==={{anchor|UZZ32}}UZZ32 Soarer "Limited"=== The UZZ32 was the top-of-the-line 30 series, featuring all of the options available on the UZZ31 with the addition of the computer-controlled [[Toyota Active Control Suspension]] with [[Steering#Four-wheel_steering|four-wheel steering]]. The UZZ32 had no conventional suspension springs or anti-roll (stabiliser) bars, instead utilising self-levelling, fully [[hydropneumatic]] struts controlled by an array of [[sensor]]s (such as axis [[accelerometers]], suspension height, [[wheel speed sensor|wheel speed]] and steering angle) that detected cornering, acceleration and braking forces. The system worked well and gave an unusually controlled yet smooth ride with no body roll.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MyXiS76Slm0 |title=Toyota Soarer UZZ32 |date=2014-11-02 |website=Youtube |publisher=UZZ32 |access-date=2015-01-18}}</ref> However, the additional {{convert|110|kg|lb|abbr=on|0}} weight of hydraulic componentry and power requirements of the system affected performance and reduced fuel economy compared to the standard UZZ30 and UZZ31 models.

As a result, only 873 UZZ32s were made and are typically the most sought-after model in right-hand drive markets such as the Japan, UK, Australia and New Zealand.
