Will the 2023 Toyota Crown be the ICE 'lift-up sedan' that succeeds?
are a mere 0.2 inch to 1.5 inches higher than the Avalon. But their roof heights are four to eight inches higher and they have hatchbacks, so they’re crossovers as far as buyers are concerned. Seems shoppers will ignore blurry details for a quick, familiar answer to,"What is it?"
Since this is an opinion piece, I can say I’d give the Crown a better chance of making a market impact if it were prettier and/or electric. The car does look better in person, and the monotone color is the way to go for the less bold among us. The bi-tone paint job carves out the sedan’s details in less elegant ways than I’d prefer. And no matter the color, it’s hard to unsee the Nissan Maxima-esque lines in the rear three-quarter once detected.
Other intrigues include the manual prop used to hold up the curt hood; the Avalon comes with two hydraulic struts. We were told,"Owners don’t really lift the hoods anymore." Hack described the Crown at speed as"Ultra quiet – the goal was to make it as quiet as possible inside." Standing outside, though, the Hybrid Max powertrain on the performance-oriented Platinum trim makes the same dreary buzz as a frugal Toyota hybrid minus the frugality.
