We had a 2022 XSE. Someone ran a stop sign Sunday and impacted the XSE at the front right side, scraped their driver side across the XSE to the drive side. Our daughter was driving. She had just pulled forward from a stop sign and the other driver blew through their stop sign and hit the XSE around 30 mph probably. Our front fenders both popped off/tore, hood pushed in, fender also pushed back into the driver door, headlights smashed all over road, grill and front fascia laying on ground. Leaking fluids etc. But my daughter is ok. Sore. Bruised. Our airbags didn’t deploy bc she was going so slow. The at fault party air bags deployed bc their front end hit and driver side hit our front area at their higher rate of speed. It ripped the sheet metal off their driver side front and rear doors. The tow truck driver was able to start and drive the XSE onto the flatbed.
Was undecided between so many cars for so long. I really liked the Signia but was afraid to buy one as i havent seen a single one on the road. However, im deciding to buy one today. Thanks for the video! Not just this one but many others as well
Check out the video that the Car Care Nut did about this car. AMD is a Toyota mechanic with his own shop. His reviews are hands down the best since he knows all the mechanical things about cars. Do rest assured that the Crown Signia isn’t a crazy new car. It’s built with parts that have been used on many cars. The transmission comes from the Highlander and Sienna hybrids. It’s heavier duty than the transmission on the RAV4 and Venza.
@@Gopinathk17 I’ve driven the Venza and the Crown sedan. I prefer the Avalon to both of them, but it is gone from the US market and served a different niche. The Crown handled slightly firmer than the Venza so I assume the same is true for the Signia.
That and the Crown Signia doesn’t come with a Max option, our options in the 🇺🇸 are the Crown sdean. Too bad I have a friend in 🇯🇵 who has the PHEV fully loaded, my Navy buddy showed it it is nice! You could import but then you’re gonna have to pay taxes taxes and fees. Might as well get a Lexus
Just got back from testing both. If you compare specs head to head, its hard to beat the Rav4. However theres just something about the looks and interior of the Signia that is hard to measure. Has that overall "premium" feel to the Signia. Didn't like the Signia at first but found that the Copper color really shows off the design well.
Awesome comparison as always! I’m really curious how the Crown Signia compares to the Highlander Platinum, because they are within $5,000 of each other and they are about the same size. Thanks for posting!
toyotas will always win my heart 1.reliability 2.resell value 3.drives so smooth 4.cheap on maintence 5.amazing on gas 6. no turbos on some models 7. all models come with hybrid
One thing with cargo volume is the signia is longer (like a trunk) and the rav 4 is shorter and more upright. I think most people will find the longer space better as it is “safer” to use that cargo volume. I bet if you get all 37 cubic feet in the back of the rav 4 and open the back something is going to fall out.
I wish they would breakdown the storage capacity by seat height and total…I rarely, if ever, see anyone stack things above the seat height in any car due to visibility…Love the Crown Signia, but hope they offer smaller tire options…not a fan of the low profile trend that has permeated every car these days…not necessary and serves absolutely no purpose other than being a trend.
Agreed . Both are good vehicles there’s only one thing that’s interesting on the SUV variant they do not have a MAX engine option, like they do on the Toyota Crown Sedan. Maybe, if enough people complain, it will be available. Also Lexus Toyota option the Highlander is also a good option
Engineering background and Toyota-Lexus expert. I always tell people this,, if you want something that is practical, get the Toyota Rav 4. If you want more luxury, the get the Toyota Crown Signia. Caveat and one flaw and I do not get it. On the sedan variant, the Toyota Crow comes with a MAX, a better hybrid engine option. However, in the SUV variant, this option is unavailable, for now/
Wife and I have the Crown Signia XLE version, and it is a very nice car over our previous RAV 4 limited, but we are disappointed with the fact our XLE does not have Parking sensors, like the RAV 4 Limited had!!
Im glad i saw this as i am currently shopping for a new toyota. I love the plush features of the crown signia but the two big winners for me on the Rav4 are the open moon roof and cargo space which are thr 2 most important things for me with gas mileage being the next. 😊
I looked over a Crown Signia at the dealer’s, to compare it to my 24 Venza. I found it to be much lower than the Venza, a wagon, so probably not on the same platform as the RAV4, except the drive train is similar. I’m kinda of surprised Toyota is still doing the same RAV4 after maybe six years. The Crown Signia feels like a wagon. It is nicely styled though, inside and out. The interior dash is smoother than the Venza, not that the V is dated. The center console is nice. The actual buttons are better than Venza’s soft-touch buttons.
Who is the idiot at Toyota who decided that a moonroof that doesn't open is a good idea? A big part of the failure of the second Venza, and the sole reason why my wife isn't driving one now.
Why bigger wheels is better? Harsher ride, less fuel efficient, more expensive, in less then two years I pinched 2 of them. Manufactures making better design, so they look better to charge extra grand.
How’d you pinch them? Most people would get better fuel economy if they’d stay home and quit running out multiple times per week to be seen shopping or dining out. They just said the ride was nice and the large 21 inch wheels.
I feel the higher spec trim Crown doesn't gain enough to bother spending over 50k. The base model would've likely fared the same against the RAV4 for barely more money. Still, terrific comparo, and you did a terrific job itemizing. I'm kind of shopping both of these at the moment.
6.7 inches versus 8.1 inches may make a big difference for me. As much as I like the Crown Signia the price point and ground clearance may take it off the table for me as I transition away from Subaru until they get a hybrid vehicle.
Interior space is deceiving. Rarely do people pack the rear compartment to the ceiling to take advantage of all the space. So footprint usually matters more. The IIHS ratings show the Crown as the safer car. RAV4 is not a IIHS top safety pick.
RAV4 HEV and PHEV were okay, but definitely not comfortable during my 2-3 weeks of rent each. Even Nissan Rogue provided a better ride, and Mazda CX-9 was on another level. I will pick Signia all the time.
The RAV4 is very noisy. I am looking forward to driving the Signia to see if it is Lexus Quiet. I drove the Venza a few years back and liked it but decided on the 4Runner TRD Pro. The 4Runner is a great car but the gas mileage sucks so I’m re-thinking the Venza upgraded to the Signia.
Does the Signia have a spare tire? I have been checking Toyota websites and can't seem to find an answer. No spare tire may turn off quite a few potential buyers.
Good that you did some long drives. How did seat comfort fare after a couple hours in the seats? (Not sure if you got the long drive in the Signia.) Was at a dealer yesterday, and didn't see a Signia on the lot. Plenty of their EV's though. Guess you can tell what is moving and what isn't. Any idea what is happening with the RAV4 for 2025? I'm a bit confused trying to understand Toyota's use of the various drive trains. The '25 Camry comes with the 5th Gen hybrid system, yet the '25 Crown Signia does not. Seems they can tweak the Gen 4, as shown here, to get more power in the Signia vs the RAV4. Not sure how turning radius pans out, but in terms of parking and maneuverability, the Signia must be pushing close to the overall length of a Highlander. (Maybe built on same platform?) Perhaps in the future, a comparison of the Signia at the XLE trim level. How did handling compare? I know the RAV4 Hybrid SE and XSE are supposed to have a more sport tuned suspension than the LE, XLE, and perhaps Limited, but I've never heard anyone comment on whether there is much difference. I like the XSE, but find it annoying that they stuck on those "accent lights" instead of real fog lights. They already have the power supply right where it needs to be. Unless these "accent lights" actually aid illumination in bad weather, I'm not a fan.
My wife and I are older. At the end of the day we will choose the Crown AWD for my wife. My pickup is a 23 Tacoma TRD Off Road, double cab 6’ bed with the premium and technology pkgs. We use our pickup for work around our property and going on Forest and Service Roads. The Crown AWD will be our road car for long trips, as well as her car. I had a 11 Rav 4WD Limited with the 3.5L V6 and the new Rav DIDNT compete because of the fit and finish. It was horrible, so screw the new Rav
I'm not sure yet, but I think I like the. 23-24 Venza better than either of these... sort of the best of both worlds, though less cargo space, in that it's just that little bit more compact for urban driving, shorter than the Signia by six inches or so, and it has the lux interior that will still make the Venza great for long road trips.
Guys, the Crown Signia rides on much longer wheelbase compared to RAV4, is the ride smoother due to that? You did not seem to mention anything regarding ride smoothness and NVH. RAV4 has a spare tire but the SIgnia does not? Is there a 360 degree view in the Signia or RAV4?
Lexus Toyota expert and engineering background. If you want practicality then go with the RAV4 if you want luxury go with the Crown Signia. Toyota had the same design on the Rav 4 since 2019, that is sad. I am disappointed though they don’t have a max option available like they do in the crown sedan and in the US market they are not coming out with the sport variant The Toyota Grand Highlander is a good overall Family SUV. There is not much difference between a fully loaded grand Highlander and a bass Lexus TX now a luxury Lexus TX is a different story you should do a video and compare a Toyota RAV4 to grand Highlander, the Crown,z The 4 runner and the Land Cruisers are also good but they are not as gas friendly because they are body on frame.
Going with rav4 limited. The crown was nice but didn’t like the station wagon look and it seemed much lower and of course the extra money was not helpful
Thanks for the comparison which by the way would have been a bit more on a level playing field if you would have chosen both cars at the same price level, then compare.
I still don't understand why Toyota keeps saturating the segment with their own cars. This is like the 3rd time I've seen them do it in the last 10 years.
I don't get all these number showing in the videos. Please put a label or a description by the numbers that tell us what the number mean every time these numbers show up.
The PHEV options (overpriced as they are) and overall styling of the Rav4 makes me more biased towards them. Purely personal taste and opinion- I don't like the styling ethos Toyota has had for their recent releases. Not sure if I should look forward to or dread the eventual Rav4 face-lift.
Pssst, it's actually a wagon. That's why it's so long and short! You just can't call it that in America because people won't buy them, so of course it's marketed as another crossover/SUV.
The question I have is getting in and out the same between the two as easy on hips and legs with height off the ground? I can't seem to find anyone that talks about that compared to ltes say a Camry which sits much lower
Toyota Crown Signia - Over $51,000 NOT including the "stealership" markup, no HUD, and it looks more like a wagon than an SUV. You would be better off buying an NX 350h.
Signia has more rear leg room than the RAV4 … less headroom tho.. just get the specs of A Crown sedan .. would’ve been more accurate than the unofficial stuff
I had an Avalon limited and traded for a RAV4 XLE Limited. I had decided to trade for a new RAV4 Limited because I missed some features. Drove a Lexus Rx350, that was a mistake. I really wanted to buy it, but fully equipped hybrid was over 60k. Local dealer finally got a Signia, it’s the best of both worlds for me. Love my Bronze Age beauty and don’t miss the HUD for the price difference.

Purchased RAV4 XSE HYBRID a year and a half ago. Current MPG is at 42.2. Non issues. Loving it.
Nice, anything above 40 is a massive win.
Same here. My 2024 XSE is sooooo fabulous. I got it last year Oct.

But my daughter is ok. Sore. Bruised. Our airbags didn’t deploy bc she was going so slow.
The at fault party air bags deployed bc their front end hit and driver side hit our front area at their higher rate of speed. It ripped the sheet metal off their driver side front and rear doors.
The tow truck driver was able to start and drive the XSE onto the flatbed.
I really hate the big wheel trend. I wonder how the ride quality and mpgs would improve if they'd put some nice thick sidewall 17s or 18s on there.
Same, low profile tires belong on sports cars. Unsprung weight, better ride and lower tire prices could be had with smaller wheels.
Big wheels are for small braggers.
totally agree

Toyota should keep the venza hybrid name instead because i owned a 2022 i love it a lot very good looking suv excellent on gas
Now this is how you do a car review !! Thank you guys !! I always wished someone did a review like this. I appreciate this 🙌🏾💯❤️❤️
U should also do a comparison between the crown signia and the Venza in order to see what Improvements Toyota has made
Off the top of my head I would say the Venza had more value
Bit more powered, slightly better interiors, more roomy, better driving dynamics etc..
@@Gopinathk17 I’ve driven the Venza and the Crown sedan. I prefer the Avalon to both of them, but it is gone from the US market and served a different niche. The Crown handled slightly firmer than the Venza so I assume the same is true for the Signia.

I had a rav4 XSE and loved it. Drives well and very practical.

Stuff falls out of my RAV4 all the time haha
I would rather have a heads up display than a big moonroof
Moonroofs and panoramic roofs just seem like expensive repairs waiting to happen. A HUD would be much more useful.
I'm not a fan of moonroofs, but I do think the all glass roofs are nice provided they're heavily tinted.
@@JWFas Actually, I think a stationary glass roof would be less prone to leakage. Repair can be really expensive on the gasket seals.
Wait until 2026
@@Alan-z7i6t Yep, I’m thinking even 2027. My Avalon hybrid is barely over 30K and gets 44-45 mpg.
I will stick with the Highlander. I have a 2019. Absolutely love it

Good details on comparison 👍
At any day I would go for tried and tested bullet proof reliability RAV4. No tension No headache
But the Crown has the same engine as the RAV4. I don’t see the point of only going with the RAV4 just for the engine.
Crown Signia will be rated more-reliable by Consumer Reports because all are built in Japan.
Im glad i saw this as i am currently shopping for a new toyota. I love the plush features of the crown signia but the two big winners for me on the Rav4 are the open moon roof and cargo space which are thr 2 most important things for me with gas mileage being the next. 😊

I would say compare the rav4 prime with the signia. Same money. Curious what the scores would be then.
great question... both built in Japan, too. Rav4 prime much faster, or quicker anyway. Wish there to be a phev Signia in U.S., but alas not yet.
I personally prefer the Rav but both are good, fantastic comparison and happy Sunday!
Have a great week!
I'm surprised Toyota Rav 4 hasn't made a redesign in years...
Who is the idiot at Toyota who decided that a moonroof that doesn't open is a good idea? A big part of the failure of the second Venza, and the sole reason why my wife isn't driving one now.

You should compare the fully loaded trims of both so that the comparison is fair
Love the signia. Way nicer than my 2024 rav4 xle hybrid. Too bad i dont have extra money for the crown. 😢
The Crown is not an SUV or Crossover....
It is a Wagon.
I couldn't find in your video the very important difference on Ground Clearance...!
I think of the Crown as a Highlander without the extra seat row.
6.7 inches versus 8.1 inches may make a big difference for me. As much as I like the Crown Signia the price point and ground clearance may take it off the table for me as I transition away from Subaru until they get a hybrid vehicle.
I think a more fair comparison would be to compare the RAV4 hybrid XSE to the crown signea XLE.
Interior space is deceiving. Rarely do people pack the rear compartment to the ceiling to take advantage of all the space. So footprint usually matters more. The IIHS ratings show the Crown as the safer car. RAV4 is not a IIHS top safety pick.
RAV4 HEV and PHEV were okay, but definitely not comfortable during my 2-3 weeks of rent each.
Even Nissan Rogue provided a better ride, and Mazda CX-9 was on another level. I will pick Signia all the time.
I really wished they had this in Ireland, so sad
The RAV4 is very noisy. I am looking forward to driving the Signia to see if it is Lexus Quiet. I drove the Venza a few years back and liked it but decided on the 4Runner TRD Pro. The 4Runner is a great car but the gas mileage sucks so I’m re-thinking the Venza upgraded to the Signia.
Does the Signia have a spare tire? I have been checking Toyota websites and can't seem to find an answer. No spare tire may turn off quite a few potential buyers.
It does not but it does have a space for a tiny doughnut wheel.
You buy it separately.

A Mazda CX-5 commercial was a sponsor in my viewing. The Crown came in a close second to the Mazda.
Yall should do the Mitsubishi Outlander Vs the Nissan Rouge

And we know exactly who has better work ethic and quality
What would you pick between the CX50 and the Crown?

Very interesting an fair points system you have
More cargo space on the Crown….. but no spare????? 😢
Guys, the Crown Signia rides on much longer wheelbase compared to RAV4, is the ride smoother due to that? You did not seem to mention anything regarding ride smoothness and NVH. RAV4 has a spare tire but the SIgnia does not? Is there a 360 degree view in the Signia or RAV4?
Where are the headlights on the Crown Signia, those thin slits or the circular lights underneath?
The lower circular are
@@jjptech Thanks, I saw it in another video too, I was confused for awhile
For the price point, a better comparison would've been with the RAV4 Prime XSE PP.
I just don't understand why Toyota would make cargo capacity 40% less on a 13-imch longer SUV . This is a deal breaker for the Signia.
Lexus Toyota expert and engineering background. If you want practicality then go with the RAV4 if you want luxury go with the Crown Signia. Toyota had the same design on the Rav 4 since 2019, that is sad. I am disappointed though they don’t have a max option available like they do in the crown sedan and in the US market they are not coming out with the sport variant
The Toyota Grand Highlander is a good overall Family SUV. There is not much difference between a fully loaded grand Highlander and a bass Lexus TX now a luxury Lexus TX is a different story you should do a video and compare a Toyota RAV4 to grand Highlander, the Crown,z
The 4 runner and the Land Cruisers are also good but they are not as gas friendly because they are body on frame.
Going with rav4 limited. The crown was nice but didn’t like the station wagon look and it seemed much lower and of course the extra money was not helpful
Does the Crown sit lower to the ground? Looks more like a station wagon rather than a SUV
Thanks for the comparison which by the way would have been a bit more on a level playing field if you would have chosen both cars at the same price level, then compare.
I still don't understand why Toyota keeps saturating the segment with their own cars. This is like the 3rd time I've seen them do it in the last 10 years.
So the Venza only gets nine speakers in the RAV4 gets 11 with the JBL which in your opinion sounds better between those two excluding the crown
Thank you but can you compare XLE crown .I’m most likely getting their eCVT crossover vs Honda..But I’m leaning towards RAV4
The Signia looks modern - the RAV looks dated, inside and out. RAV will be new soon, so it will be interesting to make the comparison next year.
How much of difference if the tested RAV4 was limited model?
I’d love to see you guys compare the 2025 ford explorer and 2025 Lincoln aviator.

Rav 4 , better fuel eco, more practical, more cargo space, more space rear seats
But built in America instead of Japan.

imagine if Toyota is planning on replacing all vehicles with crown vehicles to increase price.
Also, I know that the Crown signia is meant to be a hybrid compact crossover but it’s the length of a Midsize SUV
Pssst, it's actually a wagon. That's why it's so long and short! You just can't call it that in America because people won't buy them, so of course it's marketed as another crossover/SUV.
Toyota should fire whoever priced Signia 50k+. It's crazy..
Is the Crown wheelbase about the same length as the last gen Avalon it replaced?
The question I have is getting in and out the same between the two as easy on hips and legs with height off the ground? I can't seem to find anyone that talks about that compared to ltes say a Camry which sits much lower
We plan to compare Rav4 Prime vs the Signia for our next vehicle. Any thoughts on that comparison?
yes, please! I'm intrigued
You should have compared Crown with Lexus NX
Toyota Crown Signia - Over $51,000 NOT including the "stealership" markup, no HUD, and it looks more like a wagon than an SUV.
You would be better off buying an NX 350h.
They should upgrade interior of Rav 4 that looks Thousands year old
I was particularly interested in the comparison of the rear cargo space. But the way you presented it was completely useless. !
Toyota crown signia
Signia should compare with NX or RX rather than RAV4
51k...you could get a Rav4 prime for that...I don't see any reason to go signia. Rav4 XSE or limited Hybrid is perfect.
Why are you doing this? XSE vs Limited? Why?
Where is the next gen Rav4?
Signia has more rear leg room than the RAV4 … less headroom tho.. just get the specs of A Crown sedan .. would’ve been more accurate than the unofficial stuff
I had an Avalon limited and traded for a RAV4 XLE Limited. I had decided to trade for a new RAV4 Limited because I missed some features. Drove a Lexus Rx350, that was a mistake. I really wanted to buy it, but fully equipped hybrid was over 60k. Local dealer finally got a Signia, it’s the best of both worlds for me. Love my Bronze Age beauty and don’t miss the HUD for the price difference.
The Signia is delayed and there won’t be a tone made, so GLWT anyway. 😂
Any updates on the 2025 rav4 hybrid Thanks
Rav4 is look better
