Toyota’s JZX110 iR-V is the turbocharged performance model of the late Mark II range. The 2.5L 1JZ-GTE produces 206kW (280PS) and 378Nm, driving the rear wheels. The sedan was available as a factory 4-speed automatic or a genuine factory 5-speed manual. The Mark II Blit estate was sold as a 2.5 iR-V turbo 4AT. The visually similar Blit 2.5 iR-S is naturally aspirated and is not included in the turbo-only SEVS approval.
Modified manual-conversion cars exist. Compare the Toyota build information and auction sheet before paying a factory-manual premium. A genuine factory manual iR-V sedan should be distinguished from a converted automatic or a separate iR-S grade.
1JZ-GTE turbo Mark II IR-V, including closely related turbo packs such as IR-S. Covers sedan and wagon variants on the 1JZ-GTE path.
Eligibility is for the factory turbo variant; naturally aspirated Grande and iR-S are not part of this approval.

This guide covers the turbo 1JZ-GTE iR-V sedan and turbo iR-V Blit wagon. Naturally aspirated variants, including iR-S, have different specifications.
| Toyota factory model / specification | Engine and transmission | Buyer distinction |
|---|---|---|
| Mark II sedan iR-V 4AT | JZX110, 1JZ-GTE turbo, factory 4AT | Common original turbo automatic. |
| Mark II sedan iR-V 5MT | JZX110, 1JZ-GTE turbo, factory 5MT | Genuine rare factory manual, not necessarily a transmission swap. |
| Mark II Blit 2.5 iR-V 4AT | JZX110W, 1JZ-GTE turbo, factory 4AT | Genuine five-door turbo estate, distinct body and report coverage. |
| Equipment / option | What buyers should know |
|---|---|
| Exterior & chassis | Alloy wheels, HID headlamps, rear spoiler and factory aerodynamic styling, sport-type suspension; optional limited-slip differential where listed |
| Cabin & convenience | Dual-zone climate control and original navigation/audio. Factory leather, sunroof and traction/safety options vary by build specification |
| Blit estate | Practical rear luggage arrangements and different rear bodywork — not a sedan conversion |
| Not factory grades | Avoid labelling R154 swaps, large wheels or aftermarket turbos as factory grades |
Auction titles vary. The engine and turbo hardware identify the car more reliably than badge wording alone.
Many of these cars show Japanese repair notes in their sale history.
