This New Crown Just Beat Out All Other Toyotas In This Way

Toyota just knocked it out of the park with the return of the new Crown. Sedans might be dying in America, but this Crown begs to differ.

I own a Crown Limited, and its exceptional ride quality constantly has me seeking reasons to hit the road. It's incredibly smooth and quiet, making every journey a pleasure.

[@lidengni7624]

Went to Toyota dealer for Camry XLE Hybrid for my daughter, the salesperson asked me to test drive a 2024 Crown Limited. I immediately signed the contract without delay. Just a fantastic car. My daughter is so happy.

[@djplonghead5403]

That’s a good gift.

[@matw1x]

The Crown looks mediocre online but when you see it in person, that 50K pricetag all of a sudden makes sense. It's got more presence than the Lexus LS which is almost double the price of the Crown.

[@LaowaiDaveJCP]

hybrid? no way

[@hariranormal5584]

I saw one going. My eyes were casual, so when I saw it I was like "DARN, that looks so out of the ordinary, is it one of those new modern Chinese cars?! looks nice" then looked at the back to find the crown badge. It really does look different. Not a bland Camry or whatever

[@naveenthemachine]

@@hariranormal5584 even in my Camry XSE 2020 I do a head turn whenever i see another camry XSE because it just looks so good 😍

[@jonathanbryant9855]

Most of the electric car goodness with none of the electric car drawbacks. 40mpg. What's not to like?

[@naveenthemachine]

@@jonathanbryant9855 it looks ugly, it’s cramped, and it’s very slow. And 40mpg may sound good but a rav4 hybrid gets the same mpg and it has a lot more cargo space and more ground clearance. A Camry hybrid has the same ground as a crown a bit more space yet it gets 52mpg

[@MonaHarmon]

Love mine! When I drive it I get great comments and people stop to look. So much fun. Best car I've ever had. Loaded Limited with Advanced Technology Package.

[@lindachlanda7198]

Just bought a Crown Limited and love its design and luxurious interior. I test drove the Lexus ES 350 and it doesn’t compare to the ride and feel of the Crown. This review was outstanding.

[@ShiftingLanes]

Thanks for sharing!

[@paultanthony]

Traded in my 2023 BZ4X for this and couldn’t be more happy

[@ShiftingLanes]

Yeah, you made the right choice there

[@attszhang2692]

just brought a 2024 crown limited with $8800 off. At this price point, i don't know why people buy camry xle hybird with mark up.

[@MrMuchachos75]

Oh stop. 8800 off. Bullcrap

[@djplonghead5403]

We just checked out a dealership and it’s about $1000 off MSRP. With a trade-in we should get it down to about 30,000 which is a great price for what the car offers.

[@Gopinathk17]

Where did you get $8800 off?

[@chrissaylor7137]

@@MrMuchachos75 I just paid $42,500 for 2024 Limited. It's out there, just have to be patient, and I got 3.75% on the rate too.

[@DannyFyffe]

@@MrMuchachos75 You are right. He already answered another comment and isn't saying who sold it to him. If he got 8800 off, his mom paid the 8800 for him.

[@DavidSmith-ve5kj]

I just bought the Crown Limited for my wife coming out of a Corolla. We both love it so much and can’t wait for the 950 mile road trips to the grandkids.

[@m4nc1n1]

Just got a 2024 Crown Platinum Hybrid Max and I love it!

[@55stevieray]

Great detailed review. I have had my Limited since Sept 2023 and I love the ride and library quit cabin. It has plenty of power, and I have the macadamia interior, which gives it a very airy feel compared to a dark interior. I really like the outside styling.

[@fromchicagowithacountryaccent]

I saw one of these today at Toyota and Honda it look really nice it’s so different from most cars

[@Connie-qn4oq]

I was in the market for a 2021 or 2022 Lexus RX350 (due to the V6 engine) when my husband pointed out a vehicle on the roadway which was the Toyota Crown. I like sitting up high and was not in the least interested in a sedan. We ended up going to a Toyota dealership and test driving the Crown. We both fell in love. We’re now purchasing the Toyota Crown Limited. Serendipity. This was a great video and I enjoyed the comments here as well from other Crown owners.

[@July.4.1776]

We love our Crown Limited. Excellent MPG 43.7, AWD for the slippery winter months, nicely optioned. My wife wanted a sedan with the quiet ride and a trunk. The fit and finish along with the proven power train were the top selling point I am 6 foot Toyota got the ride height on the money for ingress / egress.

[@JWFas]

Out of curiosity, what mix of city/hwy is your driving?

[@Mo-qb5fb]

the car is not worth the price. at the end of the day its a totoya. The camry hybrid is a way better car and priced better than this car with 20 horsepower difference not even worth it. 226 hp in this car is not going to push any harder than a camry

[@July.4.1776]

@@JWFas Driving is some small village, freeway and mostly rural not much city driving. It is easy to hyper mile in the country with no one behind you when slowing for stop signs.

[@July.4.1776]

@@Mo-qb5fb To each their own we liked the ingress and egress height better. I never liked having to step down into a vehicle. The all wheel drive is a game changer in the snowy and slippery roads. Nothing a matter with the Camry it is just personal preference. We chose the Crown you may like the Camry better everyone has their preference. That is the beauty of different makes and models everyone gets a choice.

[@UniquilibriuM]

I love this car. My best vehicle, yet. It is an amazing ride and full of so many great options I am still exploring. Mine is grey and looks amazing. It stands out wherever I go as well as performing phenomenally.

[@guineeeg1]

Great coverage!

[@AnthonyBellao]

Own one and love it. Seriously, great car that's fun to drive. $40 to fill the tank with premium getting about 450 per tank doesn't hurt either.

[@55stevieray]

Beautiful vehicle, love the lines on this car.

[@Artlovehair]

I just got one I’m in loved thanks for the Al information

[@citizentex5720]

This is a really nice car. I’ve driven one and I think it rides and is built to the standard of a Lexus. Looks are subjective, but it definitely looks like a Toyota to me I have to say, as an old man, that it is a major mistake to have those giant wheels on the car. It could ride so much better with smaller wheels and you wouldn’t have to worry about curbs as much, much less the cost of replacing the tires.

[@Highlander311]

Its biggest failure is that it looks like a hatchback but doesn’t actually have the utility of having a hatch. The other mistake is they slapped on a Toyota badge and they should have used a Crown badge.

[@zheniatanasova2179]

I absolutely love mine! It's the most gorgeous red color (exactly like the one in the video), sleek, sporty looking. People wave at me at traffic lights to ask me what it is. I'm absolutely proud of owning one, and after all the cars I looked at, this one is still the most beautiful in my eyes! I also love that's so rare! I've only seen 3 on the road - black, white, and mine. Mine totally steals the show, though haha It looks and feels classy, and it's definitely turning heads everywhere I go ❤️

[@g-man2507]

The two toned color is much nicer.

[@PedroSanchez-mg1bd]

Good review. I tested one and it felt weird when you let go the gas pedal, and also the braking felt different. I have never had a hybrid and I believe that relates to that. Can you comment on that?

[@HiiImChris]

Saw one in person and it looked super cool. Itll grow on ppl just watch

[@thesuncollective1475]

The styling is the best in the Toyota line

[@DickSmith-fq1cb]

I just ordered mine in Heavy Metal with Black/Dark Chestnut interior. Test drove one before I ordered mine and it's an amazing car.

[@danydufort4562]

Great insightful review. My concern is with that big piece of black plastic at the front, with time it might look weathered and dull. I would appreciate your thoughts.

[@ShiftingLanes]

It’s glossy finish, so I doubt it. If it were matte black or textured, different story

[@oldtoughguy]

I have an XLE and on a recent road trip while on the interstate the car in front of me hit a mud flap off a semi truck and flipped it up and onto the front grill (hard hit) thought it shattered the grill- pulled over got out and looked- nothing, I couldn’t believe it, very pleased. Btw averaging 46.3 in town

[@g.r.2985]

I really like Crown and Great Review! Really looking forward to the Sigma coming soon.

[@alexmassengale433]

I've still yet to actually see one in the wild and local dealers are advertising these for thousands below MSRP.

[@pat5170]

I really like your review and thinking seriously about a Limited. I would like to see in 2025 heads up display, a sunroof that opens and lastly a plug in hybrid. great looking car…

[@stephaniecheathem5127]

Very interested in buying this car but i can't find any that has these wheels. Not even on the toyota website??

[@elchiflito7603]

I love this car and I want to buy it but I’m still waiting for the crown sport :,)

[@edhayes3549]

I sell Toyotas for a Boston area dealership and when someone's name came off of an incoming XLE decided that it was time to upgrade my ride, hopefully it is only about a week away...

[@user-om9pj5lb2w]

What do you have to shut off to take a crown through the car wash? That is quite an experience because I own one.

[@worldhello1234]

Without crown badge, without crown stitching and without the nice little details that make it unique. 😬🥴

[@bobdillard4913]

I did demo one for a brief time. About a typicaldeLer demo. 10 minutes and 3 miles. I was impressed. But needore to convince me of the $4.8 k price tag.

[@bobdillard4913]

Typical dealership demo around here.

[@jamesnewman1055]

I like everything about this car but the low profile tire, also Im wondering how it handles going up a steep grade or mountain roads? Anyone??

[@safdarakbari]

Not giving it fastback trunk seems a nissed opportunity to me

[@mattgiunt]

Did Toyota change the color red on the 2024 Crown Limited? This seems like a brighter red than the 2024 but it could just be the cameras.

[@1231nlp]

I would love to see this car have an actual lift back, dual exhaust, and 1 and half inches more off the ground. This would definitely be a real attempt on how the modern car should. #LoveToyota

[@jonathanbryant9855]

I'm hoping they bring the lift back to the U.S. I love my 10 year old prius but would like a bigger higher vehicle for my aging body. It could be my "big Prius"

[@jcruz4018]

Yeahh would like to see but I think this one already have dual exhaust

[@rickrubin1291]

Really wish they'd made it a hatchback, much more usable space & it wouldn't have changed the look much.

[@othman0077]

I give the crown 9/10 instead of LED bar, I prefer the cornering lights, I don't know why they ditched the cornering lights!!

[@jaws10278]

Thats one thing I miss from the big Cadillacs, Buicks, Lincolns of yester year

It’s a hybrid. No.

[@madhankumar2051]

Awesome interior and technology and power train . The exterior design front is good . Side and rear design looks old 😅

[@user-po1fy1yi1d]

Almost bought a Crown. Wanted something different than SUV styling. Loved how it drove. But could not accept all the exterior glossy black plastic on the front grill and the "nike swoosh" on the doors. A few years of sunlight will make this car look drab as the black looses its gloss, and fades unevenly as we've all seen too often as cars age.

[@user-jr2pt7te1h]

I love this car! The muscle crossed with luxury!

[@JohnsonOluwajuwon]

Every car has to look like a surprised CATFISH 🤣🤣🤣

[@RobertBlaize]

I bought a 2007 Camry Hybrid, and after driving it for acouple of months could not wait to get rid of it. The real problem was the gas and battery handoff just didn’t work. Recently we thought it was time to give Toyota another look. Traded my 2019 Lincoln Mk Z for a Limited Crown. What a difference! The Crown rides better and the power is just enough for the high way cruising and plenty of power for in town. Very happy with the car, but it will take a while tofigure out all of the idiosyncrasies. This video for example showed me how to open the trunk by touching a button.

[@robertcurry6413]

This should have an off road option like a subaru outback

[@stevedolan5065]

This car and the new Prius are great looking cars imho!

[@jaws10278]

I just dont like the hatchback shape of the back window into the trunk lid. Makes it look like an Accord. Otherwise its a nice looking vehicle

[@kevincinnamontoast3669]

Toyota made a hybrid with a hybrid power system we get to hear his opinion

[@Myrune1]

I'll take the 340hp, thankyouverymuch. I'll take the hit on MPG. I'm betting it won't be near as bad as they claim if you don't rip it all the time. I have a high horsepower sedan currently and I generally get 26mpg and as high as 29mpg and I think it's rated for 22. (I get as low as 15mpg if I'm having a good time driving my short distance to work.)

XLE and Limited deal breaker for me is the CVT transmission. Horrible experience with CVT's in the past. The Platinum trim would be my go to just for the 6 speed transmission.

[@July.4.1776]

It’s not a belt driven CVT it is a ECVT completely different animal. It’s a planetary gear set like those used on large equipment.

[@uptstickstickly]

@@July.4.1776 thanks for the explanation. My wife had a 2015 Pathfinder. The CVT in that truck was absolute junk.

[@kionimitchell6172]

[@williamzhang963]

This car turned out to be a flop. Less people bought it last year than those who bought the Avalon in 2022, and Avalon numbers were not good in recent years. So if this were Toyota's attempt at boosting their large sedan sales, it has failed. So far in 2024 the numbers have gone up a bit compared to 2023, so maybe there is hope for it yet.
