Saw it in Japan in April, it's a great looking sedan. Love your car reviews, Sarah - nobody else is gonna lift it up, go over in depth and measure the sway-bar like you! You have all the know-how of someone who rebuilds cars and make it fun, keep up the great content, thanks!
GREAT LOOKING SEDAN! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I am old enough to remember the "glory" days of the Crown in Australia & the reasons why they were well received. In spite of all the tech on this version I suspect there are some older Toyota engineers who must love how close this is to the original models & how the market segment has not changed!
"I'm dressed like Mario, aren't I?" LOL... Love the randomness Sarah. I can never anticipate anything ya ever say, but always appreciate the laughs.
Love the outfit
14:1 compression and 0W-8 oil, imagine going back in time and dazzling a 1953 auto trades class with the technical highlights of this Toyota. It would be mind bending.
That headlight shot when the car was going up the lift 👍
I noticed that, too. Sarah's quite the videographer!
I noticed that too. It's little things like that (and her humor) that make these enjoyable to watch.
^ Came here to say this
Great review, Sarah. It's really cool to see the Crown name come back to the US. I also appreciate your love of animals, in pointing out the horned toad you found out in the desert. As always, keep up the great work.
Great job on the video Sarah! Thanks for making it.
Your car reviews are unique and informative as well as entertaining and cheery. A car person will have a better day after watching one of your reviews.
Love your videos, Sarah, especially when you bring out the foam finger.
Suggestion: When you give it the beans (from a dead stop) mention when the vehicle reaches 60mph so us viewers (ie peeps) can time it. Or perhaps you could put this 0-60 time in the video.. Just a thought, keep up the amazing work Sarah!
Just because a vehicle "has beans" doesn't mean it HAS MUCH ELSE!
So glad you did this review. Where Doug called it a "weird decision" and an "SUV-ish sedan", you got into the mechanicals of it, as you do.
Sarah, we need a compilation video of all your braking tests, now that would be fun to watch ;)
同意します❣️びっくりした時の顔からの笑顔が最高ですね。
Indeed
Hello eco girl, you are always worth 100%! Thank you for testing a sedan... even a quasi lifted sedan! Too bad we don't get the full range of Crown models like in the domestic Japanese market. Really 12th artemis for the score !
must have been really hard. Great review like always.
I always like how mother nature sends some friends to appear in your videos.
Fun fact: "Camry" means crown so we've actually had a Toyota Crown in North America all along.
Lol, no way that’s wild!
@@SarahnTuned Kanmuri is Japanese for crown
Clever sneaking it in the back way 😎
Toyota has more crown derivatives than Olds had cutlasses back in the day
The previous generation Crown in Japan had multiple variations:
1. Base model (V6)
2. Crown Athlete (V6)
3. Crown Hybrid (V6)
4. Crown Majesta (V8)
And the Crown Majesta has four sub-variants!
@SarahnTuned Actually Corolla is Latin for little crown. Avalon is the final resting place for King Arthur. Kiichiro Toyoda had a thing for crowns.
Sarah, I’m always impressed when you tell us all the tech data.
I’m not sure if you’re reading it or not (and that doesn’t matter) it’s just so fluid and precise.
❤ Mrs Mario Outfit btw.
😍I always enjoy your akward and silliness in your videos😍 youre doing a great job keeping people engaged :)
"For the first time in half a Century" at 0:20 was a solid big Toyota pun straight outta the gate.
I really don't think it was intended though 😊
Its really been just about exactly 50 yrs since the Crown was available in the US!
Unintentional puns still count! They're better, in a way.
I'm still adjusting to the new normal as far as new car pricing. I'll get over it at some point. Nice Review!
I'd get obsessed with the "eco" gauge and hope that one can turn it off or to another setting. Great review Mario!
Im happy brands are bringing their domestic products into the mainland….can’t wait for more
I STILL PREFER OLDER "mainland" VEHICLES to ASIAN "toys"!
I have the platinum one with 400 lb*ft of tq / 340 hp. I love it. Unfortunately someone failed to yield and I had a green and my car is now likely totaled, after only having it for three weeks! 😭 I miss it, best car I ever owned.
Sad!
Was that the white one? And now waiting for a new Crown?
Excellent review and video. I really hope you will get to test drive the Crown sport one day. Keep our fingers crossed.
Dad had a crown like the old one shown. His was a 1970, I think.
I remember as a youngster thinking that it was pretty upper-end compared to most Japanese cars.
My '19 mazda 3 has a floor vin like that too. Thanks Sarah and algo's
Nice review Sarah. I really like how Toyota does things.
Great review... as always.
Great and honest review. Question - do the auto manufacturers ever complain when the scores you give are not as high as they think they sound be?
No, nor would I care if they did. I feel 99% of journalists over inflate their numbers when they give scores and it ruins the appeal of a truly high number.
Sarah i. I paused it on the front suspension. The sway bar and the way it contours around the awesome lower strut , spring coil combo.
And the wheels clean cool and duct air to the calipers. Ah, Magnifique’. .👌
Happy Humpday Sarah!!
They actually re paved that road?! It was super bumpy the last time I took my car out there.
Great review as per usual.
Stay excellent!!!😎
Cool reviews !
Another excellent review and whatever color lipstick Sarah is wearing is 🔥
Great review. You look fantastic!
Thanks for another cool video Sarah 🐧
Stationed in Okinawa and mainland Japan, the Crown (family of cars) was an everyday sighting. Cop cars, taxis, even US Government sedans were usually Crowns, and the newer body styles popular for VIP customs, or 'Bippo". I was really concerned about this new one, having only ever seen the strange looking 2-Tone until now, but this Monochromatic version is not bad! Thanks for putting your all into another review, Sarah!
Back in the late seventies my friend got a crown, think it was a sixtynine bout the size of a four door Nova or falcon but with overhead Cam six dual carbs,split exhaust manifold for True dual exhaust, Best of All a four on the floor. We had a Lot of fun with that...looked a lot like the at the beginning of the video 👍
96. Great score Sarah !!!! The best part was when the screen said 12 th attempt :0. That’s hilarious. :)
To no surprise the best review I have seen on this car - much more in-depth than a certian Doug did it... Also; been away from youtube for some days now - my oh my, was I missing my daily dose of Sarah-content... also-also - I think you enjoy saying "squid-score" as much as I enjoy hearing you say it!😅 Thank you for what you do and Stay Awesome!
Thanks for reviewing this car.
Sara, You are Amazing ! Car evaluations, restorations, and custom builds. I love it all. Please do a Jeep !
Kinda tought you were going for the Mario look to be honest. 😂 Great video as always.
Great review 😂, very excited too😂.
Great review
I recently parked next to a 10th gen Hardtop Toyota Crown that someone obviously imported. From a distance I thought it was an LS400 until I got closer. Pretty cool to see out in the wild.
my first car was a 1971 toyota crown , when i lived in Australia!
I've had a '24 Platinum for about two weeks and I love it. With the extra HP it has plenty of beans but delivers them without a lot of noise. It's the first car I've ever had that at highway speed you can hear the ac blowing and that's about it. Not as fuel efficient as the Limited but a great car.
Awesome review Sarah! Quick note, there is actually two electric motors in the front transaxle. Cheers!
Finally a Toyota sedan that doesn't look like a boring box! Thanks for the great review as always Sarah 😍
ps: it'd be a great addition if you'd test acceleration and breaking with a tool
That's not nice calling Angel Foodcake a tool. 😂
Yes, who are you suggesting for the tool ? 😂 Or are you volunteering ?
Which album? I’m a bit partial to Ænima myself.
@@ramblerdave1339 I'd gladly volunteer if I was closer.
Please no measuring like that. If I want specs I'll read the brochure.
Great job Mario! Props for mentioning Gran Turismo!
I love your tattoo! I know, not car related, but it's really pretty and very cool. im getting my second, and first big tattoo, in a few days :)
The Crown returns. Great look.
Thanks Sarah, you have got to be the hardest working U-tuber, we hope you are taking care of yourself. Central California watching
I got the 2024 Max and love it!
Hi Bert! Excellent Sesame Street reference 😊
better late than never? Thank you, Sarah!
Hey Sarah, definitely an interesting car and great review as always I never knew the crown was available in the US. I knew they had a top-of-the-line car back in the 80s called the Cressida. Don’t know if that was another name for the crown or it’s just another model. hoping you’ll get the manual supra soon I’m sure you are too. Hopefully one will come your way. Have a great one.🐧🐧🐧👍
The Cressida was (slightly) smaller than the Crown, but it did replace the Crown in the US.
At the time, the Crown was actually a body-on-frame car, the Cressida was a unibody
just gotta luv it when you do the "sound test "
for E cars . But , they do sound like something tho'.
whoops ! hybrid , nice , like 'em .
12:08 Nothing is wrong woth your outfit, it looks nice. Great car review as always Sarah.
never knew of this model , looks cool
excellent review. Like Top Gear, i watch even if I'm not interested in the car in question. that's entertainment!
I don't know what is it about this car but I love it
fun review
Thank you for sharing the breath!
I sure mis my father's 91 Cressida. ...that was a nice car, father worked for the forklift division of Toyota, that was his company car.
The "B" mode on the gearlever should give you more regenerative braking.
Might get you that coveted 100% score.
03:38 I'm glad you went back to the yellow pointy-finger, Sarah. It's so much easier to see against dark backgrounds than the red one. 👆☺
0W-8 motor oil? Isn't that just water with a little vegetable oil mixed in?
I really love your consistent approach, with real feelings. 😎
Sarah, your OCD was fully on display during the game play. Fun and cute!
I love the Crown ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Great review again! Looking forward to your review of the new Tacoma!
I wasn’t invited to the launch event, no review on it coming.
Another nice piece of engineering from Toyota. A hud system would be nice. I feel bad for your yellow finger pointy thingy...I hope it feels better. My company uses thinner oil on the Ford engines......oil change around
2000k...........we get 500,000k out of the engines that way. Sarah....the colour red so suits you.
6:42 Sarah goes up a gear in talk!!
Just the greatest 😊♥️
@ᴍᴇꜱꜱᴀɢᴇ ᴍᴇ ᴏɴ ᴛᴇʟᴇɢʀᴀᴍ👉@THE_SARAH_N_TUNED The real Sarah has little time for your nonsense!
Nice "Vogue" moves on the wheel, Sarah!
Spitting up my drink! 😂 @8:25
I just gotta say I love the look of the crown.
So, it's basically a super-sized, AWD, somewhat contemporary looking prius.
Cool!
We love you (all the time) when you’re playing the eco game🎉
I had no idea this was a hybrid and now since you reviewed it it's not bad looking. I wonder if they make the eco challenge hard on purpose
I loved the original crown it looks so gangster great vid Sarah
27th view properly early for once. Not bad 23:32 here nice. Love an all wheel drive even if it’s electric.
Needing to scratch my hot hatch itch! Car review is keeping it in check for now.
@ᴍᴇꜱꜱᴀɢᴇ ᴍᴇ ᴏɴ ᴛᴇʟᴇɢʀᴀᴍ👉@THE_SARAH_N_TUNED The real Sarah has little time for your nonsense!
Battery in the right side of the trunk. Thumbs up Toyota.
I'm happy Sarah is reviewing cars instead of Mini-Vans.
Fun review Sarah, loved it, clear though the that Toyota build this down to a price which is a shame
My 2019 Compass Trailhawk has a VIN under the front passenger floormat, complete with a plastic cover. I thought it was interesting too.
I think Toyota has made the ultimate "daily driver"
40 MPG, Room for 5 and their stuff, $40-50k, which is the average price of a new car, quietly luxurious and easy to use, and built by Toyota. It even gives you an elevated seating position.
I think the 1984 Fiero with the Iron Duke also got 40 miles per gallon.
Ill keep my Ecoboost 6 speed Mustang as a cool daily driver, but this is a really cool super sized prius for sure.
I will never understand why tbe Prius gets so much hate, its the perfect car for non car people:) and now you can get one in a full size package.....😊
New toyotas and "luxury" is opposite! Suspension is sheet - especially compare to germans or volvo. Interior boring and cheap- no different color styles combinates, no natural materials- cheap "eco". Noise isolation is average, no acoustic glass etc. Worse than mazda, and much worse than bmw, volvo, audi, mersedes.
At the cost of less headroom than the Camry.
Quiet and luxurious also describes the v6 Camry XLE and XSE
@@andrewcherry3330 Toyotas with the 3.5l v6 are very quiet though
Sarah's "Not bad." is a secret message which translates to slow AF acceleration in this case. Sarah, secret message received. Tango Yankee. Wrench onward.
hey i like your outfit it is cute just like you ,plus your energy is very spunky. the odd things you randomly say are cute and funny. by the way where are the pinguins those guys are cute and quirky.
keep up the awesome videos.
This model needs a TRD version... and a lift kit to make it Baja ready 🤪
Cool ! I love this idea 💡👍
Then it would become the Crown Athlete, which the name of the Crown's sport variant in Japan.
Did the tire move on the rim during the braking test? The yellow dot appears to have shifted away from the valve stem.
I didn’t know Hoover was in the the exhaust game? Lol 2:12
I would have given that Toyota voice the Star Trek command "This is Sarah - initiate destruct sequence 1 code 1 1A." and waited to see what happens.
Damn, I didn't know I wanted this.
Can you do a video on carpeted liners?
Haven't had this model in Australia for decades
The Car And You Look Awesome 😍
Very nice videos you make with those perfect nails
Did you mention MPG? I watch twice and I still missed it. I’m having a Sarah moment. 😂
I did, and it was displayed on the video in text as well.
Love that outfit!
