 30 and 40 Series are among the most popular imports for families who refuse to compromise on comfort. Executive seating, power sliding doors, and advanced safety tech make this one of the most sought-after vehicles coming out of Japan.

Corolla

The Toyota Corolla Touring Hybrid combines practicality with excellent fuel economy in a sleek wagon body. Built for the Japanese domestic market with hybrid efficiency and generous boot space, it’s a versatile daily driver that’s hard to find locally. Sharp styling, Toyota Safety Sense, and low running costs make it a smart choice for buyers wanting something refined and dependable.

Crown GRS214

The Toyota Crown GRS214 is a full-sized executive sedan built exclusively for the Japanese market, powered by a naturally aspirated V6. It delivers a classic premium driving experience with rear-wheel drive, plush interior appointments, and a bold upright presence. Rarely seen on Australian roads, the Crown GRS214 is a genuine head-turner for those who want something sophisticated and distinctly JDM.

Crown Hybrid

The Toyota Crown Hybrid AZSH20 represents a more modern take on the iconic Crown nameplate, pairing a 2.5-litre hybrid powertrain with a low-slung, sporty silhouette. With its twin-motor hybrid system, near-electric take-off, and luxurious cabin, the AZSH20 sits at the intersection of performance and refinement. It’s a unique import that offers genuine premium character without the European price tag.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I originally set out to import an R34 Skyline, but after struggling to find one that both JDM Connect and I were happy with, we shifted focus to an R32—We found a 1989 R32 type M from Japan. What I didn’t expect was how complex the import process could become, especially with the added challenges around older vehicles. Even though it’s a late ‘80s car, there are still strict requirements, including asbestos compliance and testing, which can quickly turn into a stressful process if you’re not prepared.

Both JDM Connect and I had to navigate the realities of importing an older vehicle, including the asbestos regulations and testing requirements, but they kept me informed every step of the way and handled the process professionally. Their knowledge of the system and persistence in pushing things forward really stood out. I’d definitely recommend JDM Connect to anyone looking to import a car—they understand the challenges involved and know what it takes to get everything completed properly.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had been browsing Japanese car sales sites for a clean, low-kilometre WRX, but was hesitant to pull the trigger because I didn’t know how to navigate the import process myself. After doing some research, I reached out to JDM Connect in Perth due to their positive reputation, and I am so glad I did. Upon making contact, Jate immediately initiated the vehicle search process and provided all the information I requested to help me decide on the right car.
I was initially very nervous about who I could trust with such a significant purchase, but Ben was outstanding to deal with from start to finish. His exceptional professionalism and clear communication put me at ease.
Ben is a fantastic communicator—he kept me updated on my vehicle’s progress every step of the way and was always happy to answer any questions I had. Regardless of the query, I received a response very quickly every single time. Most importantly, the import process and all associated fees were completely transparent, with no hidden surprises.
If you are looking to import a car from Japan, I would highly recommend JDM Connect. They made what could have been a stressful experience completely seamless and worry free. Thanks guys, I am so happy with the car; it's exactly what I was hoping for.

He was super helpful online explaining how everything works and made sorting the car out really easy. The Crown drives great, stable, reliable, exactly what I was after. Really happy with both the car and the support!
