[@RolfFritz-fo2um]

I just bought one last week! The Platinum - white in color. Love it! - despite its higher price point. I feel like I get the best of both worlds - a lot of luxury components and a "sporty" feel to it.

[@55stevieray]

Really like the styling, looks like nothing else out there.

[@shyshotcaller27]

That's the key. All of the cars nowadays look the same. No identity whatsoever.

[@gleanerman2195]

Looks a little like the Maxima to mee.

[@sas9023055]

For this price-point, especially with the smaller motor, there really is no other car that can be compared to the Crown Sedan. Some people actually still want a Sedan with a separated TRUNK. They also are willing to pay extra for a few more creature comforts, a quieter ride, AWD, great gas mileage, while in a platform that sits higher than a regular sedan. They also do not want to pay Lexus prices! This interviewer appears short sighted and obviously doesn't understand why some people might actually like what Toyota is delivering with the Crown Sedan, and that is why he comes across a little too negative.

[@pgalt4033]

The engine options are 2.5l and 2.4l turbo hybrids… the base model engine is NOT smaller as you kept saying, and the “CVT” is actually what Toyota calls eCVT and has absolutely nothing in common with more conventional CVT transmissions. It’s also a lot smoother on the road than the conventional transmission in the Platinum model. A tiny bit of research goes a long way

[@Jeff-pq3zj]

I stand corrected. Thank you. I thought mine came with the 2.4 four-cylinder but it actually has the 2.5. I checked the build sheet and that confirmed it.

[@JerryGonzales-d8e]

We bought the new 2024 Crown Limited and are happy we did. a little pricey but we are seniors and I have 100% VA disability as an Army Retiree but driving this Sedan Hybrid is a pleasure. Believe it or not, we had a 2020 Mustang that we traded in for this one. I struggled to get in and out of that car. The fuel economy is great at 40 miles to the gallon. There are so many Teck improvements, most having a button for each that's easy to adjust. I love the cruise control, stay in lane, and car lengths behind the car ahead! It almost drives itself. Adding the Toyota Control to our phones was high tech but we finally got both of ours on it. The ride is smooth, but we have yet to drive long distance. It's our first time to have a Hybrid and it's exciting to see the extra power and economical savings! Enjoy!

[@sophaman9193]

Love the physical buttons!!

Despite the price, I love it.

[@burningknuckle26]

So nice and looks great. Interior is solid. And the features are amazing 😮

[@user9518-bp3qs]

right? why does everyone say it’s ugly, i’ve seen them in person and it has a lot of road presence

[@m4nc1n1]

CVT's are fine. I never had an issue and had a few. I actually had to get used to the clunk of a traditional Tranny when I traded in my 2022 Avalon Hybrid on my 2024 Crown Hybrid Max. The CVT on the Avalon was smooth. Don't get me wrong I love the power of the 6 speed, it just caught me off guard. Have not had a reg Tranny in over 10 years (Toyota, VW, Nissan)

[@ReallyGotMotion]

Damn it looks sick

[@luismessimer1]

Need better materials in the interior. Outside is beautiful

[@billyrock8305]

Gorgeous stunning styling!!! 😮

[@birdman9860]

Saw one of these the other day- high school US student!

[@kerryjones1508]

Great looking car. A bit different from the run of the mill SUV’s. Great review too.

[@copefrazier]

did a test drive last week - the interior does not have much sound deadening which really means you can’t call it a luxury car with all that noise. Dash and infotainment was nice, but your probably better off with a prius with much better mileage

[@djplonghead5403]

The new Prius lacks interior room. It might also be too low if you have back problems.

[@BuStAzBuStAz]

forgot to add how smooth you can cruise going 120mph

[@MegaRetr]

Beautiful Crown what a car

[@Jeff-pq3zj]

I just bought a 2024 Crown with the small 2.4 liter 4 cyl. I am real happy with it. Good ride and since it has the small 4 cylinder, I get excellent fuel milage . Still getting used to the buttons and how they work, but that will come. It gets lots of looks and nice compliments. It is the XLE model, so I've added a window tint, dash cams, and a daily dusting, ( its gray with black interior). It is to new to give an accurate mpg, but 40+ sounds about right. I also got a good price for it. The extra perks that you can add to it (platinum model ) is why they are more expensive.

[@purplehd1142]

How much was it pre tax?

[@Jeff-pq3zj]

I’m still recuperating from sticker shock over the sales tax .Washington state gouges the Dickens out of here. I wouldn’t recommend it to anybody.

[@Jeff-pq3zj]

@@purplehd1142 here in Washington state the gouge rate is 6.5% on all vehicles. I’m unable to make out the pretax. The wording on the contract does not describe a pretax. So far as I can tell.

[@davidcleveland5]

It looks really nice ❤

[@lawrenceandrews2625]

I love the front, but wish they did something else for the rear.

[@gleanerman2195]

I'm the opposite.

[@lizechard]

lmaoo wtf is wrong with ppl. Toyota crown is beautiful!😍😍😍😍

[@commietube4273]

I like your delivery style.

[@ralphschreckengost6865]

One thing I will say about the crown is the front grill. It looks better than the 2024 Camry and so much better than the 2025 Camry that looks like an old cheese grater I like the higher ride height don't like the two-tone paint or the moonroof and would like to see it in a solid white color

[@johngood3163]

Nice, fair review

[@DanielSpenillo]

So my question is, is that?Should I buy a camry or should I buy a crown for my first legit car? Is anybody have any good advice On what should I do.

[@tylerxanderson]

Personally, for a first car i would go with the camry. only because it’s a lot smaller than the crown. the crown is a pretty bulky vehicle and if you like that, more than a closer to the ground seating, i’d go with the crown.

[@gomerhanger2285]

that car is crazy af.

[@With1Your1Self]

I am 6.2, I need this car now

[@beardrn]

When eyeing it from the view of your thumbnail, it looks almost like a KIA Optima EX.

[@Bidness156]

Mother in law bought one of these and it’s very nice. Don’t see any other in her area and she lives in a city w 4 million people

[@user9518-bp3qs]

Yea they are really nice, i live in texas and ive only seen like 10 of them so far

[@ValoCaraveo]

You had me at TOYOTA!❤

[@ValoCaraveo]

I love physical touch buttons.

[@MoeCamera]

57k and couldn’t even give you hydraulic hood struts and head up display 😂

[@goldpilgrim]

It has regular e-CVT like other Toyota hybrids. In addition to e-CVT, this trim has an automatic transmission. Weird! What it doesn't have is a SPARE tire! What an engineering wonder for 53K !

[@djplonghead5403]

What? It has a spare.

[@conradbo1]

That is a beautiful car.

[@Gr8Incarnate]

If it were about 10k less I'd consider buying one

[@MrPC1121]

Seems perfect for people who liked the Subaru Legacy given it is being discontinued.

[@Weaselbeak75]

Good presentation here

[@Jsc8080]

Looks like a monster prius.. nothing fancy.

[@cicada9471]

The issue with me is the price-that's a lot of money for a Toyota. Maybe a Lexus RX 350 would be better. Toyota lineup has too many cars

[@Anomize23]

Until you gotta pay the premium insurance rates, GOOD LUCK!

[@djplonghead5403]

RX 350 is more expensive when equipped with similar features. Also Lexus is usually more expensive to insure.

[@djplonghead5403]

The limited model compares with the Lexus es 300h. Both have very similar, if not the same, powertrains. If you want to get the ES with similar features as the crown limited, like vented seats, heated steering wheel, etc, then you are at 49k. The crown takes the lead in things like the standard larger screen and sunroof. The ES is better with things like the wooden trim with lighting, 10 way seats instead of 8, option for a power trunk, HUD, and a much better sound system. The crown limited is 50,000 with the advanced park. Dealers seem to be offering a $2,000 discount to get them to sell (at least where I am from). That $48,000 is pretty close to the ES with similar options. The only thing with the Crown is that you can’t get some features you may want- power tilt/telescope wheel, opening moonroof, better sound system, etc. This is annoying because the Avalon has a few of these features. Overall, I think that the crown limited is better than an ES in terms of standard. If you find/build an ES with some options it is quite a bit better than the crown.

[@user9518-bp3qs]

the 2025 crown actually comes with power tilt/telescopic steering wheel, hud, and power trunk on platinum models!

[@ytrottier]

@@user9518-bp3qs The 2025 platinum also comes with all-wheel steering!

[@Randolf_Wisenberg]

👑Crown emblem instead of Toyota looks much better. I think looking at high SUV sales Toyota should tinker with the design and make it look like a Bmw X3 or X5 or Benz GLE GLS.

[@erictate5985]

I like the crown sedan and want one. If you don't go get you a suv a truck a motorcycle or what ever you can afford 😂

[@angiadiamonte4632]

Is it at all like the maxima 2024

[@gerardobaltodano]

Esos viejos carros de gasolina. Todavía los recuerdan?

[@CameronDC-Grimes]

It's a eCVT split power transaxle mechanism for transmission that is nothing like a CVT transmission, CVT'S have a belt/VChain that drives on cones, one that moves in closer to the other cone squeezing belt up the cone incline causing the belt on that side to get larger in diameter. Hense why it's called a continuously variable transmission because the larger size of belt pulley makes a higher gear ratio. eCVT transmission (Power Split Device) is a transmission using only gears that are incredibly strong with a planetary gear system with two electric motors that double as electric generators, that's why the motors are called MG1 and MG2. The MG1 starts the motor and it doesn't have a starter motor and doesn't need it. When MG2 kicks on or is rotating the opposite direction of MG1 or the planetary gears are stopped MG1 and MG2 generate electricity to the battery pack. eCVT's don't wear down like automatic transmissions or especially like CVT's. There's no clutches or belts or chains to break. Many CVT's snap their V belt/V Drive chain before 150K miles. So it's very important to distinguish between CVT's and eCVT's. You technically only have to change the transmission fluid every couple years because of the gearsets instead of chains or belts and lack of many different wearable components like clutch packs.

[@Lexlugr]

Good write up. What is the coupling mechanism if there are no clutches? Is there a torque converter? Or are you saying that it's primarily an electric drive system with the engine serving as the power generator rather than prime mover? The tradeoff you will get with these is that it's not really a way to properly work on these platforms and it's a dealer only repair. We also haven't run the gamut of reliability windows so only time will tell how well they perform compared to their traditional hybrids or pure ice

[@GOPNiK-47]

I have a feeling these designs specially color design is inspired by cyberpunk

[@Bae-w6u]

we get the crown badge where I live. Apparently different from country to country

[@jeffreygomes-st3sl]

Appreciate the honesty

[@kylebitterly79]

I wouldn't pay more than 30k for this. Looks very cheap inside. A+ on the outside and C on the inside

[@kionimitchell6172]

What suppose to be a front grill is a hideous plastic 😅

[@thecitygunfightx]

I never even heard of it until just now much less seen one

[@sopadesopita]

dealer wants 50k for the non turbo version 💀 yeah i’m good

[@djplonghead5403]

It must have the advanced tech package.

[@marineplatoon1]

If I’m paying 40k I’m just buying a new 4runner or a xse Camry

[@M09W41]

For top of the line 55k you can buy older versions of both a 4Runner and Camry

[@ralphschreckengost6865]

That's exactly what I say I'd rather have a 4Runner anyway. My wife has a Camry and I have a problem at 6 ft getting in and out of it and it's too low I am used to driving a truck so I'd rather have a 4Runner for that kind of money or if I had less money I would just go with a Mazda

[@toddgilpin7089]

I"m headed to test drive one of these. Not interested in 45 series tires though.

[@LesleyCanterbury22]

Did you buy it?

[@charles0414]

It’s an eye opener when you see it on the road. Unfortunately I haven’t seen one in the States but I saw many when I went back to Taiwan.

[@user9518-bp3qs]

Yea it has a lot of road presence, i live in texas and i’ve seen quiet a few of them

[@zuhawk15]

Drove it liked it

[@omidnamin9004]

if you take the base engine, for the extra price, what does this offer over a the new camry??? other than subjective styling.

[@djplonghead5403]

Heated vented seats are standard for the 2025 crown. Not on the 2025 Camry. That also means the crown will get standard leather seats (not softex). Power passenger seat? Climate concierge- I’m not sure if the new Camry has that. Also just the better seating position is nice.

[@chuckg100]

I saw one yesterday on the street near me and thought I'd look into it. The more I see the more I say nah...

[@CarshowAuto]

thank for review

[@dannybryant6873]

As a Prius owner who would like a higher car for my aging hips and knees this car is a consideration. Give me the electric drive train with the gasoline assist (the lower power higher fuel economy option similar to the Prius and Camry hybrid). I would be very reluctant to get the turbo even if the fuel economy was the same. I have no plans to buy a turbo, or GDI without port injection, or a sleazy mechanical CVT. As we love our station wagons (SUVs, minivans, sport wagons, etc.), please bring us a lift back version (like my current Prius). I really like the hybrid synergy drive hybrid. Most of the electric car goodness without the electric car drawbacks.

[@Pedro-k5x6f]
