If this is Toyota's new design language, count me in! I'm diggin' the lack of sharp cut lines in the body, and the fact that they finally made the spindle grill shape palatable to the eye. I hope this trickles down into the Camry and Corolla line up. Thanks Joe (and Lori!)!

Amen! The spindle grille is ugly in most of Toyota/Lexus products. This grille still isn’t great, but it isn’t ugly. And I agree with your take on the lack of sharp cut lines. Too many cars have too many incongruous folds, creases, and triangles. Overall, a good looking car!

I think it was David @AutomotivePress that said some executive wanted people to instantly know what brand they were looking at. Well they certainly met that goal for brand recognition, but I too have always found the classic spindle grill ugly. And yes, thankfully, it appears the current trend is to tone it down. Yay!

This is a good looking SUV - and I’m wondering why I like it so much and then I realized that they’ve borrowed a lot from the Lexus RX350h - essentially the same powerplant, the same shifter, the interior is similar and so are the dimensions. A perfect size. This isn’t a bad thing. Crown Signia could certainly be a Lexus. It’s very nice.

@@RaitisRides I hope with this Crown Signia Toyota had fixed the problems with the front doors of the new RX generation. To be precise the front doors design of the new RX goes under the floor of the car for at least 3 inches deeper. That parts of the doors collect debris, ices and snow and sands from the road. For those driving in winter regions It's really a disaster and look terribly ugly when you open the doors. We hated that on our RX 350 2023. People complaint a lot about that at the dealer.

Hi Raiti, great video as always. Here's a thought for you. At 8:33 you zonk the rear wiper. I work in the car industry and there's a reason most SUVs put the wiper on the bottom of the window. Rear wipers typically sweep an 180o half-circle. If you mount the wiper the top, the widest sweep of the wiper is at the top - the sky. If you mount it on the bottom, the widest sweep of the wiper is at the bottom - pedestrians and traffic.

This is striking to my eyes!!!! Thank you for the review Joe!! i😍 it

One of the best looking models in their lineup for sure. ❤great review

I love it, looks good. Wish it had the hybrid max like the sedan does. Really like the platinum sedan also, I would take the platinum sedan in solid red though!😊

wondering if i will upgrade my 2017 rav4 to rav4 2021 or signia i think rav4 and signia is a same size ?

Would’ve loved to see an SE trim just for a lower priced option but I understand Toyota wanting to make this a luxury vehicle. It’s a bummer cuz most families, including mines, don’t have that luxury budget. This is gonna be another hit for Toyota. They’re not gonna be on dealership lots for long.
