The all-alloy 1UZ-FE debuted in 1989 in the first generation Lexus LS400/Toyota Celsior with an output of 191 kW (256 hp) and torque of 353 N·m (260 ft·lbf). The engine was progressively released in a number of other models across the Toyota/Lexus range and proved to be a strong, reliable and smooth powerplant with features such as 6-bolt main bearings and belt-driven quad-camshafts.

Initially running 10:1 compression, the engine was slightly revised in 1995 with lighter conrods and pistons and an increased compression ratio to 10.4:1 resulting in peak power of 195kw and torque of 363nm.
