The Toyota Aristo V300 is the performance flagship of the second-generation Aristo range, powered by the twin-turbo 2JZ-GTE.
Factory V300 models were automatic only. Aftermarket manual conversions, commonly using the Toyota R154 gearbox, are available but uncommon.
Aristos aged 25 years or older may qualify under the age-based import pathway, including naturally aspirated 2JZ-GE variants. That pathway is separate from the SEV-000644 V300 approval on this page.
Example landed and complied pricing on this page starts from about $15,900 AUD, with a recent auction-based median around $21,900 AUD (AUD 1 = JPY 105). Not a quote.

| Toyota grade | Factory features / distinction |
|---|---|
| V300 | The standard JZS161 twin-turbo model, factory 4AT and rear-wheel drive. Toyota offered alloy wheels and a substantial safety specification, with selected luxury features depending on year and options. |
| V300 Vertex Edition | Same 2JZ-GTE and 4AT, with distinctive Vertex wheels, rear spoiler and black-themed interior. Later catalogues describe 17-inch wheels and available black leather; leather is not standard on every example. |
Factory navigation, audio, leather upholstery and other luxury equipment vary between years and individual cars. S300 / S300 Vertex use JZS160 and are not V300 grades.
