Happy almost Friday everyone and thank you so much for the best wishes on our hosts new nuptials last Saturday! Kinda crazy to think we filmed this review about 2 months ago, but the embargo has finally ended and the new Crown Signia once again feels like a Lexus for less and we are digging the styling a lot more than the Venza it replaces. RIP Venza, hopefully the Signia is here to stay!
Let's be honest about cargo space. The space that the Rav4 and others have over this is measured vertically, and most people don't stack things in SUVs to the ceiling except for occasions when purchasing televisions or moving huge boxes, in which case a few cubic feet aren't making a tremendous difference, and some of that can be made by rearranging and squeezing it in better. The horizontal space of this, however, and the ability to lay many items on the floor beside each other, to me, make this better than taller vehicles with less floor space. You can actually sleep in this! Wagons are great for this, and length matters.
Cubic feet of cargo space tells me NOTHING. I really agree with you about this subject. Rear view mirror that is actually a camera seems to make sense to me. If this Crown can store as much or more than my Subaru outback, I will purchase one.
I absolutely love your videos. I watch them whenever you post a new one. You help me to keep up with new cars. The new Crown Insignia looks really cool and ticks alot of peoples boxes.
I love the Signia and the wagon look, now we need a Camry wagon. Also congrats on your wedding!! I've been following you since 2016, so I'm happy to see you thriving.
Isn't this pretty much a Camry wagon already? They're both on the TNGA-K platform, have similar hybrid drivetrains, have almost the same wheelbase, and have very similar front facias.
Good-looking wagon, inside and out. The lack of an opening sunroof is a bummer, though. I hope this vehicle inspires Subaru to build a better looking Outback, and I hope it inspires Mazda to bring the Mazda 6 wagon to North America.
I'm not happy with where the prices are going recently, but to be fair, this is supposed to be a more premium option. If you need something more affordable, the Highlander, 4 Runner, RAV4, Corolla Cross all start at a lower MSRP.
An inevitable statement from someone on every review of every car, at ever level, and from every manufacture. If you hadn't mentioned it, someone else would have.
I appreciate your super accurate down to 100th of a second 0-60 times, especially the ones with passengers in the vehicle and "slightly uphill" ones. They should be considered the industry standard.
My favorite part is that it looks more like a wagon than an SUV. That actually makes me more interested in it overall. Also, congrats on getting married!! 🎉🎉
I really wish Toyota had spun the Crown brand as its own mid-Luxury or executive marque. The actual crown logo is so pretty. Also the Japanese market specific sedan would have been my next vehicle, not the egg shaped sedan that we got here in the States. Also congratulations!
If Toyota can make this move by bringing back the crown emblem, it would boost its sales numbers. I don't want to spend that money on a Toyota that can buy a Lexus.
Yeah way too expensive. Costs the same as an RX. No reason to buy this when you can buy an RX instead. Toyota already learned this lesson with the old Land Cruiser. It cost the same as the LX and as such the LX out sold the Land Cruiser. Hence the reason they didn't bother to bring the 300 series Land Cruiser to the US.
@@LoganNolagits made in japan, and crown is way more older rather then lexus, because lexus in japan still considering new compared with crown, even in japan toyota grub to compete e class and 5 series they using crown sedan RWD because ES series still below crown sedan rwd
@@keras_ The RXh starts at $52k Crown Signia maxes out at $50k so top end Signia competes directly with base model RXh. Also in many parts of the US you will be hard pressed to find a Crown Signia for MSRP Toyota dealers love to put all kinds of stupid add ons on their cars pushing the price up. I wouldn't be surprised if most Crown Signias sell for the mid to upper 50s maybe even low 60s when they finally hit the lots.
@@tomcat1555 Much smaller ??? The highlander is 194.9 inches long and the Signia is 194.1. The major difference is in the hight. Highlander is 68 inches and the Signia is 63.
@@johnkonde1975- I think it’s also way nicer than the Outback. I can’t see anyone cross shopping them as they are intended for two completely different types of buyers in my opinion.
It would be my favorite too if it weren't so overpriced. This Crown SUV will end up being around 60k including accessories, taxes, fees etc. I would rather buy a Lexus for that. Toyota is too greedy nowadays
Sofyan, Most mainstream compact CUVs now exceed $40K in their top trims. The Crown Signia (starting at $43,200) is something of a bargain. 🤩🤩 My only major gripe is the lack of 40/20/40 rear seats as this should be an ideal ski wagon.
That means a fully loaded Crown Signia is over 12 thousand dollars more expensive than a fully loaded RAV4/CR-V etc. Not worth it in my opinion. Including taxes, fees, accessories etc. a fully loaded Crown Signia Limited would be 60k, no thanks!
@@MyMovie5858 definitely can understand that. The crown is for people who want something like a Lexus, but without the Lexus emblem. I know sounds crazy but there are ppl like that
Toyota should consider making a Prime version for more performance based on the Limited trim with that beautiful saddle tan leather interior that makes it look like it's got a Lexus interior. I personally love that interior color 😍🔥🤩
The gasp I gusped when the steering had manual controls. There’s no way with that price tag. The Crown is supposed to be an alternative to the Lexus models, not just a glorified Camry.
Great review. The design is cool. At $50k its not something I'd go for, for a slightly lifted wagon, but hopefully sells for them. Those gloss black bumpers though, OMG those things are going to be scratch city even without living in the big city - just running it anywhere that has real winter and salt etc. on the highway getting flipped up at 70mph.
I remember watching you when you first started and you were a salesman for Honda I think if I recall right? wow you really got popular and blew up! Nice job!
For 52k, I believe you might be able to get regular highlander limited for that price. The cargo space and leg room and headroom are horrible considering this is as big as a regular highlander but just 2 rows. You can get a fully loaded RAV4 for 10K less, and still having more space, which makes signia laughable.
You're missing the point, the Crown is priced higher because of the refinement, not everyone cares about cargo space nor do they need the leg/headroom if they're not tall. My family has a 2022+ Venza, Highlander, and Lexus RX. I've test driven the RAV4. The Venza is a more pleasant driving experience (quieter, smoother, more soft touch materials) than the RAV4 or the Highlander, it's closer to the RX. Since the Crown Signia is replacing the Venza, it will have the similar Lexus-like driving experience.
@@B0rnToSlay where is the refinement? After all, this is still Toyota, not Lexus, It still has some hard touch plastic, it doesn’t have high end audio system, no HUD, no power adjusting steering wheel, sunroof doesn’t even open, no hybrid max powertrain, no passenger memory seat, no 2nd row climate control buttons, no 2nd row sun shades, not even tinted rear windows for 2nd row passengers. 52K is ridiculously expensive for what you get. It should just be 2K more than RAV4, not 50K+.
@@blackwhirlwind1245 🙄You're still missing the point. The refinement comes with how it feels when you drive it, not nitpicking specific features. If you don't like the Crown Signia, then buy the Highlander or RAV4 you mentioned, or any of the Lexus crossovers. That's the beauty of Toyota having so many models, people can pick and choose what you want out of their vehicle.
Honestly, I think they did that due to the fact that it would be pretty much a lexus at that point, and they don't want to compete with their luxury brand.
@@GR-Kevin I agree. I'll keep my 2022 Venza Limited for now, it's probably $15k less than this Crown will be, for almost the same level of refinement, and easily $20k+ for the similarly equipped NX350h :)
Good review… but nearly $50k for even base model after 7.5% tax and $630 registration in CA is just too expensive. In my Calif county, sales tax and registration adds $4111 based on a $45000 price so you’re over $49k even with base model. A used Volvo XC90 looks attractive for $15k less.
I plan to purchase this car in 2-3 years. I hope they add a more premium 8-12 speaker option that’s not JBL. I also hope they add 1-2 more exterior color option. I also hope they improve the MPG up to 45-55 MPG instead of its current 36-39 MPG as a hybrid. If they can somehow make it as efficient as Prius’s 52/58 MPG that’s be fantastic
Congratulations on the wedding! I have the 2024 Venza and to be honest, the signs only has one feature I like. The QI charging plate is like a stand so your phone is vertical like in cup holder
I like the interior a lot but I'd rather have the extra space of the Toyota Highlander. I don't need 3 rows but I'd rather have more ground clearance and a taller cargo area.
@@Arctic5foxI agree the prices are a bit high but People still buy them because of Toyota's reliability, efficiency and resale values. Don't compare it with Dodge.
The Lexus brand has probably run its course. Toyota could move up a notch to semi-premium and the Century sub-brand elevates to Bentley/RR territory. 😊
This should be named Venza. Anything with "Crown" just triggers "Crown Victoria" to me. Also the non-opening glass roofs are a dealbreaker in the sunbelt, despite this one having a shade.
I am waiting for the next gen RAV4 and I wish the styling will be similar to the Crown Signia except the size and the front honeycomb style grill which I rather have horizontal lines.
Major problem with mostly all new Toyota 2024 and 2024 for example, the 2006 Toyota Prius had plenty of headroom and a person 6 foot one could fit in it comfortably the 2024 and 2025. Toyota Prius is completely different someone of that same height cannot fit in the vehicle. The crown also is missing a lot of headroom. A person of 6 foot height cannot fit comfortably in the Toyota crown with less headroom.
Yes. I’m 5’ tall and I had to put the new Prius’ seat all the way up to see over the dash board. Haha-my head almost hit the roof, so claustrophobic too. I’m still driving my 2009 Prius.💃🏽
Yo, the panoramic roof on this Crown Signia can't open to let air out, which is a major bummer. Also, the rear wiper should be hidden away to give it a cleaner look. Overall, this car, with its powertrain, seems to be aimed at a specific older demographic in the market. And let me tell you, it's not my cup of tea!
I don't really see the problem with targeting the older crowd with the Crown and Crown Signia (and previously the Venza). They younger crowd still has the RAV4, Highlander, Camry, 4Runner.
I have a 2009 Venza, and one of the main reasons we love it is that we don't have to strain to get in or out. The second generation Venza was a disappointment. Not only was the entry too high, the top of the door opening was too LOW, forcing me to contort to get in. I am only 5' 8" but I have a long torso, and I have The same problem getting into my former boss's Tesla S. If you are a mature American with back issues or cardio issues, you don't want to put a strain on your body getting in and out of your car. That is why Subaru Foresters and Outbacks are popular. Getting in and out easily is a TRUE LUXURY. Why do so many car makers ignore it? Frankly, I think a class action could be made against auto companies under the Americans with Disabilities Act.
What do you mean? This cost as much or more than a Lexus NX/RX the way that it is optioned. It has nice tech, and leather seats, but you will find that in other brands’ top trims as well.
I am only 5’5” tall and I raise the front seat so I can see adequately. Unfortunately every car that I have driven has a seat that moves forward while raising it. With a 27” inseam I end up driving with the seat as far back as possible. I wish that the seat would go back further but unfortunately vehicle makers don’t see it that way. I really, really like this vehicle and will definitely consider it the next time I am in the market.
Imagine paying way more than a crown and still not getting the hybrid max, nor shocks for the hood. Cars are saving costs everywhere and still going up in price. At this price, just buy ANY lexus product. Considering the Signia is 44k to 55k and the RX is 47k to 60k, you can get an RX easily for the same money as this. Hopefully people realize this and buy lexus, and make toyota discount this by 10k like the do the crown "sedan".
RX hybrid. Also you have to upgrade many features. The current ES requires you to get many packages to get the same features the Crown sedan limited has. The ES wins in the HUD, power wheel, and 10 way seats.
You will not fin an RX Hybrid below 50k...in fact my local dealer has 28 of them on the lot and the lowest is 58k...ranging up to 68k. If you want the 500h, you are talking 68k to 75k.
The frontal design has a nice flow to it. The side view is not unique and looks like 90% of the SUVs out there. MPG excellent. The back end also has a nice design.
Had a venza but the X took it with her. I drive 22 accord 2.0t. Miss the venza and will consider this car for a future replacement. Not crazy about the front grill. Hope they refresh that soon. RANGE the most convoluted mis guided explanation. You will never get over 500 miles. All cars will run out of range on your display with about 2.5 gallons left. This is to protect the hybrid system and the fuel pump. So take your 37 mpg × (14.5 gallons-2.5 gallons)=444 miles Again 37×12=444 At the most. Why all reviewers miss state this is grating. But still enjoyed the review.

Need that hybrid max power train
i agree. This car would ROCK if it had that engine. It's underpowered as is. It's a REALLY nice wagon, however.
For this high luxury price tag, it definitely needs it
If sales are low for this model and the people ask for it, I could see this happening. Just like when Toyota enthusiasts asked for a manual Supra.
Its not designed for that big a power train. Its basically a luxury Rav4, below the RX.

I am waiting for the next gen RAV4 and I wish the styling will be similar to the Crown Signia except the size and the front honeycomb style grill which I rather have horizontal lines.
Major problem with mostly all new Toyota 2024 and 2024 for example, the 2006 Toyota Prius had plenty of headroom and a person 6 foot one could fit in it comfortably the 2024 and 2025. Toyota Prius is completely different someone of that same height cannot fit in the vehicle. The crown also is missing a lot of headroom. A person of 6 foot height cannot fit comfortably in the Toyota crown with less headroom.
Yes.
I’m 5’ tall and I had to put the new Prius’ seat all the way up to see over the dash board.
Haha-my head almost hit the roof, so claustrophobic too.
I’m still driving my 2009 Prius.💃🏽
Nice review 👌 very well done. I am left with a very thorough understanding of this vehicle 👍
This guy is pretty good. 💪
Yo, the panoramic roof on this Crown Signia can't open to let air out, which is a major bummer. Also, the rear wiper should be hidden away to give it a cleaner look. Overall, this car, with its powertrain, seems to be aimed at a specific older demographic in the market. And let me tell you, it's not my cup of tea!
I don't really see the problem with targeting the older crowd with the Crown and Crown Signia (and previously the Venza). They younger crowd still has the RAV4, Highlander, Camry, 4Runner.
@B0rnToSlay Never said it was wrong. It's just not for me.
You saying that the backseat legroom is on the small side BUT you look like a child in the backseat lol
I have a 2009 Venza, and one of the main reasons we love it is that we don't have to strain to get in or out. The second generation Venza was a disappointment. Not only was the entry too high, the top of the door opening was too LOW, forcing me to contort to get in. I am only 5' 8" but I have a long torso, and I have The same problem getting into my former boss's Tesla S. If you are a mature American with back issues or cardio issues, you don't want to put a strain on your body getting in and out of your car. That is why Subaru Foresters and Outbacks are popular. Getting in and out easily is a TRUE LUXURY. Why do so many car makers ignore it? Frankly, I think a class action could be made against auto companies under the Americans with Disabilities Act.
Plenty of minivans available.
50k doesn't go too far nowadays, with this car I think it's a solid, reasonable price.
That front grill design reminds me the one in those laundry baskets made by RubberMaid.
The interior of this car makes me question buying luxury cars
What do you mean? This cost as much or more than a Lexus NX/RX the way that it is optioned.
It has nice tech, and leather seats, but you will find that in other brands’ top trims as well.
Ice always said "luxurt car" is an oxymoron.
I am only 5’5” tall and I raise the front seat so I can see adequately. Unfortunately every car that I have driven has a seat that moves forward while raising it. With a 27” inseam I end up driving with the seat as far back as possible. I wish that the seat would go back further but unfortunately vehicle makers don’t see it that way. I really, really like this vehicle and will definitely consider it the next time I am in the market.
This is a fantastic offering
Imagine paying way more than a crown and still not getting the hybrid max, nor shocks for the hood.
Cars are saving costs everywhere and still going up in price.
At this price, just buy ANY lexus product. Considering the Signia is 44k to 55k and the RX is 47k to 60k, you can get an RX easily for the same money as this.
Hopefully people realize this and buy lexus, and make toyota discount this by 10k like the do the crown "sedan".
RX hybrid. Also you have to upgrade many features. The current ES requires you to get many packages to get the same features the Crown sedan limited has. The ES wins in the HUD, power wheel, and 10 way seats.
You will not fin an RX Hybrid below 50k...in fact my local dealer has 28 of them on the lot and the lowest is 58k...ranging up to 68k. If you want the 500h, you are talking 68k to 75k.
Lexus rx goes over 70k!!! This is much cheaper.
Congratulations on your marriage Sofyan & Keith 🎉🎂🍾🥂🎊!
It would have been nice if Toyota would have offered A white pearl paint in place of oxygen white, just my opinion.
The frontal design has a nice flow to it. The side view is not unique and looks like 90% of the SUVs out there. MPG excellent. The back end also has a nice design.
san diego is insane beautiful, no wonder everyone wants to live there.
Had a venza but the X took it with her. I drive 22 accord 2.0t. Miss the venza and will consider this car for a future replacement. Not crazy about the front grill. Hope they refresh that soon.
RANGE the most convoluted mis guided explanation. You will never get over 500 miles. All cars will run out of range on your display with about 2.5 gallons left. This is to protect the hybrid system and the fuel pump.
So take your 37 mpg × (14.5 gallons-2.5 gallons)=444 miles
Again 37×12=444
At the most. Why all reviewers miss state this is grating. But still enjoyed the review.
Signia has fewer cubic feet cargo vs rav4, but has more sqf of cargo floor, which is more practical
