Toyota oldest nameplate, reborn. A lifted sedan-crossover with available hybrid power.
The Toyota Crown is Toyota oldest passenger-car nameplate, dating to 1955, long a flagship sedan in Japan. It was revived globally in 2022 in a bold new form: a lifted, crossover-influenced sedan that blends sedan comfort with a higher ride height and available hybrid powertrains, including a powerful Hybrid MAX. The new Crown targets buyers wanting something distinctive between a sedan and an SUV, with premium features and Toyota reliability. Its unusual proportions and two-tone styling make it stand out, reviving a storied name for a new era. On WhipJury, the Crown appears as a distinctive, modern hybrid sedan-crossover.
