Overview

The Toyota Crown bridges the gap between traditional sedan and crossover, offering standard AWD, an elevated driving position, and premium materials.

Driving Experience

The 340-hp HYBRID MAX setup provides strong off-the-line acceleration and smooth high-speed passing power while retaining a quiet, supple ride.

Fuel Economy & Efficiency

Base 2.5L hybrid trims achieve up to 41 MPG combined, while the performance Platinum trim returns an impressive 30 MPG combined.

  • Standard Electronic All-Wheel Drive across all trims
  • Exceptionally quiet and plush cabin ride quality
