The Toyota Altezza RS200 is a rear-wheel-drive Japanese sports sedan powered by Toyota’s 1,998 cc 3S-GE BEAMS four-cylinder engine. Factory 6-speed manual and 5-speed automatic versions were offered, with different published power outputs. RS200, RS200 Z Edition and RS200 L Edition are genuine Toyota grades. Some years also included Limited and Limited II special editions.
Manual cars commonly attract more buyer interest, but used-car prices depend on build year, gearbox, condition, kilometres and auction history. The pricing cards below are indicative landed-and-complied examples, not guaranteed savings or quotes. This guide covers SXE10 RS200 with the 3S-GE only; it does not cover the AS200/GXE10.
Example landed and complied pricing on this page starts from about $10,300 AUD, with a recent auction-based median around $13,200 AUD (AUD 1 = JPY 105). Not a quote.

Toyota offered several genuine RS200 grades. Manual versus automatic is a transmission choice, not a separate grade.
| Factory grade / variant | What buyers should know |
|---|---|
| RS200 | Core 3S-GE sports sedan, available with factory 6MT or 5AT. |
| RS200 Z Edition | Sportier factory equipment, including 17-inch alloy wheels and front fog lamps in Toyota’s published descriptions; exact fitout depends on build year. |
| RS200 L Edition | More luxurious factory specification; Toyota describes leather/Excene upholstery and electrically adjustable front seating in applicable years. Equipment can vary by build month. |
| RS200 Limited / Limited II | Year-specific special editions, including navigation-package versions in some years. Grade name and equipment vary by the individual Japanese-market build. |
Factory 6MT versions and 5AT versions were both made by Toyota. A vehicle advertised as manual may have been converted after manufacture; the original factory gearbox is shown on the Japanese vehicle documentation.
