What a gorgeous vehicle. My only complaint (many cars do this today) is that electronic shifter. In 2018 we had a choice of buying (narrowed it to two vehicles) a BMWS X3 or RAV4 XLE Hybrid. As soon as I saw that electronic shifter in the BMW I said no. The 18 RAV4 was the last year of the shifter with the "indents. Easy choice. Love that shifter. No mistake of what gear I am in plus I have the pull up emergency brake. THE BEST! In my opinion the 18 RAV4 was the greatest RAV4 made.
Greetings from southern Ontario Canada I really enjoyed the video I am looking forward to the phev option coming in the next generation thanks for the presentation
The Crown does show the new design direction of the brand. It’s amazing how similar it looks in theme to the EV bZ4X. I agree the Camry will look more like this, and because it slots below the Crown in the lineup it will be cheaper.
Good luck getting one. Have you seen the lots at Toyota dealers? They're empty... plus the cars cost 😢 like 40% more now. Forget buying a new car anytime soon. Who cares about the new Clown, I mean Crown. This is the worst I've seen the auto industry ever. They will implode eventually.
@@GTGarageTalk Fleet Sales. Not consumers. Actually, the repossessions are getting out of control. Have you seen interest rates? Add that to these ridiculous prices and its a recipe for disaster. The dealers are in trouble.
Thank you for parking the Crown and Accord next to each other. Very helpful. Crown looks much more premium.
I couldn’t resist.

Those electronic shifters aren’t my fav either.
Can't go into the wrong gear with this Prius like shifter.

Greetings!
Thanks for watching.
Nice car and nice review - thank you
Thanks for watching
What color is this? Either the Heavy Metal or the deeper grey color they have? And thanks for the great review!
Heavy Metal
How would you compare in-cabin noise and driving comfort to the new accord?
It felt ever so polished compared with the accord. Like a Lexus.
Nice to see cloth seats in a premium car
And they were the most premium cloth seats I’ve yet to experience.
It is basically lazy boy cloth for the seats. They are very nice!
@@djplonghead5403yes its not cheap cloth. i dont know why everybody wants leather 😏
According to other automobile websites the 2025 camry will look like the crown but less expensive? What is your opinion?

I don't understand why Toyota didn't make this a lift back.
Same.
its supposed to be a sedan even tho it may look like a l/b
The trunk is big anyway.
@@msullivan3531 it is large, but only slightly larger than the Camry. 15.2 cubic feet in the Crown, 15.1 in the Camry
@@GTGarageTalk I just test drove one today! I’m coming from a mini countrymen so I guess it’s all relative!
The cut out in the rear is horrible. Hope a Camry redesign is coming soon
It is coming soon.
Wheres the battery pack located in the vehicle?
Under the rear seat
Why would you own a Chevy or Kia?
For many reasons:
Style, price, power, feature set, warranty, dealer network
People who wear “crowns” don’t have cloth seats …. 💅🏼
Lol. Good point.

It’s actually on the way back. Many auto makers are reporting record years.

It is actuall the opposite with the Crown. Dealers have a lot of them. They are giving massive discounts on them.
