Launched in June 2018, the third-generation Century replaced the earlier V12 with a 5.0L V8 hybrid powertrain. Toyota offered one main sedan grade rather than a long ladder of trims. Buyers can compare individual cars by rear-seat equipment, interior finish, factory options, condition and mileage. Under the currently identified MRE-000327 and MRE-000376 compliance pathways, supported builds are January 2021 to February 2025, with an odometer reading strictly below 80,000km.
SEV-000900 lists January 2021 with no fixed end date; customer-facing supported window under the identified Model Reports is January 2021–February 2025, under 80,000km.
The auction examples below illustrate the spread of Century Hybrid prices. The $139,900 example has approximately 68,000km and falls below the odometer cap stated in the identified Model Reports, subject to the individual vehicle satisfying all other conditions. The $134,600 and $112,700 examples exceed that limit and are provided as ineligible auction-price references only.
Rear-wheel-drive Japanese-market Century 5.0L V8 hybrid sedan. One mainstream grade; compare options packages and kilometres rather than chasing a trim ladder that does not exist.

There is one mainstream Century Hybrid sedan grade. Its differences are in year, cabin finish and original equipment rather than different engine grades.
| Feature | Toyota-confirmed context |
|---|---|
| Chauffeur-focused rear cabin | Electric rear-seat comfort features and extensive rear-seat control equipment are central to the Century |
| Upholstery and cabin finish | Original Century trim choices include luxury seat materials and bespoke-looking interior finishes; individual cars differ |
| Rear-seat multimedia | Toyota describes an advanced rear-seat passenger environment; original Japanese-market media functions may differ from Australian consumer expectations |
| Active safety and comfort | Toyota Safety Sense, blind-spot monitoring, parking support and electronically controlled air suspension appear in Toyota’s model information |
| Tyres / factory spare | Toyota’s May 2021 equipment sheet lists a space-saving tyre repair kit as standard and a spare wheel as a manufacturer option |
For buyers seeking a chauffeur-style Century, prioritise the condition and configuration of the rear passenger seats, original infotainment and controls, upholstery finish, powered comfort features, and the presence of original documentation. Rather than inventing additional trims, compare these features on each prospective vehicle.
