Toyota says it will bring a plug-in hybrid version of the Crown to the US market shortly, but refuses to talk about a battery-electric version.
— the large sedan that first went into production in 1955 — as a plug-in hybrid that will be sold in America. The Crown has not been offered in the US market since 1972, although it has continued to be sold in the home market where it is now in its 15th generation.
In America, the Crown will be available in three trim levels — XLE , Limited and Platinum. Now pay attention here people, because this is where things get tricky. There are a welter of other product details include in the Crown press release having to do with infotainment specs and various electronic geegaws to amuse and delight drivers. The Platinum, for instance, has a total ofdrive modes, so if you suddenly get the urge to rip off into the deep tundra on your way to the Piggly Wiggly for groceries, the car will be able to instantly respond.

But time has moved on and the idea of the “belt and suspenders” approach seems less appealing.
