Do you know much about the toyota crown sedan fcev,will you be able to drive it,it sounds like might only be in japan at present

We love our Crown Limited getting 45.1 MPG, AWD is nice for the winter months, Toyota got the ride height on the money for ingress / egress. 👍👍

Have test driven both. For my money, it's the XLE. The only thing I REALLY miss is the heated steering wheel. Sunroof would have been nice to brighten the interior but no big deal. I actually LIKE the cloth seats, probably don't need ventilation. The XLE stereo is just fine. Just noticed while watching the video that the XLE doesn't have memory seats? C'mon, Toyota.

I bought the XLE in magnetic grey ,it’s a beaut,the gas mileage is amazing.get about 700miles per tank.

Same here, I drove through traffic the other day and got 48.5 mpg on the 15 mile city trip...amazing. We are about to do our first interstate road trip this weekend...I'm betting it delivers on the 41mpg highway it's rated for.

For the AZ heat I definitely prefer the xle because the leather and glass roof would just make the car feel like an oven. I also prefer the headroom space without the sunroof

@@nelsondeniro8095 phoenix here too. its frustrating to pay for features that you don't want and that if you have to get anyway, you have to put them away. it's like paying for inconvenience. cloth seats are actually cooler and you don't have to pay more for them and you don't have to pay more for leather or fake leather. remote start does the trick. honda messed up with the accord in that they don't have rear ac vents unless you get leather - but then they don't have vented seats. maybe on the 39k touring model. (and then they don't have a spare cuz they put the battery there.) it's frustrating shopping for a big car that just gives you the basics.

Most of the time with cloth seats you don’t need heat or vent.

Loved your video buddy ❤ thanks

Love your entertaining videos! Hey, you missed the Heated rear seats in the Limited. Couple of disappointing things in the Limited for us who want the fuel economy rather than the power in the Platinum….lack of the Digital rear-view mirror AND no Digital Key. Now I’m going to have to install a Command Start.

Hi Jeff!! I like the price of the XLE, but I like the creature comforts of the Limited with leather seats. I don't like the fixed sun roof, but I can't believe they both have HUGE trunks!.

what about the NVH for the base hybrid?? and how many positions for the passenger??

I got a limited crown with the tech package and mines didint come with that eye tracker that's a little above the steering wheel. Do you know why that is? I'm in Cali

I’m still in love with Japanese Crown Royal Saloon. They are luxury and comfy af. Idk about this crown.

Jeff, I purchased the Limited w Tech Package. I. LOVE. IT.!! But I’m not getting the mpg as advertised..averaging 38 mpg😩 Is there a break-in period perhaps..or if I burned the premium, instead of regular, would that help?

@likemike2945

Жыл бұрын

Same here, but I think the MPG is affected by the bigger tires. I'm good with the 3-2 mpg trade off, the 21 inch tires make a big difference appearance wise.

The XLE is the best trim, but, the best model? The ESTATE !!!! Where is it Jeff, coming in 2024??? Love your reviews!♥♥

@rightlanehog3151

Жыл бұрын

Agreed!

Limited is best, in my opinion. I hate that Toyota arbitrarily takes stuff away from $40k flagship simply to create tiers but at this price point the additional $5k for Limited's features will pay off over the life (say 10 years minimum) of the car if you plan to keep it. The superior headlights and front parking features are worth the upgrade cost alone. Also, Limited with optional Tech Package should not be a thing. 360/Panoramic camera view should be standard with Limited not locked away behind 21' rims but again that's Toyota's thing of stripping features away simply to create tiers. Also, Jeff are you saying XLE has no backup parking sensors?

Dang! I was hoping this was a hatch style back end (like the VW Arteon). Huge trunk but would be so much more useful. Otherwise the limited it worth the extra squeeze. I’d actually consider buying one save for the trunk situation.

I do NOT care about moonroof OPR Leather so the XLE is just right

I was gonna say where is my halla. 😂 great review! Thanks

I love the Crown and hate it at the same time. Beautiful sedan, awesome lines. Gorgeous leather. In love with the red/black 2 tone. Infotainment system is badass. I hear the ride height is a little higher which is awesome. Engine and mpgs are sick. That shifter is atrocious. The fully digital dash is fancy, but it is not my thing and I feel like it cheapens the car. I like to feel physically connected to my engine, not looking at a phone screen for rpms when I’m pressing my foot down on the throttle. The only other complaint is it looks smaller than I thought, but maybe that’s just the video. Haven’t seen one in person yet. I was thinking it was gonna be Avalon sized.

The cloth seats on the XLE look very comfortable. Perhaps cloth negates the need for ventilated seats.

Thanks for the comparison reviews. I hate how one can't just go to a dealer lot and make in person comparisons and decisions anymore. I'm 99% sure the crown will be my next purchase. I prefer the limited but its mostly because Im used to vented seats and a few other features that the limited has. That two toned interior is hideous. Whenever I do purchase, it will have to be the solid black. I wish a solid light gray was an option

This car is screaming to be a fastback! The design is already there, just swap that trunk. It would add so much more versatility and I'd be all over it.

Thank you for the comparison, Jeff. I don't think the extra $6000 are worth it. However, the Crown XLE is such a downgrade from the Avalon XLE that it would be very unsatisfying by comparison and therefore you pretty much have to get the Limited just to get close to what the base Avalon offered. I believe that for what they offer, the XLE and Limited (an Platinum for that matter) are all overpriced. Interestingly, the Japanese version of the Crown has a lot of the features that we can't get here, even on the Platinum trim: a functioning tilt-and-slide moonroof, hands-free power trunk, digital rearview mirror, HUD, electric steering wheel adjustment, etc. Maybe Toyota's plan is to make the Crown so expensive and undesirable in the US that they can then kill it off with the argument that nobody is buying it; I have no other explanation for what they are offering here.

My local dealer has a platinum coming in (the level I would get). He then sent me details... it's the copper/black bitone one. I said "sorry, I don't want to drive a duracell battery". Why do dealers order these odd colors? Is it because it's all they could get?
