The {{nihongo|'''Toyota Origin'''|Japanese: トヨタ・オリジン|Toyota Orijin}} is a limited edition [[mid-size car]] made by [[Toyota]] and sold in Japan between 2000 and 2001, having been launched in November 2000. It was planned that only 1,000 models would be built, but, in fact, 1,073 were produced.<ref name = "75 Years of Toyota, Toyota Motor East Japan, Inc."/> In Japan, it was sold at ''[[Toyota Store]]'', ''Toyopet Store'' and ''Corolla Store'' Japanese dealerships.

The Origin features a distinct [[Retro-style automobile|retro style]] body modeled from the [[Toyota Crown#RS|RS series Toyopet Crown]] and built using the same platform and [[Straight-six engine|inline-six]] engine as the [[Toyota Progrès|Progrès]]. The price was {{currency|7,000,000|JPY}}. The car was built by [[Kanto Auto Works]] in Higashi Fuji plant.<ref name = "kaw"/><ref name = "tradecarview"/>

The vehicle's design employed many features unusual on modern vehicles to make it reminiscent of the original Crown, including rear [[suicide doors]], a rearward-slanting [[Pillar (car)|C-pillar]] and jewel [[tail lamp]]s.<ref>{{cite web|title=Used Toyota Origin from Japan|url=http://www.01japanesecarexport.com/used-toyota-origin.php|publisher=01 Japanese Car Export|access-date=2012-03-16|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110828113040/http://www.01japanesecarexport.com/used-toyota-origin.php|archive-date=2011-08-28}}</ref>
