2024/2025 Toyota Crown Platinum AWD | POV Test Drive Impressions & Review

[@Mike-cq7vv]

I'm glad we finally got a reviewer that explains vehicles the way they are, a lot of reviewers miss these fine points that you pick up. A lot of people miss the point of Toyota making a performance hybrid and they discount it because it doesn't get the same mileage as the lesser models. I test drove and considered the Lexus ES but I love this car so much more. The power and the all-wheel drive and the fuel efficiency was a win for me. I even think it rides a little bit better with the adaptive dampers.
