Original SPORT Z equipment includes Toyota Safety Sense, premium interior appointments, 21-inch alloys, connected navigation/display functions and Dynamic Rear Steering.
Depending on year and factory option choices, individual vehicles may have panoramic-view or advanced park assistance, roof/paint combinations, audio upgrades, two-tone finishes and selected driver-assistance technology.
Manufacturer options are not standard on every SPORT Z. Later SPORT G and anniversary cars have different original grade content.
Points that help when choosing between hybrid grades and build dates.
Hybrid Sport models use rear-wheel steering to tighten low-speed manoeuvring and improve high-speed stability – a Sport-specific handling feature versus Crown Crossover.
Z generally brings leather and more seat/steering comfort equipment as standard. Not every Z is identically optioned; equipment varies between individual cars.
AZSH36 is the self-charging hybrid (Toyota Japan: Sport Z family). If you want EV commuting range and AC/DC charging, that is AZSH37 Sport RS PHEV.

SPORT RS offers PHEV-specific features including Toyota’s high-output plug-in drive, AVS, E-Four traction, AC/DC charging and external power supply capability.
Original 2023 Toyota literature documents 1,500W AC 100V external supply and My Room Mode. These are Japanese-market features; local Australian charging and power-outlet compatibility should be verified rather than promised unchanged.
Factory paint, roof, cabin colour and advanced parking technologies vary by year and individual specification. Dealer-installed styling or retrofit charging accessories are not factory grades.
Model-specific points that affect ownership if you choose the plug-in RS.
RS PHEV uses AVS to vary damper force at each wheel. Toyota introduced it with the PHEV to keep the heavier plug-in chassis composed – a clear difference from the self-charging hybrid.
System output around 225kW and the strong front motor are most obvious with a charged battery. Without charging you carry extra mass for less benefit.
The RS inlet supports normal AC charging and DC rapid charging (Toyota quotes roughly 80% in about 38 minutes on rapid charge under their published conditions).
Standard external AC power supply (up to 1,500W) and Vehicle-to-Home capability via the rapid-charge inlet with a separate V2H device – useful for outdoor use or backup power.
In Japan, AZSH37 is sold as Crown Sport RS (plug-in hybrid) and AZSH36 as Crown Sport Z (self-charging hybrid). Use those names when comparing auction listings.
