As much as we want to like the new Crown, it seems like this car was very much an experiment to test the market for Toyota of Japan. The bones are good, but the execution needs some work! The good news, most of the powertrain and interior design should make its way into the next generation Camry coming for 2025!
There’s no reason to like the crown It’s awful. It’s DOA. It’s outdated It isn’t even better than my 2020 Camry XSE v6. In fact it might be worse This is just one of the many examples where Toyota continues to phone it in with their newest models
That’s exactly what happened when they redesigned the Avalon. The 3.5 V6 initially appeared in Avalon in 05 then made its way to Camry for ‘07. I can’t imagine they’d be stupid enough to eliminate the V6 without replacing it with something comparable. Camry Hybrid Max, coming soon.
@avkay12 no. There is nothing positive to say about this car just like there is nothing good to say about the bz4x rz450e UX NX lx RX etc. because they just make it that much easier to find all its faults
Its 2024 "Sport" variant (the name is somewhat TBD) will be officially announced just in a few months. Yes, this is a type of will-it-sell? experiment.
I’ve got the Platinum bicolor red. For all those who think the bicolor is ugly, I get complements on that color and styling every day. For some reason, most people are really impressed by that combination. I’m disappointed you didn’t mention the self parking feature on the Platinum. I’m 76, short and it is perfect for me. Smooth ride (could care less about sporty ride), plenty of power for passing, it’s height is great. I can’t stand the low height of most sedans including Lexus today. I keep getting curb rash on lower height cars, plus the 360 camera is very helpful for parking. It’s very quiet and the safety controls, cruise control, etc. keep me out of trouble.
I have the white, black bi color. I have gotten numerous positive comments on it. You need to see it in person. On the highway we have had cars move out of the passing lane I assume thinking in the review mirror they see black, white, halogen lights and are not sure if it is a police car or not. In over 4 months I have yet to see another Crown on the road.
Toyota: The Avalon isn’t doing so good and it’s too pricy Business person: What if we replace it with the crown and charge more for it than the Avalon? Toyota: Give this person a raise
These cars look A LOT better in person. The 55K pricetag makes more sense when you actually realize how much presence it has. Don't rely solely on these videos.
Wonderful car. I have the exact colour and love it. 0-60 is one thing but acceleration from mid to high speeds is exhilarating and it puts it down to full time AWD. It’s also very quiet. It rides much better than a Camry and I would compare it to the Lexus GS.
I like the 2 tone and the color even if it looks like a Duracell. I also like the car overall. I want to know how different in size it is compared to the Mach e.
I got the exact crown in this video, honestly I got so many compliments for the color. One of my coworker literally redo his audi into this bronze color.
When I first saw the vehicle I thought it was a nice looking car. I’ve been surprised about the industry moving into the SUV’s so quickly. I would definitely look at this car when shopping for a new vehicle. The platinum trim is way to expensive for us but the limited is a possibility unless they’re still wanting to ask over MSRP like they have been. Liked the Avalon also was sad to see it go. Thanks for your videos, I prefer common sense reviews without the gimmicks. You always provide interesting and informative content.
I am just glad Toyota still makes a sedan. I keep hearing how much more room crossovers have and it is nonsense. The majority of these little cross overs are no roomier than a nice sedan. The only way you get a more substantial amount of room is when you get the large cross overs like a CX9 or a SUV like a Telluride and even then if you use the 3rd row in the CX9 it turns your cargo area into nothing. I have a nice full size Cadenza that is spacious and comfortable with a really nice size trunk that can hold all the luggage for a family. As for the seating position that so many people love about cross overs, most sedans come with fully adjustable driver seats that allow you to sit as upright as you want. I personally hate the seats in cross overs and SUV's. Yes its a rant, every time I read a new automotive article some car company is cancelling a sedan and its frustrating . It is to the point i am not sure the reviewers even understand the massive shift from sedans, and yet they constantly remind us every review that we apparently hate them and love SUV's, to the point they question why carmakers even make new sedans. Stop asking why, its because a lot of people still love a good comfortable sedan. Doug Demuro is the absolute worst when it comes to his degradation of sedans, UNLESS its a Mercedes or BMW he seems to be ok with those even though most people cannot afford to step in to a Mercedes dealership. I am a big guy I do not need to sit high, I can see just fine in my compact sedan that I daily drive, yes, I know some people need SUV's, but like pickup trucks most people who drive them truly do not need them.
Love the color combo…beautiful! Styling is great! Wish top tier had lower tier gas mileage. Considering it next year if it is more affordable . I saw one last night and it blew me away. I am an artist and in my 50’s.
@@antoniodavis8266because it’s warranted. Kia makes attractive cars in clever ways. Toyota couldn’t. Kia has German car designers so they can make anything that’s ugly attractive
Yeah indeed can get a V-6 or hybrid fully luxed out an ultra luxury version Lexus ES for the same price. Now let me think about that for two seconds which one I’d go for lol
Most people talking about this car will never buy it nor could they afford it. They just come here to talk negatively about it without knowing what it’s actually targeted towards.
I'm glad to see sedans still being made but I believe the Camry offers everything what people want in a sedan. If they need something roomier than a Camry, they'll likely go for a crossover or SUV before considering the Crown. I believe this could have been a good BZ offering in Toyota's lineup for those that want a Toyota EV sedan.
When they introduced this model I said it wouldn’t sell good bc the Camry is so great. One can buy a Camry V6 XSE for a lot cheaper and have a decent size sedan with decent power and luxury. I also agree that if ppl want something larger than the Camry, they’ll buy a SUV. The Toyota Crown Platinum makes the most sense to buy over the Camry bc of the power to mpg ratio. Any other Crown is a waste of money
@@naveenthemachine idk about 0-60 times but the Crown Platinum has 340hp compared to Camry V6’s 300hp. MPG for Crown XLE & Limited is 42/41 while Platinum is 29/32. Camry V6 MPG is 23/32.
It hilarious the avalon was hated its entire existence. The crown comes out and folks beat thier chest about how great the avalon was. Its indended to be a low volume product like all flagships. With respect to your review midsize sedan segment have step down interiors compared to this. I go to multiple car shows a year so this isnt internet trolling. Its a 45k to 50k interior when you consider the whole product. Full size car, awd, good mpg, and quick enough in plat guise. The issue it has is enthusiast as a group dont understand the car because theyll compare this to g70 or 3 series ignoring the size difference and feature content. Its for a 5 series buyer specifically the 530i or base eclass.
My area , they charge MSRP price. I think that is ok due to car shortage and waiting time. Bought and finally took delivery of my mag Grey xle. Perfect for my commute to work on the 40mpg.
I tested a Limited at a dealer in Las Vegas and liked the car. It has adequate acceleration and great MPG. The dealer in Las Vegas said if you want to buy it, add $4,000 AMV. I walked away, and I found a dealer in Utah that charges MSRP and no add ons. I will fly to Utah for $100.00 and drive the car back and save $3900.00
Saw a solid black one in-person and it was looked really damn sleek. Toyota making all the promotional materials show the dual tone and having the test cars all be the dual tone color options was a pretty bad idea in my opinion. Gives a bad first impression of the car.
I agree. When I see the mono color, I think it looks great. There is nothing wrong with the vehicle that is higher up and has a higher stance. In monocolor, it looks like a luxury vehicle to me
I saw one on the road and it looked distinctive and reasonably attractive for an appliance vehicle. Looks Sort of remind me of the new Prius but bigger. I'll consider it when in the market again. PS I really hate the tesla style interiors, this looks like a nice hybrid between old and new.
Finally someone that says it how it is! I’m tired of all the sugarcoating from other reviewers about the material quality! This is a $60k (including taxes as they are not optional) freaking Camry. Now put that engine in a Camry drop the price to $45k and then we can take it seriously
I love the bronze color! I think the color design of this car is amazing! Most higher priced car colors have become very muted and dull: black, white, and 50 shades of gray. Grays with hints of other colors or cement with no reflection, dull, dull, dull.
I look forward to every one of your videos, very good job. The only thing I would request is one more segment. Lighting is very important to people now and I believe your videos would be much more complete with interior light and exterior lighting segments. It only Hass to be a minute or so, but people want to see what it looks like at night inside and out. Please add this to your videos since you have this for an entire week. I don’t believe it’ll take much more time to go out one evening and do a few minutes of video. Thank you for all your hard work.
That's a good idea. I'm guessing that headlight quality isn't all equal. I know my 2019 nissan altima has some brilliant headlights. Are all led lights similar? Speaking of nissan, this toyota Crown reminds me of the Maxima. Not everyones cup of tea, but they did sell a lot of them and nissan isn't going to be offering them anymore, so there's a market, that's for sure. I think the two tone paint looks good. Lexus is an old guy car, this is unique.
We've been trying to add night time interior ambient lighting if the vehicle has that feature! Getting the exterior lighting can be a challenge at night due to our camera's low-light performance, or lack thereof lol. We will continue to work on improvements based on the feedback you guys give us! Thank you so much!
Toyota really blew it with the Crown. The exterior is too polarizing in a bad way and the cheap looking interior is not befitting of a car that costs almost $60k.
One thing About You and your Channel is that we can Always count on the non Biased reviews ! To Many TOYOTA fanboys across the whole Media Platforms that Absolutely Love Everything they make . They can make Crappy decisions and vehicles just like all the Rsst !
you seem to be too harsh with Toyota, its color, its materials. Its sportsmanship. but what else do they have about the other brands that you keep mentioning? I like the wise nature of this car, its softness and the two-tone color and I don't need a sports car like you are asking for. Not everyone has the same requirements as you. !!
I like the idea/direction Toyota is going with this vehicle. I would go with full black and paint those silver areas on the wheel spokes black. "Murdered Out" (-;
This car is sad. It reminds me of the era when the Impala was called Meatloaf and Baby Huey. It has a great powertrain inside a homely exterior and interior. Has Toyota laid off all of its design teams? You can make a better case for Subaru.
In my Crown Platinum with 3000 miles in 9 weeks, I’m getting 29.5 MPG in every day driving and I get 34 MPG in highway driving. I am driving in the normal or comfort mode and I think the lower my mpg may be a result of the sport mode.
I agree with biotin colors. Looks too busy. I bought a single color metalic grey which compliments black matt trims and gloss back rear. I dont due a lot of traveling. More in the Lexus qualities of luxury and sport like the Lexus 500h and found it in the Crown.
Am I alone in my dislike (edited) of the JBL blister style tweeters on the A pillar? Find them distracting at best! Just too much vendor placement! Thx Alex
a $50k+ flagship sedan without a heads-up display that cars from the same brand $10,000 cheaper have. otherwise its very close to what im looking for. i like the mildly increased seat height that makes it easier to get into, and higher seat height in traffic but is still easy to park and handle like a sedan. sporty, sleek styling. great MPG vs decent mpg and more performance depending on what you want. better interior and ride comfort compared to a Camry. but i really, really, want a HUD which this doesn't have for some stupid reason when the Avalon did.
@@sentryion3106 im sure for many people its not a big deal, but personally i just really want one. i also think its weird because many of its competitors do have a HUD and at $50k it should at least be an option, a $30K car i totally understand not having one. the accord has one (with integrated android auto navigation in the HUD too), camry, sonata, venza if u want a true SUV, and lexus es/rx all have a HUD. its like the only one at this price point, besides true compact SUV's like the tucson and sportage, that doesnt have a HUD.
The comfort isn’t really better than a Camry. Nor is the performance despite having more power and torque. In fact the crown hybrid max has the same 0-60 as a v6 Camry. Even though sofyan got a faster time it’s not really a huge difference in the real world. You could get 5.6 seconds on the Camry on a good launch A Camry offers a heads up display. And oddly more interior space than the crown
It’s weird looking that you have to warm up to but it’s a really really good car that rides good, corners good and the interior is nice enough to make a lot of the Lexus cars (suv included) obsolete.
I personally like the look. So, that's what matters. Not concerned about the prop rod because it's not a daily event to access the bat. Key fob look basic. Interior could use more contrasting elements
This reminds me a lot of the old Honda Crosstour. It's not sure if it's a car or a crossover, it's goofy looking, somewhat practical and will sell in low numbers to Toyota diehards who are looking for the next generation Avalon (which is what they should have called this thing to begin with).
I like that bronze color remind me of copper, but I guess you have to take chances and step out and try new colors instead of the old black white blue red silver.
@@murrynathan you're right. This naveenthemachine dude is just going on every crown video on RUclips to leave negative comments. He is just living in the past and trying to convince himself he happened to buy a Toyota Camry at the best time in all of its history and his car will be a better buy than anything comparable Toyota releases for the next I don't know 20 years. Lol
Mean while the Kia stinger died and the arteon is effectly dead. Sport backs are a type of vehicle enthusiast claim they want but the regular folks don't care about. If they need more space they'll get and suv and we know this by looking at the sales charts.
I have been seriously considering the Arteon. I think Toyota missed the mark with this one. I am sure it is still built like the Toyota's but I liked the Avalon better.
This thing has been such a disappointment since they first showed it. I thought it was ugly, but I will say it looked better in this review than what I had seen in pictures. That is one bland interior for $55k. It needs to either be faster or more fuel efficient with the hybrid max to justify the cost. 5.2 to 60 while getting something like 37/39? Ok. 4.5 to 60 while getting 30ish? Sure. Instead it's kind of mediocre in all areas. How can the new Prius be so good and this be so meh? I wonder how well it responds to hypermiling.
It’s Toyota. What do you expect? They always phone it in Nobody wants to admit it so I will. Majority of new Toyota and Lexus models are just phoned in
I originally had great expectations for the crown, but it turned out to be ugly in appearance! The 2012 Toyota Crown is the pinnacle of aesthetics, stable and generous, with the aura of a top car! Then it went downhill all the way, what a pity the golden signboard of the crown!
This would be the best Police car interceptor, and can replace Ford V6 interceptor. Particularly this is great option for idling since hybrid engine is off during idling which saves a lot of gas!!
The Toyota Crowns that were introduced in Japan, I'm 100% confident when I say this would surely outsell this version. Crown Sport/Sedan model hopefully come to the US.

I have a new Maxima SR and love it, I'm thinking of trading it for a Crown Platinum to get lane assist. This car is beautiful.
Toyota really blew it with the Crown. The exterior is too polarizing in a bad way and the cheap looking interior is not befitting of a car that costs almost $60k.
It’s Toyota. What did you expect?😂
They always phone it in with every single model
One thing About You and your Channel is that we can Always count on the non Biased reviews ! To Many TOYOTA fanboys across the whole Media Platforms that Absolutely Love Everything they make . They can make Crappy decisions and vehicles just like all the Rsst !
The 2 tone looks great in person imo
It looks great, and I am a Honda man through and through
I feel like the new Crown looks weird
You're right
That’s because it DOES look weird.
one in japan look nice
Agreed
It looks decent in person
you seem to be too harsh with Toyota, its color, its materials. Its sportsmanship. but what else do they have about the other brands that you keep mentioning?
I like the wise nature of this car, its softness and the two-tone color and I don't need a sports car like you are asking for. Not everyone has the same requirements as you. !!
I like the idea/direction Toyota is going with this vehicle. I would go with full black and paint those silver areas on the wheel spokes black. "Murdered Out" (-;
Amazing color
This car is sad. It reminds me of the era when the Impala was called Meatloaf and Baby Huey. It has a great powertrain inside a homely exterior and interior. Has Toyota laid off all of its design teams? You can make a better case for Subaru.
I test drove this vehicle and loved it! Unsure why it gets so much slack for the two-tone. It's stylish, curvy, and beautiful.
I agree and I have never liked toyota cars, this one is boss.
This car kicks ass.
6:50 I like the 2tone . This car looks great. 9:00 too bad , I don't like a black interior . bummer .
I own a Volkswagen Arteon....how do engage launch control???
Color looks amazing
I predict a lot of these being on the automotive equivalent of a clearance rack. The new Camry and Crown Sport will be popular though.
The toyota duracel
Can’t unsee it now
lol
In my Crown Platinum with 3000 miles in 9 weeks, I’m getting 29.5 MPG in every day driving and I get 34 MPG in highway driving. I am driving in the normal or comfort mode and I think the lower my mpg may be a result of the sport mode.
Should have gotten a 40 mpg Limited
I have this exact one!!! I LOVE IT!!! Kids say it looks like a cockroach 😂
I agree with biotin colors. Looks too busy. I bought a single color metalic grey which compliments black matt trims and gloss back rear. I dont due a lot of traveling. More in the Lexus qualities of luxury and sport like the Lexus 500h and found it in the Crown.
Am I alone in my dislike (edited) of the JBL blister style tweeters on the A pillar? Find them distracting at best! Just too much vendor placement! Thx Alex
The lack of hood struts would be an issue on any other brand, but that hood won’t be open much in its life… it’s a Toyota 😂
a $50k+ flagship sedan without a heads-up display that cars from the same brand $10,000 cheaper have. otherwise its very close to what im looking for. i like the mildly increased seat height that makes it easier to get into, and higher seat height in traffic but is still easy to park and handle like a sedan. sporty, sleek styling. great MPG vs decent mpg and more performance depending on what you want. better interior and ride comfort compared to a Camry. but i really, really, want a HUD which this doesn't have for some stupid reason when the Avalon did.
Its a weird omission, but I don't think it should be a deal breaker. Also with polarized sunglasses HUD becomes kinda useless.
@@sentryion3106 im sure for many people its not a big deal, but personally i just really want one. i also think its weird because many of its competitors do have a HUD and at $50k it should at least be an option, a $30K car i totally understand not having one. the accord has one (with integrated android auto navigation in the HUD too), camry, sonata, venza if u want a true SUV, and lexus es/rx all have a HUD. its like the only one at this price point, besides true compact SUV's like the tucson and sportage, that doesnt have a HUD.
The comfort isn’t really better than a Camry. Nor is the performance despite having more power and torque. In fact the crown hybrid max has the same 0-60 as a v6 Camry. Even though sofyan got a faster time it’s not really a huge difference in the real world. You could get 5.6 seconds on the Camry on a good launch
A Camry offers a heads up display. And oddly more interior space than the crown
Aftermarket HUD
It’s weird looking that you have to warm up to but it’s a really really good car that rides good, corners good and the interior is nice enough to make a lot of the Lexus cars (suv included) obsolete.
Hi there I have this exact crown platinum and it the best car Michel from Montréal Québec have a nice one 👍
Starting at $40,000 with cloth seats, this is overpriced. The two-tone color looks ugly on this particular vehicle, a single color would look nicer.
Yall said car designs were starting to look the same....well this is ... different.
Give this thing a single tone color , put the aero kit from japan , lower it a bit ( optional ) !!
It will look sick 😛
I personally like the look. So, that's what matters.
Not concerned about the prop rod because it's not a daily event to access the bat. Key fob look basic. Interior could use more contrasting elements
This reminds me a lot of the old Honda Crosstour. It's not sure if it's a car or a crossover, it's goofy looking, somewhat practical and will sell in low numbers to Toyota diehards who are looking for the next generation Avalon (which is what they should have called this thing to begin with).
I can't wait for the SUV version of this!!
I like that bronze color remind me of copper, but I guess you have to take chances and step out and try new colors instead of the old black white blue red silver.
Just get a mid-specked ES350/300H for the price.
This car looks cool! I guess because it’s different!
Outstanding vehicle
i miss the avalon so much, hopefully it could come back as an FCEV
It looks like a Duracell battery with the bronze two-tone
@theredline when you 0-60 vehicles, does the time include a 1-foot roll out?
How do you engage launch control in the Volkswagen you mentioned?
I have a year with a platinum, and I haven't been able to fix it (forward noise, left side), and goes off completely.
Certainly looks a lot more interesting than an Avalon.
Toyota released a Crown crossover coupe style SUV internationally..its beautiful and a damn shame we dont get it in the states
For now. The thing is, how many crossovers do we need on the market?
A car suitable for people over 70 years old.
I had no interest in the Crown until they put the word Platinum afterwards. In my Platinum Crown, I’m gonna drive around my town like a King!
Nobody’s going to take you seriously as king in a clown sedan 😂
@@naveenthemachine Betcha I can fit up to 50 clowns in my Crown!
A car suitable for people over 70 years old.
@@user-qg2zl2cm6j It’ll get me from the hospice to the Cracker Barrel in style!
@@murrynathan you're right. This naveenthemachine dude is just going on every crown video on RUclips to leave negative comments. He is just living in the past and trying to convince himself he happened to buy a Toyota Camry at the best time in all of its history and his car will be a better buy than anything comparable Toyota releases for the next I don't know 20 years. Lol
I feel like Toyota needs to get rid of JBL please!!! And they totally missed the mark with not being a sport back with bigger trunk space.
Mean while the Kia stinger died and the arteon is effectly dead. Sport backs are a type of vehicle enthusiast claim they want but the regular folks don't care about. If they need more space they'll get and suv and we know this by looking at the sales charts.
If the redesign 2025 Camry looks like a bigger new Prius and comes with this Hybrid Max or PHEV Prime.. I'm a buyer. Don't want or need an SUV.
Finally! I always wanted a Buick Park Avenue with modern tech and great MPG.
I have been seriously considering the Arteon. I think Toyota missed the mark with this one. I am sure it is still built like the Toyota's but I liked the Avalon better.
Get the arteon. It’s a better car than this uncompetitive Toyota
@@naveenthemachineits literally best in class like every other toyota
This thing has been such a disappointment since they first showed it. I thought it was ugly, but I will say it looked better in this review than what I had seen in pictures. That is one bland interior for $55k. It needs to either be faster or more fuel efficient with the hybrid max to justify the cost. 5.2 to 60 while getting something like 37/39? Ok. 4.5 to 60 while getting 30ish? Sure. Instead it's kind of mediocre in all areas. How can the new Prius be so good and this be so meh? I wonder how well it responds to hypermiling.
It’s Toyota. What do you expect? They always phone it in
Nobody wants to admit it so I will. Majority of new Toyota and Lexus models are just phoned in
They need to make a crown capstone with the 3.5l v6 hybrid from the Lexus TX
I love the colour!
What is the transmission type? And how it feels ?
I originally had great expectations for the crown, but it turned out to be ugly in appearance! The 2012 Toyota Crown is the pinnacle of aesthetics, stable and generous, with the aura of a top car! Then it went downhill all the way, what a pity the golden signboard of the crown!
This would be the best Police car interceptor, and can replace Ford V6 interceptor. Particularly this is great option for idling since hybrid engine is off during idling which saves a lot of gas!!
Finally, a copper-colored car besides the Nissan Ariya! :)
The Toyota Crowns that were introduced in Japan, I'm 100% confident when I say this would surely outsell this version. Crown Sport/Sedan model hopefully come to the US.
Can you compare the Toyota Crown to the Toyota Avalon that is if you can find a Toyota Avalon
The avalons far superior
The Crown is probably just a placeholder until Toyota comes up with an actual flagship sedan.....if it bothers to come up with one at all.
