1990 Toyota Cressida Reviews, Pricing & Specs
Write a review
The Cressida, Toyota’s mid-sized luxury sedan, was redesigned the year before, and therefore did not see many changes for the 1990 model year.
The 1990 Toyota Cressida only came in one trim level. The engine was a 3.0-liter, 190 horsepower V6, and the Cressida was only available with a four-speed automatic transmission. Fuel economy was about 19/24 mpg.
The 1990 Cressida was very popular as a luxury vehicle in its day, and are still beloved today. Drivers like them because they can get a car for very little money that still has luxury features, like a moon roof and leather seating. They also like the powerful engine and the quiet ride. Some drivers complain that the car is prone to rust problems.

This is a 1990 Cressida Grande. It is in completely original condition and is fully loaded. As standard it has power windows, electric mirrors, electric sunroof, power adjust driver seat, tilt column steering, cruise control, climate control, six speaker stereo with in dash CD and tape player, climate control and the list goes on.......
It runs a 3 litre in line six cylinder with double over head cam and fuel injection. Transmission is a 4 speed auto with overdrive and ECTS and backed up by a limited slip diff in the rear.
Outside the car has been to refered to as a Grampa car but its style grows on you and its paint job is still as shiny as the day it rolled of the assembly line.
Overall i love this car. On the open road it has the power to compete with V8s and at the traffic lights its accelaration will make your head snap back against the seat.May 23, 2008

This car has the same drive train as the Toyota Supra sports car, 3.0L DOHC 24 valve inline six, although not available with the turbo or the manual transmission in the US (Older models with the 5MGE engine were available 5 speed in the US). It's not as fast as I thought it would be, but it gets up and goes pretty well, and handles well for a car it's size.May 10, 2008
