You mentioned two things that I would really love. Not deal breakers for me but it sure would complement the luxury image.
No HUD, no power tilt and telescoping wheel, no 5th gen hybrid (like the new Camry has) and about $10k more than my 2022 Venza Limited. It's currently not offered for sale as there are issues Toyota needs to deal with. I'll keep my Venza for now :)
Toyota is spoiled right now
You're not gaining anything really, yup. This IS just a reskinned Venza. Not a true new-generation vehicle. Just brand homogeneity.
@@devongee1776it's not a reskinned Venza. It sits much lower than the Venza and the RAV4. It's more of a wagon.
And I heard no parking sensors. But it is a nice looking car and lots of other great features.
Had not heard of any pre-sale issues. Are they airbag related like the TX and GH?
I can’t imagine that gloss black on the outside will age very well
It depends on how it’s done. I worked in the collision repair industry most of my life. If it’s painted like a black vehicle with clear coat it would be just fine. If it’s just the crap that they typically use, you are absolutely right, especially if the car is not garage.
It would be nice to see a 0-60 time measurement. I see that every year, you increase your review skills and this would add a more comprehensive feel to your reviews.
Excellent review and happy Friday! (Gotta hate the bugs though)
Good job guys. You’re very good at what you do. Can’t wait for the 2026 outback. I’ll check here first. ❤️🌵
Thank you! 😊
Brilliant review guys.
Great job guys & I'm considering buying this.
It needs adaptive (turn) headlights, 4 way lumbar, power tilt/tele wheel, HUD, passanger 2 way lumbar, puddle lamps (standard on Limited), 360 cam (also standard on Limited), rear seat tilt, maybe even slide, 3 stage rear heated seats, Household plug in 2nd row, better carrgo lighting, etc. Maybe also a larger battery- 3K.
That’s a Lexus😬
dream on
If there is a market niche not being met, SOMEONE will fill it.
@@FlowerChild95 the Venza has quite a few of those features.
@@djplonghead5403 in japan new venza is just toyota harrier in japan , bud sadly in US market that venza just discontinued and repalced by this crown signia, but in japan toyota harrier didnt discontinued and all crown series sold there such as crown sedan RWD (crown sedan in america is crossover FWD not RWD) and crown sport
Love your videos! Would you mind sharing what microphones you use for recording? Your audio is so clear and I need better microphones for my videos. Thanks!
Thank you! We use the Rode Wireless Go 2 and have been very satisfied with them
Venza sales skyrocket after folks learn about price of a replacement rise by 30%. Toyota really wants to keep it a niche car with low sales numbers
Nothing else in the 45-55k range has this size interior, this good of mpg and this nice combined
Really appreciate the sound measures as that is extremely important to me. Crown Signa looks good in comparison. Only thing that you didn't mention was towing ability?
I would love to know how well the heated and ventilated seats work. Yes, the vehicle has them but are they any good? I keep hearing that the Honda Accord Touring seats ventilation is poor.
Thank for the review, interesting vehicle.
Hmm, idk, this car steps on Lexus’ toes a bit too much. I’d rather go for a Lexus NX that has a lower starting price than this, or get the RX that starts just above the top end price of the crown signia. I’m left kind of confused about who the target audience is for this vehicle. It’s too expensive for what it is…a Toyota station wagon. Also, haven’t they tried the station wagon like crossover approach with the first gen Venza? That didn’t work out too well from what I remember. At least the exterior is attractive (at least in my eyes).
Finally a car which I can buy in 2047. Because nothing will be available before that.
I probably will be dead by then! I’d be 91
No heads up display venza had that feature.
Who cares
@@sammydavis991 Venza ....full size spare Betcha care about that ?
Looks nice, but the engine noise seems pretty obnoxious. Toyota seems to be bad about keeping their engines quiet when they are working hard.
True; it's in large part due to direct injection.
What is the cargo area depth, with the rear seats up? And what is the distance between the ground and the base of the cargo floor area (i.e. lifting something from the ground into the hatch/cargo area)?
I only hope that the driver’s seat will raise sufficiently without killing the leg room. I am 5’5” and typically raise the seat quite high. In my present vehicle the seat actually goes forward as you raise it and I barely have enough leg room. I cannot imagine someone taller getting comfortable. But then they probably won’t raise the seat. I feel much safer when I can see out to my liking.
How is the sound system?
This is nice but at the time that this video is posted, toyota is not selling these Crown Signias basically until further notice to do more safety test since a lot of other new toyota models are on a stop sell list due to various different reasons.
but i heard those cases only on TX and GH which is made in american toyota factory but all the crown series are made in japan, so it will be different case, eventhough toyota century SUV using TX or GH chassis but still, they producing thr century SUV only in japan (made in japan)
Does that link work up in Canada? I am a little disappointed there is no spare tire.
Do we really need 21in" wheels on premium trims? Is that what most people want? Rougher ride, tires wear out faster, etc.
I bet this wagon is quite attractive in person!
Is that a new color or is that the supersonic red metallic?
A plugin version will be best, but the regular hybrid will do. The problem is they are not available in any dealers lots.
It’s very nice! I like the red
It looks like a sleek station wagon. Its low like a station wagon with the Venza rear end, which I don't like. The back end is why I wasn't interested in the Venza.
So it got me thinking why they are discontinuing the Venza. Maybe the segment was too crowded style wise with the Ford Escape, Edge, Chevy Equinox, up coming Kia EV3 and WAY kut of it's range the Jaguar F-pace etc thus they decided to build something different.
A station wagon.
It's apparent Lexus keeps cannibalizing ALL of Toyota vehicles and makes rhem more premium leaving little for Toyota aside from two Suv's. The Rav4 and Highlander. That's it. While Lexus has every option available in Toyotas inventory.
I feel Toyota frustration with coming up with something that doesn't infringe on Lexus NX to it's RX sales.
I wish they would have kept the Venza in it's line up as empty nesters don't want a Rav4 but need a somewhat luxurious small suv that isn't in Lexus pricing. The Venza hit the spot.
The Crown will be too big for 50 or so retired people.
Having said that they should put a V6 hybrid in it to give it a little more American muscle. Then that would be a yuppie hauler coming full circle for us 50+ crowd growing up with station wagons with beastly v8's that could haul a nice trailer.
The 4 cylinder hybrid works in a Venza not sure about the Crown signa.
Love to hear your thoughts on this.
Just my two cents.
Cheers.
Fun fact : in japan new venza is just toyota harrier in japan , but sadly in US market that venza just discontinued and repalced by this crown signia, but in japan toyota harrier didnt discontinued and all crown series (sedan RWD , crossover, crown sport and crown this crown signia ) sold there, and i heard that there is the good thing is in japan that there is no markup but the waiting list for "crown sport" reaching 1 year waiting due to the massive demand
Where is the crown sport???
In Japan.
@@michaels3003 only in Japan??
@@muhammadharits3237 , there are speculations for Europe in 2025, but I cannot find anything reliable on this topic. Best guess is that Toyota management is not sure what to do.
It looks eerily similar to the upcoming Chevy Equinox EV. Seriously... it's kind of weird. (Pull them up side by side and you see what I mean.) Anyway, I don't much like the grill, but otherwise it looks ok. $43k seems a bit pricey though. That's literally the same price as a Grand Highlander, which is significantly larger. Yes, I realize it's a hybrid or whatever and has nicer features, but still.
That e-CVT would grind on me..just too loud.
Wait for a comparison with the Lexus RX or NX.
Nice review, except I don't trust men with name tags :) Come on Drew!
Will Trade my Venza once I put 400k km on it ..
THIS CAR WILL OVERHEAT
Mason and Drew do a great job on these auto reviews.. The Signia is nice, but it still has a major problem of having a very low roofline - just like the Venza and RAV4. Drew and Mason are both roughly 5' 8"-ish, and it looks like they both barely fit inside, but with very little headroom to spare. It would be hard to recommend the Signia to anyone over about 5' 8".. Not sure why Toyota can't come out with a SUV with a taller roof that has good outward visibility and comfort. This Crown Signia is really just a wagon or hatchback.. It has a very low roofline, and like the Venza with its lower roof - this low roof results in poor outward in all directions. Not good for safe driving or driving enjoyment.. and a lower roofline gives this Crown a low caved in feeling, and cramped interior (same problem that the Venza had). It would be a really nice if they would have made it an SUV by raising the roof about 3" to 4" inches.. That would improve outward visibility, driving enjoyment, and make the cabin much more comfortable and airy. Maybe Toyota can finally correct this problem by adding a Toyota Signia SUV with a 3" to 4" higher roof. That would be a great SUV.
Thanks!
Or perhaps Honda or Mazda will. :)
This is not an SUV. It's a wagon...and a big expensive one at that. Same length as the current Highlander but 6 inches shorter in height. Toyota doesn't even put privacy glass on the rear windows because it's a wagon. The Crown Signia is an interesting car, but not compelling enough to seriously consider for most buyers. Most will choose a Highlander over this as the Highlander is simply a better value.
this car is an alternatif for people who want to buy a lexus but the budget didnt get there
Love wagons, very excited for this car.
Uh. No way
I like it, but it sounds like my old 2 cycle LawnBoy lawnmower. Yikes.
Was there an Embargo date?
Why post this video when there is a Stop Sale on Toyota products
Toyota had a very long embargo delay due to production being pushed back. We filmed this review about 3 months ago.
guys is this worth buying
I'm trying to figure out what is different/unique or upscale with this car? the front looks like the prius/new camry and the back looks like an outdated corolla cross! so can somebody elaborate as to what is unique about this car?
back looks like the old venza design
This car is so good
Toyota Land
Looks like Ferrari pursosangue especially the headlights
Kind of
The crown sport looks more like it 😂
@@ItsMeCJ yeah I agree
Remove the tariff, bring in more competitions, and you will be amazed at what you can buy from Chinese brands for $25k.
I heard Toyota Corolla hybrid OTD price in China is discounted more than 30%, now less than 19k CAD or 14K USD.
All car makers are taking advantages of North American buyers. No competition, they can charge us whatever they want, that is why you see 30k Corolla or 75k truck.
Here in Ontario Canada, you will be thankful if the dealer "only" charges you 1k above MSRP and can get you a Hybrid RAV4 within a year.
This is ridiculous.
trash!
I can’t stand that front grill. Toyota go back to your roots! 😂
What roots? Toyota’s design language evolves like every other brand.
@@sammydavis991 it’s my opinion and I’ll stick to it. Their new designs suck.
Crown Sport> Signia. Toyota needs to bring that model to the states. This ain't it. Its very underpowered, doesn't look as good.
It wouldn’t sell as well in the states
傻眼==
Toyota Lexus overlapping more than ever
Still not a fan of the CVTs in general
this is not your mother's CVT!
Nah, I'll keep the Venza limited. Signia: way less amenities in the top trim. No hud, no power steering, no 4 way lumbar, no puddle lamps, less powerful radio (800w vs 1200), almost 2" less ground clearance, no spare...for about 8k more. Also those 21" rims are ridiculous, terrible in the east coast or midwest. I have no idea why you would get either Crown over a Camry, since neither is really comparable to the Venza, which is a true CUV, where both the Crowns are just cars.
Inferior Venza
Venza looks like a boomer-mobile.
Less ground clearance is a good thing.
Toyota won’t give you all the features, they don’t need to since people still buy them.
I mean their own venza has more features than this for much cheaper and the price is competing with some high trim grand Highlander which has a third row so this vehicle is in a very weird spot even in Toyota own lineup
Granted the venza is leaving this year but there’s still a couple more months of it
On a positive note, I am glad a wagon is back on the market. The front end is just atrocious, the lighting elements are lackluster, and it looks like zero thought went into it. No fogs, no static cornering. The single projector housing is not a good look. Another boring rear light bar and the cheap integrated signals and brakes are so lazy. The interior is not much of anything really. Boring with no trim detail, and not very premium. Overall it is a very poor replacement for the Venza.
ECVTs sound so weird. I’m sure they work fine but it’s so weird to not hear a car shifting gears.
Whoever designing the grill should get fired it’s garbage
fixed panoramic because toyota has had major problems with all their previous panoramic roofs
The Venza 1.0 seems fine in that department.
For that price, i can buy a really nice Honda Pilot. This car is not worth more than 42k in my opinion
A RAV4 Prime has most of the stuff this has and then some
It would have been much more beautiful if it had been in the shape of the old model 2022 , but now it is very ugly 💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔
Putting the reverse light down there is just stupid. its hard to notice.
Hard No. With that price, I'll buy lexus for a way better dealership experience.
That sounds like a you problem than an issue with Toyotas.
@dllemm My comment was about toyota's dealership experience. Not toyota brand. If the price and size of the model are close enough, then I'll pick lexus just because of the dealership experience. That was my point. They are both great brands, as we all know.
🧀🍷
Ain’t no way I’m getting my cake factory in that car boo boo! Just a boring old Toyota that’s overpriced and won’t even get you a taste of any donkalicious yams!!!! Pass!!!!!
This is gonna sell like hotcakes if they can build enough of them
Ehh... I'm sure it will do fine... but the price is a bit high and may hold it back a little.
😂 overpriced
Toyota Cross😂
This vehicle is being delayed by Toyota. 😮
Yes. Heard that on Kirk K pod…
21” wheels makes for rubber band like tires on what’s supposed to a wagon type vehicle. LOOKS nice. But Does that make sense 🤔
And no spare to boot ???
@@kenfrankel3498 yep, crazy how most hybrids have no spare.
@@magnoliap5824 What’s really strange to me is that the new Camry line ( all 4 versions are hybrid only) does offer a 16” wheel providing a softer ride with that thicker rubber . Yet this beautiful new wagon with a 21” wheel has no spare. Very unforgiving ride on a rough road. For Northeast winter driving that’s not a very comforting setup.
Who put a donuts in center console 😂
차체가 너무낮아 도시형이지 레져용은 아니야
Better off buying a rav4 hybrid instead.
Poor Drew, always getting reminded he's an inch shorter than his brother.
Every. Single. Day. LOL
Over priced keep it
I just don't like that station wagon, Signia. I would prefer the Venza over the Signia. The Signia looks like a very large station wagon, very bland looking, very large looking. I don't need something so large. I will take the Venza instead, or would move to the RX Lexus. The Signia is so long, it won't fit in my garage anyhow. So, it's a definite NO WAY for me!
Typical boring toyota design thats the same for their every single car. Would rather own a Mazda
