Replacing the Avalon, the Crown returns to the United States as a new kind of sedan.
If you’re wondering if it drives like a crossover, the answer isn’t as clear. The Crown offers a high seating position with a commanding view of the road like you’d expect from a crossover. But it also has the same headroom problem you might find in a sedan. If you’re opting for a Crown with a panoramic roof and are over six feet tall, your head will probably meet the sunroof shade. Reclining the seat absolves some of these issues, but that might not be your ideal seating position.
The base powertrain offers more than adequate oomph off the line and easily launches the Crown onto highways. But the base powertrain isn’t exactly, and the internal-combustion engine makes its presence known in the cabin with some unrefined noise. The optional Hybrid Max powertrain is remarkably quiet and smooth. The extra power helps push the Crown more quickly down the road, but acceleration feels linear and natural.
The Toyota Crown might reset the concept of a sedan and inspire more of these unique body styles in the future. But that will only happen if Toyota buyers jump at the Crown when it goes on sale early next year.
