[@ledwinka]

This color is pretty attractive

[@terrymorris8617]

53 decibels is as loud as a quiet conversation or a quiet refrigerator ! That blows my mind. I've never been in a car that quiet. Drew you looked really comfortable. Great review !!

[@TheGamingAudiophile]

My Audi scored a 51 decibel rating but that’s to be expected since it’s a German luxury car.

[@HenryCalderonJr]

Rolls Royce scores an incredible 49! At 75 miles an hour ! 😮

[@CarConfections]

Thanks!

[@fcv1967]

It's about as quiet as a mouse getting a hardon.

[@Tully3674]

This, the highest trim, should have power tilt/telescopic steering and a power trunk. I'm thankful there is no CVT. It's a good package reasonably priced.

[@leandrobragasp]

Exactly

[@dothedishes3427]

Reasonable...well okay then.

[@hellkitty1014]

I agree, but they also want to protect Lexus somehow. But this costs what a loaded ES350 does, so Toyota should've thrown it in.

[@jerryclubb300]

Add a more premium sound system to your list of missing features.

[@kwaseb]

No head up display 😢

[@anthonyfranchino6132]

I recently purchased the bronze and black two tone Crown and it is a beautiful car with great handling. In my area these cars are selling as soon as they hit the lot and in some cases before they hit the dealership lot. We get many complements on the car and it being so new to the US market it gets a lot of attention when on the road.

[@thatguydylan314]

So many haters in the comments! I love this thing! Yes it's expensive, but if I wasn't broke I'd be at the Toyota dealership right now buying this thing, it's amazing

[@naveenthemachine]

No you wouldn’t 😂. The crown is expensive, overpriced, ugly, and the interior is horrible for a flagship Toyota

[@thatguydylan314]

if i wasnt broke.... id do so manythings lol. i agree tho i lvoe the styling

I’m starting to see these more and more on the road!

[@Thebusdriverandgamermorefan790]

Amazing video guys.

[@ousi00]

I drove the base model as a rental in Japan. Definitely interesting. I drove it back-to-back with an LS500 (also a rental) and noticed that it is only slightly nosier and slightly bumpier. The tech is much more modern than the LS, and the seats on both cars are pretty comfy as well.

[@scottmcdaniel8984]

Nice looking car . Cool color . Great video guys , thanks

[@user-fv5yo5fi5c]

Holy cow, how did I miss this one? What a stunning car. 340 HP too, man, that's sweet. Great review brothers, thanks.

Pure hp will never replace the smoothness of luxury.

[@srinivasp98]

Would you recommend a sedan cars on a snowy roads in state like minnesota?

[@tanekiagrant8479]

I love the Toyota crown

[@richardshaffer3874]

I loved the Avalon before the "designers" made it look like a laughing stock with the hyper-aggressive grilles. Same with Camry. I like the look of the upcoming 2025 Camry, however. Toned it way down. Finally.

[@macsterguy]

Extremely nice vehicle, and another awesome review!

[@jonszabo]

Always a big fan of your videos guys! Of course, my favorite things for every video, your opener, “what’s going on, KZbin!“, And now I can add donuts for the center console - awesome touch. But my new favorite now is when Drew does the slam dunk and the way his legs go up in the air! Ha ha ha I love it! Great work guys!

[@CarConfections]

Thank you!

[@SifLawdKethen]

Hello, did you like this or Hyundai Palisade driving experience better? Concerns for maintenance? Very different cars but am considering one or the other

[@darriontunstall3708]

It’s very nice and cool, I like it! It’s different!

[@Investor_philips]

I actually like the side profile of the vehicle

[@Doc1855]

WOW ! I LOVE the color !

[@handofkindness]

Conclusion it's a good looking smart and reliable sedan or in UK we call it a saloon car especially the crown platinum hybrid max a lot of people like it as I do very much so.

[@Sabundy]

good lord....that colour is just magnificent.

[@RyanDoonan]

Very nice Toyota that is one thing they do amazing with the Toyota and Lexus branding it is almost the same size as an Avalon with the trunk space

[@jahy6361]

Thx from Poland

[@garykupitz1414]

56k for a "premium" car with a Camry interior? Despite the apparent interior updates for 2024, the interior is still not befitting of a flagship vehicle.

[@hellkitty1014]

The price is someblwhat dear(about $15K more than a loaded Camry XSE V6) for a mainstream brand and considering that cars are a hard-sell right now, it is rather ambitious. That said, considering what Lexus is putting out right now in interiors, this seems to actually out-Lexus some Lexus vehicles(looking at you nee RX/TX). And at least they gave it the power that is requisite with the lofty price.

[@wongchai807]

😮😂 I like the interior. Its buying a lexus without the price

[@jonszabo]

I’ve been surprised at cars I thought weren’t so nice and luxurious in videos and pics ended up really impressive in person. I’m going to check a Crown out soon to find out.

[@brandonyen7837]

I’ll go with the new Camry 2025😂

[@MiroBG359]

56K because that battery/ev junk isn't cheap

[@jphourcheu]

Missing a lift back is such a big missing opportunity. I love sedans but I do love a lift back even more when cars are this long.

[@JimmyHuynhdesign]

I thought the same thing.

[@JWFas]

The Crown Signia will be the crossover version.

[@jphourcheu]

@@JWFas late reply but I love the crown “sport” proportion more. Still like hatch sport sedan but would love upgrade to crown sport from my current Camry 2019

The back profile of the car reminds me of the Audi A7, also a beautiful car.

[@TakinDrasticMeasurez]

I can’t fathom paying mid 50s for a Toyota that’s almost as much as the price of a fully loaded Lexus ES350.

Very nice toyota quality. Any remarks as compared to Genesis 70 sedan

[@Aschoolbusandsimulatorfan2219]

Yes of course & I'm planning on buying one.

[@BOT-dv9lz]

How long time does it take to come to the top of the combustion engines torque curve and the max horsepower ? Love the car 🤩

Not too long, the Electric Motors help reduce Turbo Lag

[@ticolindo2010]

Wow, I love this Crown is great. Powerful and the exterior design is awesome Looks better than the Camry. Love Drew.

[@tomdrummy4984]

It would look good without the black two tone paint…….same with bizzy 4x

[@DaniTheNachoPirate]

23:18 it's priced accordingly sure, but I'll take this over an Accord for sure.

This will be the 2025 Lexus es 350 can’t wait 🔥

[@johndicianni8229]

Crown or ES300h?

[@joshgraziosi8159]

Expected much more from the interior.

[@TelpPov]

looks, drives and feels like a Toyota, nothing else. At least it's not trying to imitate anyone.

[@HenryCalderonJr]

It reminds me when Cressida was the top line and luxurious compared to the Camry. Cressida was our version of this crown that we did not have in the USA

[@burningknuckle26]

Oh yeah

im torn either getting this or the new honda accord

[@catdogmouse555]

Its really nice but too expensive for a Toyota, I don't see them selling too many of these.

[@7thheaventruth]

It’s got the same center glove compartment as my 2019 Lexus ES 350 almost matching dash screen as my 2019 Lexus ES 350.WOW and that a new car 😂 lol

[@markovwms]

7:15 love the wording 😂

[@TryingToBeKind]

Nice review guys, thanks! Hated the look of this when it came out, but it’s growing on me. However…. No color but black for the interior on the Platinum, and no HUD? I could live without the HUD (although I shouldn’t have to at this price - I have one on my ‘21 46K Mazda CX-9 Signature), but will never buy another car with a boring black interior. I want something pretty, with contrast!

[@Doc1855]

It’s a Gorgeous car ! But too expensive

[@burningknuckle26]

Not for us that have the money 😂

[@Doc1855]

@@burningknuckle26 We could afford it, but we’d rather invest our money in something that appreciates and not depreciates. I’ve Always been frugal. I suppose that’s why we own 2 apartment complexes and 8 homes in San Diego, San Louis Obispo , Santa Barbara, Seattle. Sadly our beach front house burned down in the Lahaina fire.

Drove one and it left a lot to be desired. Gonna try the new Sonata once the 2024 hybrid comes out here.

Can you use heated and ventilated sits simultaneously?

No

[@demetriustatum672]

I like this car but when I found out it has a sunroof that doesn’t open that was the deal breaker for me all that money for a glass top I don’t think so gonna check out the grand highlander

[@ELP1125]

Really sexy car, but that price tag isn't.

[@thisisnotreallife20]

Love the two tone copper, but front is pretty plain looking, and backend looks cheap/ugly. Side profile is great though.

[@09BRX]

Good looking overall but i cant get over the boring steering wheel toyota has, they need to update that asap

[@raphaelszok8561]

Naming it Crown when they should named it Avalon. I miss my Avalon be doing 100mph on the freeway and it didn't feel going that speed.

[@GodsloveMuzik]

It wouldn’t have sold

[@nateisright]

A rose by any other name. . .

[@willcookmakeup]

I really wish they had incorporated the crown logo more.

[@baoanprounited]

56k? Im getting the ES350 Ultra Lux for the same money, plus much better ride quality and noise isolation cabin

[@onterrioredmon5711]

And the sunroof opens on the Lexus

[@Ramnugg]

But no AWD

[@baoanprounited]

@Ramnugg yea i dont care bout that, but some people will 🤷‍♂️

[@bitbat9]

The crown looks much better in one color. The two tone look is not great

[@Izaya_Orihara]

No power lift gate on plat trim???

[@hassansuboh1891]

The back looks like they forgot to finish design and affects the side profile. The interior does not look premium at all. I feel like lot of missed opportunity with this.

[@pttthhh]

I personally don't like car interiors that "look" premium. I love this interior. It's extremely simple yet classy without being try-hard and shiny like it's supposed to be in a douchey yacht.

[@hellkitty1014]

For years, I critiqued Toyota for its too cautious approach to its cars. That changed with the Camry XSE/TRD and the now departed Avalon TRD. Now we have this Crown that is completely unorthodox to what we assume about the sensible Toyota brand. Somehow, they've merged their hybridized mission with emotional excitement for its over mainstream mission. It is efficient, has decent performance, doesn't look like any other vehicle on the road right now, and practical. I do believe the price of the loaded Platinum models is maybe $5-7K too rich, considering this certainly encroaches on loaded ES350 territory and even entry E350/540i/A6 class.(and those have favorable lease rates to boot). But I applaud Toyota for trying to make the sedan-class remain relevant, while trying to wash away the "old-person" image of the Avalon.

[@j00bs]

kinda looks like a 2024 sonata with a butterface

[@shawnlmoran8975]

No head up display !????? Why Toyota !!!!!

[@naveenthemachine]

The Avalon and Camry offer a hud 😂

[@PHILLIPS8822]

Toyota can't even sell these cars. My local Toyota dealership has 13 of these on the lot.

Maybe you can get one at invoice

[@mukshifabbas8041]

Does it is use premium gas ?

[@hoatanky3926]

this one or C300?

[@m4nc1n1]

No hood shocks is bs on a 55k car

[@DrMike911]

I've been researching the Crown at great length, but for a car that will cost you 60k to drive off the lot with (destination charges and taxes), it really needs a HUD, a more luxury interior, power trunk and a premium sound system (the 11 speaker JBL is a HUGE let-down, sound-wise). This feels like a well-to-do AWD Camry with a higher stance and a bigger engine. You can get a loaded Ultra-Luxury Lexus ES350 for this same money. I'm very torn.

[@onterrioredmon5711]

I like the crown but I wouldn’t buy it because the sunroof doesn’t open and that’s a zonk for me

[@gregkramer5588]

It is an interesting car for sure. I do not think it will sell well. Not very attractive and a niche area of the market. That said the step up cars like an Audi A6 will run 10-15k more.

[@1onsight852]

7:12 🤦🏿‍♂️🤣😂

[@killmenow3181]

7:11 😂

[@mrt3206]

I would say given the price point they are sitting in Mid Size SUV territory 😅 If you want something that does even better in snow you might as well spend that 50-60,000 on a 4Runner, GMC Acadia/Terrian, or literally any other AWD/4WD vehicle that has even better ground clearance and exponentially more interior room🤷‍♂️ And having massive rims like this is a negative to every car, impacts ride performance and the noise, imagine if it had 17” or 18” rims and filled that wheel-well with actual Tread. Low Pro Tires are absolutely horrendous in places snow actually sticks to the ground👌😅

[@gregkramer5588]

I was thinking a Palisade Calligraphy for this price.

[@gertstolk]

Love it, but 21" is too much 😮

[@HenryCalderonJr]

I think they will suffer from easy flats if you don’t have good pavement. And I prefer a little more wall on my tires.

[@jerryclubb300]

When you exceed 19 inches handling improves very little, but ride quality declines big time.

[@nateisright]

You guys look tiny in that thing! The Crown is cool but it reminds me of that movie where Martin Short gets stung by a bee and the allergic reaction turns a little guy into a supersized, puffy version of a little guy.

[@XmotoCars]

For Electric cars Toyota have been a bit slow to the market...!! Wow... so polite of an enormous understatement.😆😍

[@DisneyMusicVideos]

It's unique in a good way in my eyes, but it's a vehicle nobody asked for. It's also the only mainstream large sedan currently for sale.

[@erickonassis6310]

What is that color

[@CarConfections]

Copper

[@Lamski3]

Who is going to buy this? What is the target market for this car? It's like they mixed together the Avalon and Venza but nobody looking for an Avalon would buy this nor anyone looking at the Venza would want this.

[@erictate5985]

Well call me a fool because i like the crown sedan and im sorry they cancelled your old ass avalon😢

[@319hmh]

55 k for plastic cladding. Big NO.

[@CCANGEL333]

Another reviewer on his page felt the interior insulation or sound level was less in the all new Camry compared to the Crown. With your sound test, it would be interesting to see your results of the Camry.

[@nateisright]

I’m probably the target demographic for this but I won’t consider it because it should have a liftback.

[@emmanuelleonard8758]

I love the new Camy (and I own the 2023 one) but I dislike this "Crown". Especially its design, wheels and... price

[@romeolopez757]

As flagship vehicle i find the interior some dull moments not so impressive!…
