==={{anchor|UZZ31}}UZZ31 Soarer "Limited"=== [[File:1992 Toyota Soarer (UZZ31) 4.0GT-L coupe (2015-06-18) 01.jpg|thumb|UZZ31 Toyota Soarer (Australia)]] The UZZ31 and UZZ32 Soarers were the luxury GT versions of the range, with more features and equipment than the UZZ30 and the 6-cylinder models, and even the U.S market Lexus SC300/400. The ''EMV'' ([[Electro Multi Vision]]) [[touchscreen]] system which was pioneered in the Z10 and Z20 Soarers was again available and provided a screen with television, GPS navigation, diagnostics, car computer, reversing camera and touch control of all functions of the climate control and audio system. The latter was highly sophisticated, with balanced-signal digital signal processing, 12-disc CD stacker and 7 speakers with subwoofer. All three V8 models were powered by Toyota's acclaimed [[Toyota UZ engine|1UZ-FE]] quad-cam all-alloy 4-litre V8. While rated at marginally less power and torque than the turbocharged JZZ30 counterpart ({{convert|191|kW|PS hp|0|abbr=on}} at 5,400 rpm, {{convert|353|Nm|lb·ft|abbr=on}} at 4,600 rpm) the V8, called the 4.0GT-L was renowned for its smoothness and refinement. Although receiving a minor update in 1995 which improved responsiveness and bumped outputs to {{convert|195|kW|PS hp|0|abbr=on}} {{convert|363|Nm|lb·ft|abbr=on}}, production of the V8-equipped Soarers ended before the powerplant received VVTi which substantially increased outputs in the Lexus SC400 and other models. The UZZ31 featured a driver-adjustable [[air suspension]] system that had two settings for both ride height and damper stiffness. The high-pressure air was provided by an electric pump mounted at the front of the car. Also featured on the UZZ31 series were a host of electronic features including automatic headlights (shared also with the UZZ30), speed-sensitive wipers, electric-controlled 2-position memory seats with heated feature as an additional factory option, electronically adjustable steering column with memory, optional [[reversing camera]], cabin air purifying system (also shared with the JZZ31 from 1994), touch screen TV with 12-stack CD player, touch screen [[SatNav]], and a full onboard computer diagnostic system which would output to the TV display unit. Like the JZZ30, the UZZ31 came with optional sunroof and rear wiper. Additionally, the UZZ31 could be "special ordered" from Toyota Japan without the EMV, instead being fitted with the radio/CD unit of the UZZ30 with separate climate control. Additionally, electric velour seats from the UZZ30 and JZZ30 models could be special ordered in place of the standard UZZ31 / UZZ32 leather electric seats.<ref>[http://soarerrestorer.wix.com/soarerrestorers#!faq/c1npp Toyota Soarer FAQ]</ref> These special-order cars would take only a week to produce from the time of the order to completed product. It is not known how many non-EMV UZZ31s were made, although they were offered from the very start of production in 1991. These non-EMV UZZ31 Soarers are uncommon, with only the UZZ32 more rare.
