It looks like nothing else out there. To me, that's a good thing. I love the way the crown looks with monopaint. I just took delivery of my limited Crown, and I averaged 47.5 MPG on my first tank. The ride is extremely smooth and and so quiet inside. It has exceeded my expectations. Go test drive one and see yourself.

One thing about Toyota, although they make great cars, they surely know how to make a cheap looking steering wheel

The brown interior makes such a positive improvement over the monochromatic interior. And all red looks way better than the blah black dual tone.

Exactly if it had the lift back it would be perfect

My current 2015 4runner has the same cruise set up that my 94 SC 400 had back in the day. It's a perfect design. So easy to engage, and even easier to disengage for obvious reasons.

You have a point about the cruise control stalk. Toyota’s classic stalk was and is the best setup for CC ever implemented. It debuted all the way back in 1989 on the original LS400 and stuck around this long for good reason.

I think they ditched it to make their cars more conventional and easy to switch to. Most competitors, like Honda and Hyundai and GM, use steering wheel controls. I like Hyundai's controls and even though other brands have a slightly weird layout, it's still easier for me to switch compared to a stalk.

@drivedb7

@@faeinthebay- I assume they ditched it because it was becoming harder to incorporate radar cruise features with it. Whatever the reason, with it gone now, the steering wheel is a mess of buttons and using the system is more cumbersome. The old stalk was so easy that Ray Charles could figure out how to use it.

Amazing video topher i like how chill you are, keep going!

I’ve been driving mine for almost two months and I love it. I get constant questions and compliments about the looks, people really do like it. There’s more room inside than in my Camry and I get between 40 and 56 MPG on the freeway. The only complaints that I have are that there’s a bit of wind noise by the top of the driver’s door at about 65 and the wireless charger makes my phone get really hot, which is bad for the battery.

Your videos are so straight to point I love it 😊

If lifting sedans is what we gotta do to keep them around, I’m for it! Lifted sedan>compact CUV

Toyota using physical controls like this is a big reason why I like them so much. I even like the old hi-fi stereo system style LCD display for the climate control.

We used to the have the crown before but Toyota decided not to sell it in the us anymore for some reason. So Toyota decided to sell it in Japan and other countries if I’m not mistaken for couple of decades. Last model of the crown looks badass in Japan but the fact the change everything on the crown looks completely different. When I heard that Toyota is bring the crown to the us is mind blown because I thought it was Japan exclusive only but i like it.

It’s a nice hybrid!

Looks are subjective, but I think it looks much better than the Camry hybrid.

How does it compare to Lexus es300h? Comfort and noise level at highway speeds?

You mentioned the JBL system being just okay, and that makes sense. I was really disappointed that they gave it an 800-watt system (like the Corolla, Prius, RAV4, etc.) instead of a 1200-watt system (like the Venza, Highlander, Tundra, etc.). I absolutely love the JBL system in my 2023 Venza and really expected a similar, or better, system in their new flagship sedan. It blows my husband’s ‘23 RAV4’s JBL out of the freakin’ water.

TheTopher makes the best videos ever :)

Do you know which version of Toyota hybrid system this is? Is it gen 4 or gen 5? The just-announced Signia uses gen 4, so I assume this does too. The *real* question is, *why* is Toyota using a previous generation hybrid system?

I am really curious as to how the Camry redesign will be since it is going to be hybrid only. I hope it offers a similarly nice interior with an updated exterior...

This new Crown is gorgeous. I've seen two on the road so far since October, and I got to say they look even better in person. The proportions are kind of funky at first, but when you actually see the car in person, everything just works so well. So many curves. This car is head and shoulders better than the hideous previous gen Avalon. With that being said, I do really wish there was a V6 option.

Chris, If your exercise in self restraint yielded 40 mpg, I am confident I could easily get 50 with this car.😉I really hope Toyota has not subverted the future of the Crown line in our market by reintroducing the name with such an 'unusual' model. The Crown sedan, CUV and especially the Estate were such fine looking and /or practical cars it will be a pity if we can't get them. Once the Camry offers Hybrid AWD, this Crown will be an even tougher sell. As every Crown is AWD, it would have made sense to offer a Trail mode with RWD bias like RAV4s etc.

They should've kept the Avalon and introduced this as a loges coupe. cause that sedan looked amazing, tesla did the same with their model X and that looks really bad for a sedan I think. Cause now we only have corolla and Camry as proper sedans in Toyota lineup. Hopefully it gets back like the Venza did.

How is NVH compared to the rx350h?

To be fair, this has been the only version of the new Crown available anywhere. Even in Japan, the next generation Crown “true sedan” and SUV are not yet available. They can only get this one, which in the JDM is called “Crown Crossover.”
