What Is the New Toyota Crown?

Do you love driving? What about new experiences? If this sounds like you, you’ll love the new Toyota Crown. What is the Toyota Crown? It’s a full-sized sedan that sits like an SUV. It’s a hybrid sedan with standard all-wheel drive. And it’s the start of a new revolution.

From the most advanced technology to the epitome of a great ride, once drivers experience the new Toyota Crown, they’ll never look at driving in quite the same way.

What Makes the Toyota Crown New?

People love SUVs for a lot of reasons. They haul more. They’re roomy inside and ride higher than sedans. Yet people also miss the comforts of a sedan. They ride differently. They are more aerodynamic and get better gas mileage.

The new Toyota Crown combines what people love in an SUV with the best of a luxury sedan. If you’ve been holding back from buying a new car because you were unsure which to look at, now is the time to try the Toyota Crown.

What Makes the Toyota Crown Unique?

When sedan drivers first drive an SUV, they fall in love with how high they sit. You can see more and feel a little more secure as the traffic buzzes by. The new Crown sits almost four inches taller than the Toyota Camry, a height difference you’ll notice from the moment you open the door. It gives you the advantage of having seats more in line with the hip-point, making climbing in and out a bit easier too.

Before you climb in, you’ll love its looks. The Toyota Crown has a sleek, aerodynamic shape with a sloping roofline that gives it a coupe look and feel. You can choose from one of three profiles: XLE, Limited, and Platinum. The Platinum comes in a two-tone color combination, where the hood, roof, and trunk are black, paired with Oxygen White, Bronze Age, Heavy Metal, or Supersonic Red. Whichever you choose, you’ll be sure to stand out from the crowd.

Driving the Toyota Crown

Looks are important, but they aren’t everything. You buy a car as much for the driving experience as you do for its looks. The new Toyota Crown doesn’t disappoint. Its higher profile gives you a more elevated ride than traditional sedans. That gives you a better view of everything happening around you.

Pulling away from a stop is easy with the standard hybrid powertrain. The electronic continuously variable transmission (eCVT) keeps the engine humming like a sports car, something you might have to get used to if you’ve never driven a hybrid before.

The Toyota Crown Platinum comes with the Hybrid Max powertrain that exchanges the eCVT for a 6-speed automatic transmission and the standard 2.5-liter engine for a 2.4-liter turbocharged engine. You’ll notice more power and increased thrust when pushing the accelerator. Toyota states a 0 to 60 mph in 5.7 seconds, unheard of in other hybrids.

Toyota Crown Features You’re Going to Love

People buy new cars for the looks, the drive, and the experience. The Toyota Crown has excess in all three. Just a few of the top features the new Crown has to offer include:

Technology

Advanced Park comes standard with the Limited model. Advanced Park is a self-parking function to help with parallel and perpendicular parking.

Choose a Remote Connect subscription, and you can operate your vehicle using an app on your smartphone or smartwatch. You can lock/unlock doors, share your keys with a family member or friend, and heat the cabin before your drive to work—all from the easy-to-use app.

Instead of bringing along plugs for charging, you’ll love the Crown’s tech-savvy charging station. Place your Qi-compatible device in the center console charging slot, and it will start charging.

Toyota’s Audio Multimedia System features Human Machine Interface (HMI). This innovative system uses a 12.3-inch touchscreen for sight, touch, and voice commands. Use it to navigate city streets, access multimedia functions, and connect to your smartphone to enjoy playlists, podcasts, and more.

Interior

We’ve already talked about the elevated cabin; people love sitting higher as they drive. But the interior experience offers so much more.

The power-adjustable driver’s seat allows you to create comfort using eight different adjustments. With a touch of a button, it will recall your favorite position.

Want more natural light? The Crown’s available fixed panoramic roof allows natural light to flow above the front and back seats.

If you’ve fallen in love with heated seats in your other cars, they come standard in the front seats and are available with the rear seats. For added comfort, you can also add a heated steering wheel for maximum comfort for all.

And if you’re the type who prefers ventilation more than heat, you can add ventilated front seats to your vehicle for year-round comfort.

Safety and Assist

One of the best reasons to invest in a new car is the advanced safety and assist features; the Toyota Crown doesn’t disappoint. The Toyota Crown comes standard with Toyota Safety Sense 3.0, the latest upgrade of Toyota’s award-winning safety system.

Just a few of the features include Standard Blind Spot Monitor (BSM) with Rear Cross-Traffic Alert (RCTA) helps you stay alert and ready for different driving conditions. If someone enters your blind spot, it’ll warn you. It detects vehicles approaching from all sides. Front and rear parking assist detects possible contact with an object or vehicle, sends audible and visual warnings, and automatically applies the brakes in certain circumstances.

Toyota Crown – There’s So Much to Love

While we’ve just scratched the surface of what the Toyota Crown brings, there’s so much more for you to explore.
It’s covered by Toyota’s 3-year, 36,000-mile warranty, which safeguards everything beyond normal wear and maintenance. The powertrain is protected for five years, unlimited mileage. The hybrid components are covered for eight years or 100,000 miles. The battery is covered for ten years or 150,000 miles.
