*HANDS ON* 2024 Toyota Crown Sport and 2024 Toyota Crown Sedan // Which is better?!

[@franzvanjulio5523]

That Crown is a gorgeous car. Thank you for bringing it to us, Kirk. I’m excited for you being there. David is a great companion on your trip.

[@KirkKreifels]

He's the ultimate companion. My Gandalf per se haha. I'd be lost w/o him here.

[@faheemabbas3965]

🥲 TOYOTA BRING THE CROWN SPORT TO THE US PLEASEEEEE

[@Unchainedmaple888]

The Crown Sport is so much better than our current Crown liftback and the upcoming estate. Idk what crack Toyota is smoking not bringing the sport here

[@faheemabbas3965]

@@Unchainedmaple888the crown we got is a sales flop. A disaster. They need to bring the crown sport over.

[@pinkipipe]

Crown Sport 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@koven1497]

As long as they keep the Crown symbol and don’t replace it…

[@shadowhound5113]

A lift back would have made the sedan better.

[@righteousone1]

Sport looks a lot better.

[@redhunnid5142]

Waaay better it’s the best looking vehicle Toyota has made since the Supra MK4

[@JCVACCARO]

The Crown Sport looks sooooo nice

[@JJustinXu]

Hopefully the Crown Sport makes it to the US someday!!!

[@petouser]

That sedan looks so beautiful, I'm in love. They really should sell it internationally.

[@huyduong7202]

The Crown Sedan looks amazing. I'm glad Dave didn't use his tools to measure the panels gap and the paint thickness. 😅

[@Dione_RBG444]

Love the Crown Sport, would def be on the top of my list if we had it here in the US! Thanks for the hot-off-the-presses reporting, Kirk! Thank you and David for your perspectives!

[@benjaminsmith2287]

Crown Sport should come to North merica. It is a stunning looking car from the exterior. Inside, I think it could use some more sporting touches but the interior is good enough. IT's the exterior that truly stands out.

[@aaronjaggan]

Two winners! Thanks Kirk for covering this!

[@billyjoebeanie4468]

Crown Sport looks incredible…would absolutely buy if this comes stateside

[@raycordero01]

The combination of Mr. David and you sir Kirk is great!!!! Specially with David in Japan!!! You both are awesome! Thank you so much!!!

[@nkimandi]

they have hit a definite homerun with the Sport..imagining GR version and probably a manual option

[@JacksonHustler]

dang, this would be really sweet. a 6 speed manual luxury sport car

[@kevinn1158]

I cannot believe Toyota might not bring the Sport SUV in NA... Thanks guys! Now I'm missing Japan. 5,900,000 Yen is 39.3k USD. You guys better go for street noodles!!

[@chillaxinn]

Thank you Kirk for showcasing both the Crown Sport and sedan models. It must be great to see these in person rather than on press photos. I'll be going to see these in person next year when I go to the Tokyo Auto Salon next January! Its been over 3 years since I went to Japan. As for sunroofs, in Taiwan many luxury cars didn't have sunroofs unless they were higher trim or imported from the US. It seems Japan is similar in that aspect.

[@ryannatividad3137]

From what I've seen, the relative ubiquity of sunroofs/moonroofs on luxury and even most mid-trim mainstream cars seems to be a unique North American market preference. Both in Asia and in Europe, there seems to be a distinct preference of some buyers in those markets for luxury and premium vehicles that don't necessarily include the sun exposure and/or added complication of a moonroof. It could also be that traditionally, most cars in the US and Canada are sold out of dealer stock, and in Asia and Europe, that car buyers are able to order their cars with more specific and bespoke options. Typically in the US, most manufacturers bundle features in popular packages, forcing you into the moonroof if you want features such as heated seats or an upgraded sound system.

[@twanjr]

That Crown Sport looks amazing! Lexus should inject some of the Crown into their brand DNA even more.

[@newsmedia-one9756]

Kirk, this is pure eye candy! Beautiful, beautiful crowns, and thank you for displaying these! You’re amazing man❤

[@askaniuk]

What a scoop! Congratulations on gaining this exclusive access ..I'm hoping the estate version reaches UK shores

[@greggp5044]

I'm really hoping for the crown sport to make its way to the US, I feel like it's the car I've been looking for!

[@MisterMister5893]

Get a Macan.

[@TopElectricSUV]

I think you got the best guy in Japan to help explain the Japanese-spec Toyota models. David offers some fantastic insights. Great work!

[@arslan479]

Kirk so glad to see you in japan. Love the crown sport. Please plead our case & say UK needs Toyota/Lexus sedans not just suvs

[@vinnycent007]

Two of my favourite car youtubers. Thanks for the awesome coverage.

[@Tonga2]

Love the SPORT !!!! Hybrid Sport is my choice and would order one the minute I hear it will be available!!

[@gnerd07]

That crown sport is in dream car territory for me right now. Stunning vehicle. I have to import one

[@lifeisgood7762]

Loved the honesty and objective comments by your guest/host...! So refreshing to hear! 👍

[@alwayne5932]

Glad y’all bringing these Japanese cars to us back home here Kirk…am trying to catch every reviews u & David got going on…because I wanna see my favorite’s Toyota & Lexus 😁👍🏾

[@jasonknowledge8824]

Wow! If they made the horsepower match it's looks it would be a hit here in the US

[@Michael-kd7hn]

Definitely hoping for the Crown Sport

[@MikeTarlton]

They need to bring the Crown Sport with some more power to the US and they’ll sell like crazy.

[@AndreiGonzalesDesign]

Toyota not bringing the Crown Sport outside of Japan would be a massive sales miss. Talk about leaving money on the table.

[@andrescott5976]

That's the most beautiful car I've ever seen

[@keino111689]

I can’t believe we’re not getting this in the U.S. I’m ready to trade in my Honda accord for this.

[@chinito77]

Thanks for going out of the way on your dime to get up close and personal on these new models. Keep up the amazing work and enjoy your stay in Japan!

[@KuyaArbee]

WOAHHHH 2024 CROWN! this better come to the USA! sad part is TOYOTA USA dealers are getting too GREEDY in my honest opinion

[@faheemabbas3965]

Literally the reason I didn’t buy a Toyota when getting a new car. I swear it will be Toyota’s downfall in the US if they don’t do anything to stop it. Making the Lexus TX to combat Grand Highlander sales isn’t a good strategy, like Honda making the Integra to combat Civic Si markups (And Type S for Type R markups). Is this some kind of new Japanese North American anti-markup strategy?

[@KuyaArbee]

@@faheemabbas3965 ya and then you’re gonna get stuck with the premium service and prices 😅😂🤣 so it’s still a win win with Toyota… and Lexus… regardless ya it’s crazy to see how Toyota and Honda aren’t fighting for the consumers but letting these dealerships gate keep these cars and are demanding markup prices…. That’s why I’m waiting on the new model 3 and Y….. no price gouging just adjust based on market and demand and don’t have to deal with the sales and finance folks….

[@shadowhound5113]

Then the dealership is like oh we don’t raise prices and cheat you out of money. BTW here is $10,000 of add ons that you have to get.

[@jml9550]

If the Sport comes to the US at $50k, I will be the first one in line with my checkbook. As much as I love my 2017 ES350 with only 40k miles on her, she is a goner. 😊 but I ain’t paying a dime over MSRP on general principle.

[@3WadeD3]

Crown sport would be amazing in Matte Black!

[@darknessislight3689]

Kirk’s in heaven 😊 I’m so happy for you 👍🏾 thanks for the great coverage 🫶🏾

[@mensahfrancis4216]

The Crown Sport car looks beautiful man😂😂 been hyped since i saw early pictures..sick🔥🔥

[@rightlanehog3151]

Kirk, Send in the Crowns. There ought to be Crowns. Maybe next year . 😉🤣😂

[@burningknuckle26]

Omg it look so nice. Crown is the Truth!!!

[@andrewharrington7706]

Congrats!. Least you’ve seen it in the flesh!. Keep it coming. Have fun!!.

[@fegik5922]

from the crown line up was released in summer 22, the Crown Sport is what pulled me in. We need the Crown Sport international ly!

[@Nandito-Greatness]

Rear end taillights got that beautiful cayenne coupe taillights 😭💯

[@CalvinHikes]

What are you guys doing with your hands on the cover photo?

[@Sajikibara]

Would I be wrong in thinking they wouldn’t bring it to the US because options like the NX450+? Seems very similar in power and luxury

[@americandude3825]

I’m happy for y’all two. Best yt reviewers. Kirk and David take photos and get souvenirs. Great memory. Ps. Toyota we want a xtra cab hybrid max aka X Runner Tacoma.

[@diegostevenson4569]

Toyota should do a pre order list like tesla does. Get the sport here !

[@2ZZGE100]

Crown Sport looks so good. It needs the GR Corolla powertrain, and it will be a big hit.

[@AndrewG2.0]

Please, please! Tell me they bring that sport to the US, I'm in love with the design

[@ImportKnight13]

I was in Tokyo last week and saw a white sport version driving around. I had to double take "wth is that?!" It looked amazing!

[@Tbar24]

Love the exterior lighting on both!!

[@Toyota4Life]

Toyota is killing it Nothing from Honda or Nissan looks this good

[@ChavaYang]

Ive been a fan of the crown sport since your earliest videos!

[@huyduong7202]

I watch the rear end of the Crown Sedan many times. The proportion is perfect and tight.

[@SuperSaqer]

I hope we get the Crown sedan here in the GCC. I hope you make the most out of the trip and say hi to David for me!

[@Bullyproof2]

The sport needs to happen in north America... I want one now. But, in canada we probably wont see one till 2025 unfortunately. I'm also praying they keep the crown badge on it. Love,love,love it cant wait

[@jphourcheu]

Crown Sedan any day’!! I actually don’t like the current semi cross over, it’s quite a confusing choice. I mean bring all three and eventually discontinue the one with lowers sell. Though I feel like crown is a halo product for Toyota.

[@Irishmanbikes]

The Crown Sport is very good looking, but it seems to sit closer to the ground then an SUV sitting up. Love the Crown Sedan.

[@melvinpegus]

I really want a 2018 crown here in the US love the styling and design of the last generation of crown.

[@lionintu]

Omg I can't wait to see the Crown Estate tomorrow. Good job guys

[@0mcabra]

Arigatou! I'm having breakfest and drinking coffee and watching this! I pick Crown Sport

[@Gordon76100]

Great coverage Kirk, all the quick hand movements reminds me of a late 90's action comedy.

[@mcximus]

Crown Sport looks great. Toyota should brings it to the states

[@LarryNgetich]

The back actually reminds me of a '90s RX-7, which is a beautiful car too. Toyota's design decisions in the last 5 years have been true works of art.

[@BroVCam]

This thing looks AMAZING! Very Ferrari Porosangue'isck!😅 I sure hope we're getting this version in the States! I WANT the two-tone yellow!!! 🤤🥰👍🏽

[@DARKENnekradPL]

Please bring Crown Sport to UE

[@fvillar22]

I love how you both bounce comments off each other.

[@cowboyfoodie9551]

this the youtuber crossover we needed

[@peethasaccent]

Crown Sedan is like taking a classic look of a car and make it futuristic. Which more car are like this.

[@brianzhuang4319]

I need the sedan. Looks so good

[@ronaldhitchings1847]

Lexus ES sales will suffer if that were to happen. As I had predicted a year ago, no other crown models are coming to U.S. market. 😂

[@elementkx]

That sport is FIRE. Bring it over and you got me...buying a used one. lol.

[@BernonCars]

What a treat!!

[@KirkKreifels]

Yo Bern!

[@aye3678]

I love these! They look amazing. If I had to choose which one of the two I would go for, I would go for the Sedan. Don't get me wrong, it is such a difficult decision when you are choosing from two beautiful cars

[@stephenwinter8892]

Greetings from southern Ontario Canada Thanks for the presentation and I'm looking forward to seeing this hybrid here

[@kevinmccarthy9790]

I would buy a Crown Sport today! I live in SW Florida, tell me where to send the check$$

[@illuminaughty2929]

The sport for me and the wagon for her. 😂

[@crownvigilante]

Super interesting guys - also David being from Japan..Awesome

[@cupompa]

Thanks for sharing Kirk, I filled out that QR Code survey thing asking to bring both cars to the USA. Google Translate helped

[@goatmonkey2112]

That thing looks great. It would sell like crazy in the USA too. Ramp up that production.

[@byhsu6140]

Crown Sport is my favorite of all the Crowns.

[@redhunnid5142]

They need to give that Toyota Crown Sport a AWD drive option if brought to the United States please make it AWD drive too!!!

[@khaligraphjones2536]

I need a bigger size, I love the one they’re proposing to do next in the crown series. They should get me that one

[@peppersmith]

That Sport is Nasty. I bet that will come close or match the Carmy in sales.. Once it gets over here. But i want it to be Fast. Could u imagine if this came with the Supra Motor. Good Lawd, I'll be first in line..... Only Dreaming!!!!

[@jsfbay1]

I actually like the sedan more than I was expecting! If it had a liftback I could be tempted by this!!! Thanks! My pick is Estate, then Sport.

[@El_Gato718]

I will trade my crown for this one in a heartbeat

[@swallis1236]

😂 you guys are so funny together, great to see. Oh nice car too 😁

[@eastexotic]

Digital rear view material is my favourite feature of my Toyota. I will never buy another car without it. It should be standard on every model.

[@douglashewitt1350]

The Crown Sport of course! 😊

[@shaneh734]

This is absolutely beautiful! It looks like it was designed by Ferrari! This should have been brought to the US instead of the sedan 💯

[@thrash123ful]

Crown sedan for the win.Fingers crossed it comes to the US.

[@russellg510]

Crown Sport all the way. I would buy it the second it was available.

[@andyortiz8018]

That Crown Sport would be great to add to my Toyota collection, 2 Corrola hybrids, and one Rav4 Prime.

[@aspenmarler6061]

Crown Sport by a mile! First Toyota I’d consider in years from a design perspective.

[@phuocpham18407]

Hello, I loved all Toyota and I love this car( Grown Sport) do you think is ever come to America? Thank you

[@nickchandler4334]

Crown Sport! Love the look.

[@evfuture6643]

I am with you Kirk, bring the Crown Sedan

[@GayeC-z7s]

Sport or estate. Both are stunning. I''ll wait for the phev.

[@preoksaha4504]

I hope they bring the red one to NM! The crown line up is sexy af

[@phosimmie]

Personally I like the Crown Estate more.

[@L1Ght_67]

Hey Kirk, what's the starting price for this particular Crown sedan?
