Toyota Chaser: Sixth Generation.

In September 1996, Toyota introduced the X100 to replace the X90 Chaser . By this time, the Toyota Chaser had become a more sporty sedan; for many, it was the best-looking model and the definitive Chaser. The product line up included Tourers and Avantes, with the Tourer as the sporty model (with large 16-inch wheels) and the Avantes as the luxury model (with more interior accessories). Besides, the Toyota’s version of variable-valve timing, Toyota’s VVTi, was given to the 1JZ engines; they were also modernized to create more torque, as they had already hit the legal limit set by Japanese Government in terms of horsepower. A single turbo configuration was used to power the 1JZ-GTE, it was different from its predecessors as the predecessors used the twin turbo. This lineup also got the new Avante Four and the Avante Four G Package (basic package was the Avante 2.5L with a full-time 4-wheel-drive system). Transmission option for these cars was only 4-speed electronic control type (ECT) automatic transmission. The automatic-only Avante G 3.0L (2JZ) and the Tourer V models offered the option of electronic control flex lockup which attached 4-speed automatic (intelligent) (ECT-iE) transmission, whereas the ECT-E automatic was equipped for lower-end models.

In the year 1997, there was no big change for this lineup, although Toyota added a basic Tourer 2.0 L model to it. The Tourer used a 1G-FE engine, capable of 140PS (103kW; 138HP) at 5600 RPM. It was available with only one type of transmission, the 4-speed electronic control type (ECT) automatic transmission.

In the year 1998, Toyota gave the optional manual gearbox to the basic Tourer and a 4-wheel-drive option to the basic Avante models, while the Avante Four S Package had got a higher special-edition interior. In addition, Toyota also gave to the Chaser a facelift, with the most notable changes to the rear tail lights. Other updates consisted of a grille with 2 horizontal bars instead of 3, orange gauge lighting instead of white, a 3-spoke steering wheel instead of 4 spokes, different interior fabric and new fog lights with a slightly redesigned front bar to accommodate them.

In the year 2001, Toyota stop producing the Chaser. A new model called the Verossa was manufactured to replace the Chaser.
