I’m glad they offer a car with no sunroof. Everyone of my cars has had a sunroof. I never use it. Increased body rigidity and quieter not to mention nobody will smash it to break into the car. You’re a hard-working guy there. Keep it up. You’re doing great. Appreciate you.
To each their own, but I wish sunroofs were never standard, always an option. The extra heat, the extra noise, the extra leak potential…we had a new BMW 528 that the sunroof stuck open on. Great. Prefer not to have one at all. When does the Crown hit the lots?
@RealKevGotEm I've only had one car with a sunroof and that was a while ago. I miss having one during summer even though I only had it open at night 😆.
XLE has no sun roof and fewer speakers. I’m ok with that bought an XLE a few weeks ago. BTW was a smoother ride than RAV4 and I like the style of the crown more than the Lexus.
I gotta say this: even if you keep zonking the rear wiper being at the low position instead of being tucked under the rear spoiler, you must realize that car designers putting it in the lower position means there is more of the important bottom area of the back window being cleaned for safety. Putting the wiper in the top position only clears and cleans the lowest middle point of the sweep.
Lexus RX doesn’t even have those standard, only heated. You gotta pay even more to upgrade to the luxury to get the rears. The model Y has these at base which is kinda sad
@@melanieaayoungnot sure what’s happening there, it is standard though. Looking at the climate control console he’s missing the button… Maybe this was a pre pro model used the reviews??
I hope Toyota steps up the graphics on the UI, it’s a little thing, but everything is flat and super basic… The UI in the Venza was way better with shading and depth. You do get a lot more customization in the Crown, but the art aspect of it has really dropped in quality. Feels incomplete.
I have a Rav4 hybrid and I am annoyed by the cabin noise, the only reason I am wanting to upgrade is less cabin noise and slightly bigger display and handling. i think one should always consider noise inside your cabin while buying a new vehicle, and also all the reviewer should also consider talking about it.
@stevenkreiss2113 The Buick Envision Avenir. I've loved those for a few years now and especially like the new refresh front end and interior. I'm a GM guy so either the Buick or Equinox will be my next car.😁
@lightsfansofthewest481 I've had a few chevys now and haven't had issues. My 2015 has 155,000 miles on it and just because of the mileage I put a new timing chain, balancing chain, and serpentine belt in it. Thr transmission just started to hold on to low gear but it's not terrible. I figure getting that much use out of a car is good considering I don't usually keep them this long.
Joe can you please give us the price of the higher models when you are reviewing a base model. I don’t care about this particular car but just in general it’s nice to know the price range of the product range for the car.
There does seem to be some overlap in the Toyota lineup. There isn't anything wrong with the Rav 4 I might would go with that. I am thinking about the lack of memory seats in the XLE Crown.
Crown Sedan is actually sold in Japan, what we have since last year is a wagon? Crossover? But the actual Crown Sedan in Japan is amazing looking like Lexus LS.
I don't want a sunroof so that is a plus for the XLE. Not even a standard sized sunroof. If you keep the vehicle long term and the sunroof starts leaking you'll be sorry you have a sunroof. They can be problematic.
You left out 2 important objections from my perspective: only 6.7 inches ground clearance compared to my 3.6R Outbak, wich has 8.7 inches, and no spare tire!
That is true, the Subaru's are great cars. Two points for the Crown Signia is that it's a hybrid and the ECTV transmission does not use the pulley / chain system . It uses planetary gears and have been bullet proof for the life of the car since they started putting them in the Prius since 1996. You are right about the clearance though.
I agree: the monotone, dark interior of the Crown sedan turned me off completely. Went with a Lexus ES instead (which still has the 300,000 mile six-cylinder engine, too!).
On the Toyota website, it says that both the XLE and Limited have heated and ventilated front seats standard. Interesting that this one does not, perhaps pre-production?
This has quite a few misses in terms of product. For a premium product, doesn't have the latest gen5 hybrid, has almost all the parts to make it a plug-in but doesn't and hence drops the potential torque and power that can come with it, no hud, lower towing capacity
I believe in Japan they do have a PHEV version of this crown, I do find it weird it doesn’t have a HUD since it’s standard now for the sedan in 2025 models. Overall though, I still think it’s a very nice car, but I may wait a little for the next years model to see if there’s a little more change.
In Japan Toyota named it Crown Sports and 4wd cost only USD $36k. Why US version cost so much more? They are identical except slight bumper molding design. Both made in Japan.
I like the look, but I have heard that it’s using the previous generation hybrid system? Thought it’d be given the 5th gen system since it was released along the new Camry.
The current Venza has been around much longer (in Japan called the Harrier). They sell well in Japan, but didn't sell too well here. They will soldier on in Japan.
Note: Per the review I saw on another channel, this has no spare tire. Presently, the '24 RAV 4 does have a spare (and fog lights on most). Is this the Gen 5 hybrid system like they have in the '25 Camry? It is supposed to be more powerful without losing efficiency. (Judging by the 0-60, maybe it is.) I'm also waiting to see if the '25 RAV4 moves up to the Gen 5 system. Sounds like the gain on the Signia vs the RAV4 is a nicer interior and much improved handling/driving dynamics. Just watched a review of the RAV4 prime (XSE), and that tester did two 4-hour treks. She said the seats became uncomfortable after about 90 minutes. Those are things most testers don't get to test, nor do potential customers who might get a 30 minute test drive if they are lucky. Waiting for someone to spend less on a panoramic sunroof and more on better seats. Anyone know of a reasonably priced brand that has adjustable lumbar support for the PASSENGER? Seems to be a rarity.
Toyota is so fond of the "Crown"... Camry - from Japanese word Kanmuri = Crown Corolla - Latin for the crowning portion of the flower Corona - obviously meaning Crown Tiara - another Toyota crown trim/model in the 60s
Maybe they'll offer it in a Sport model when the refresh shows up. They've got to use what they've got manufacturing space for and likely figure anyone buying this isn't going to be drifting it.
6:32 why can't Toyota just stick with normal traditional Automatic gearbox ? At this point its all about cost cutting, and yet ,the car itself its not cheap. Its not your fault joe, you're just doing your job. For me i would Still go for the Mazda CX-5
Has nothing to do with cost cutting, you're wrong. The eCVT is far more efficient, smoother, and more durable than a torque convertor based auto. They are far better in hybrid applications. The Mazda CX-5 (while a very nice vehicle, we own a CX-9) is in a lower tier category than the Signia. You are not comparing Apple to Apples. Signia is a Lexus based higher tier vehicle, and is built in Japan.
You don't have an issue with 21 inch wheels? I find the fact that they look good is just not enough to counter all the negative aspects of having giant Heavy Wheels on your small vehicle
It isn't a CVT that is "reliable". It's an ECTV. It doesn't use the pulley and belt system which are CVTs. The ECTV uses "planetary gears" which Toyota has been making for 25 years in Hybrids and they are bullet proof for the life of the car which could be 300k. Never heard of a Prius needing a transmission and they've been around since 1996 and some have half a million miles on them.
Ratti looks a little tired this vid. Awesome review my guy. Hopefully your doing well. Shame even the standard crown doesnt come with upgrades. They really left it wanting more upgrades
Excellent review Joe! You know everything on the head I do disagree with you on the styling. I think the Venza looks much better and has more premium design elements. Just my opinion but love you love you love you man. Keep it up.❤
I haven’t driven a hybrid in years. Where I worked we had a couple Prius rental cars. I hated how they drove. I felt like I was driving a golf cart. The gasoline engine would start and the car would jerk. Hopefully the current ones are better than that. I’ll have to drive one when available to see if it’s tolerable. If not I’ll keep driving my 2018 CR-V.
I recently rented a 2025 Camry SE AWD on a week trip. Drove it 480 miles in mixed city and highway driving. Smooth and effortless. No herky jerky. You will not be disappointed with Toyota's modern hybrids. We also averaged 52.03 MPG on that trip. Needless to say I will be buying either a Camry XLE, or maybe bump up to a Signia.
@@truthserum5310 That’s encouraging to hear. I haven’t driven a hybrid since I retired 6 years ago. We had a large fleet of vehicles and an older Prius was in the group. I hated driving it.
I'm going to wait to see what they do with the RAV4 for for 2026. Opinions are split on whether Toyota's going to go more hammerhead or SR5 look. What would sell me on the crown signia is if they offered a sport model. Maybe one more inch of lift and little tighter suspension. Nothing crazy, would gladly trade slightly stiffer ride for more responsiveness.
Not sure if you mean high or low. A new Highlander gas model is 4k higher and it doesn't''t have the features. When my wife bought her gas Highlander in 19, is was 44k.
What is Toyota doing putting rod hood supports. They did that on the 2025 Camry with its steel hood. For the MSRP, they should offer hydraulic struts. And no JBL even as an option. It’s a CROWN! I could live without the sunroof or rails. This seems to be pitched for different demographics than the Crown sedan. MSRP was a nice surprise. Still in Venza territory.
What I wonder about with so many new headlight designs is how well do they work at night. I know you often have a limited amount of time with a vehicle but it would be nice to know how the vehicle works in the dark. Which brings me to another point, what is it about manufacturers who cheap out by not putting seat back pockets behind BOTH front seats and cheapen it further by not having rear HVAC controls. Surely it can not be that much of a cost issue if they simply did it as standard equipment across all trims.
I'm glad this a hybrid and not a full EV because I actually like it.
You don’t have to Worry about any other EVs from Toyota besides the BZ4x
That CVT though. 😔
@@victorvek5227 Not a regular CVT. This has an eCVT, which is simpler and far more reliable.
And it's made by toyota, the only company to make a reliable cvt so far@@lightsfansofthewest481

I really want a panoramic sunroof in my next vehicle but I worry about noise too. Do they really add that much road and wind noise?
To each their own, but I wish sunroofs were never standard, always an option. The extra heat, the extra noise, the extra leak potential…we had a new BMW 528 that the sunroof stuck open on. Great. Prefer not to have one at all. When does the Crown hit the lots?
@@PatrickJTezakI love my pano roof now my Volvo I got doesn’t have I hate it
@RealKevGotEm I've only had one car with a sunroof and that was a while ago. I miss having one during summer even though I only had it open at night 😆.
@@PatrickJTezak exactly. My Mazda CX 50 had it. Hated that one tho cause the center bar plays rattled and it never opened fully
I couldn't care less about a sunroof. The lack of a sunroof is the reason why I'd buy the XLE trim over the Limited trim.
What’s the difference between the 2 trims? Like what’s missing on the XLE?
XLE has no sun roof and fewer speakers. I’m ok with that bought an XLE a few weeks ago.
BTW was a smoother ride than RAV4 and I like the style of the crown more than the Lexus.

I’ve never even turned in a rear wiper.
I bought the XLE Signia and I love it.
If the "Crown" is a luxury brand, every Crown should have heated AND cooled seats
All Toyota sites say XLE has ventilated seats standard. What's going on here? It makes a difference living in AZ.
Lexus RX doesn’t even have those standard, only heated. You gotta pay even more to upgrade to the luxury to get the rears. The model Y has these at base which is kinda sad
The XLE DO have cooled and heated seats. it's STANDARD
@@melanieaayoungnot sure what’s happening there, it is standard though. Looking at the climate control console he’s missing the button… Maybe this was a pre pro model used the reviews??
I hope Toyota steps up the graphics on the UI, it’s a little thing, but everything is flat and super basic… The UI in the Venza was way better with shading and depth. You do get a lot more customization in the Crown, but the art aspect of it has really dropped in quality. Feels incomplete.
I have a Rav4 hybrid and I am annoyed by the cabin noise, the only reason I am wanting to upgrade is less cabin noise and slightly bigger display and handling. i think one should always consider noise inside your cabin while buying a new vehicle, and also all the reviewer should also consider talking about it.
I’m trying but I just don’t like the color matching mid grill area. It may look ok on black or gray but not white in my opinion.
This was my second favorite car at the Chicago auto show! Absolutely love it.
It really is a strand out for sure, especially in person.
What was your first?

Just bought mine yesterday, I Love it!!!
My mom just traded in her RAV4 for this one and she loves it.
How? They’re not even available yet? They’ve been postponed until the fall of this year.
Love the XLE as is except one thing... I wish there was a factory stereo upgrade option.
The XLE does come standard with ventilated front seats as well as driver's side memory seat per official Toyota web site.
Thanks for the heads up!
Are you sure because I didn’t see the extra seat thing other than the one for the heated seats on this video?
Do you know if it comes with power folding mirrors?
I just took delivery of a XLE model… I can confirm that it has front cooling and heated seats. Rear heated seats and driver memory seat.
@@TT-rk8miyes it does
When are these going to come on the lot?
This summer according to Toyota
Took it for a test drive , so much more comfortable than my current hybrid RAV4 , can’t wait to trade
I like the RX styling but I like the Crown dashboard since it has BUTTONS!!!
I guess it is the perfect blend for you!
My brother has a Crown and absolutely loves it!! Had no idea they had this beautiful suv coming out!! Excellent cars!!
Oh ow that is so great to hear!

Ventilated, not cooled. There is a difference.
This vehicle is about to be an absolute win for Toyota
I’m so glad that you think so!
Yep
Except it’s delayed. lol
I have a Toyota Camry 2011 without a sunroof and have never needed it. I dont mind a car company that gives me the option to have a sunroof or not
Got the 2012 camry hybrid. Love the sunroof. Use it as much as possible, problem free . Knock on wood.
You left out 2 important objections from my perspective: only 6.7 inches ground clearance compared to my 3.6R Outbak, wich has 8.7 inches, and no spare tire!
This gets way better fuel economy then any Subaru

@@topowkuil1937 Did you hear that somewhere?, or is it wishful thinking?
I prefer the 19" wheels and no sunroof of the XLE, but i need the 11 JBL Speakers of the limited. Whats a guy to do?
Yes of course Joe & I might buy this one day.
Liar.
They should have just called it a wagon … wish more would bring them back … this lowered a bit would be 🔥
Yeah because it pretty much is a wagon. They call it the "Crown Estate" in Europe and Japan so it pretty much is one.
Or raised a bit for an off-road version...
I love this.... I got a 2024 Venza and I think I'll be it trading it in for one of then in a few years.
Hey Joe just curious which is your favorite color on the Signia?
I agree: the monotone, dark interior of the Crown sedan turned me off completely. Went with a Lexus ES instead (which still has the 300,000 mile six-cylinder engine, too!).
Good call on that one.
Looks pretty good. The value factor is fine, if dealers dont get too greedy. Could be the "halo car" of the Crown line.
I think you hit the nail on the head!
On the Toyota website, it says that both the XLE and Limited have heated and ventilated front seats standard. Interesting that this one does not, perhaps pre-production?
Does it have a spare? Early reviews showed it didn't.
No, but there is a company that makes one, and there is a round area of the cargo area below the deck.
Looks good Joe ! Tell Toyota I said good job 👍. Comfy ride with great mpg !! 😃
I sure will Tom!

As a 2022 Toyota Venza owner I will wait for the Crown Sport, not a fan of the Signia. Toyota please bring the Crown Sport to the US.

For the price it better be lexus quality.
Does the Signia have a HUD? Even as an option?
No
I like it. The crown looks better in this variation. They should bring some bold colors with it
Maybe if the Sport actually shows up on our shores. As is, this is kind of an old mans car and the red is likely as "spicy" a color as we will get.
The Look of the Venza to me blows it away. Love ya Joe! 😊
A prop rod and exposed rear wipers are 2 major zonks for 45k....
I think everything is great with this vehicle, agree with sunroof too. But REALLY wish they offered the macadamia interior that is in the sedan.

Yes, planetary gear set based. Extremely rugged and durable unlike the crappy Nissan rubber band CVT's.
San Diego, you could fit a lot of fish tacos in that door pocket 🌮🌮🌮
So does this ride as low to the ground as it looks? Is it more a wagon look than SUV?

This vehicle is designed for economy, not performance. It you're looking for performance, this is the wrong vehicle for you.
Toyota, please bring a Station Wagon with the starting price of around $30k.
I think the car Joe is driving is an early model because the crown signia comes standard with heated and ventilated seats and heated steering wheel
We will see how it goes!
Correct me if I’m wrong but it’s actually a wagon, not a crossover.
Nice looking, especially for a Toyota.
I do wish they offered a performance version, with the GX V6 powertrain.
They may do that down the road.
Greetings from Romania!

This trim advertises that it has a heated steering wheel and ventilated seats. Wonder if this was an oddball model.
