it looks like a wagon with the ground clarence of a crossover, the Venza was sort of like that, except for the wagon part. the Subaru Outback would be the best comparison to the Toyota Crown, one thing im sure most Toyota buyers will miss is that V6. it was just buttery smooth and reliable.

Looks really good as a wagon.

My only wish Toyota would have the optional Hybrid-MAX powertrain in the Crown Signia that’s available in the Crown.

Beautiful design, I say wagon.., and that's being a wagon lover. Great to see them back! Now America - buy them!! But, in addition to a better powertrain/drivetrain selection Lauren alludes to, it needs an opening sunroof. The fixed one carried over from the Venza is a miss here, as it was a miss then.. Even the supposedly "lesser" RAV4 it shared platforms and many bits with has an opening one! The Venza's fancy automatic frosty treatment was interesting but, comparatively, a gimmick - and no substitute for a traditional opening one. That and rollerskate 21s a "no" on what is essentially a smaller mid-size. I agree with Lauren on the nice wheel design, but make it a 20 at most. If I got the Limited I might swap for the base 19s from the get-go. Edit/add: no spare tire. All the RAV4s and Venzas have one.

So,,,, What is it exactly that Al does ? Iv seen him now in several of your videos and he Just Sits there.... says next to nothing ever... Whats the Point ? Im I missing something ?

Good looking vehicle. It really is more like a Lexus. Great job Toyota.

My men AL Vazquez I thought they were going to drop you off that mountain min. 7 for a second =) ! beautiful vehicle! Lauren Fix is great reviewing lovely.

I think Signia is going to fly off Toyota dealership lots. I hope the dealerships will not gouge customers by asking over MSRP.

In the Bay Area, they ask for $5K over MSRP.

Hate to disagree, Lauren, but the Venza is a sales dud. Toyota sold 29,000 units in 2023, down about 8% from 2022. By comparison, Toyota sold 435,000 RAV-4s, up 18% from 2022. But I do think the Signia will sell much better than the Venza.

I never understood that because I liked the Venza more than the RAV4!

Yeah, their vehicles are not as refined as others. I have a Lexus ES 350 that's good but that 'refineness' isn't there. I plan to keep it as long as I can but my next vehicle won't be a Toyota Corp product. I will go to either Honda or Mercedes

I noticed that too. Kind of disappointing.

Pizzaz and romance in cars only come to play when you have enough cash to afford multiple cars. Otherwise majority want reliability and same engine trans is good as long as we get reliability.

I like this SUV but if Toyota dealers play games with the price, I'll just go with the 2025 Acura RDX.

Noisey. prefer the Venza

Currently have the 22 Venza and while it is a nice vehicle, I fell in love with this Signia and have watched many, many videos of it. Several things I think I will like and appreciate over the Venza are the quite ride, the layout of the interior (vol button) etc., and for me just the good looks of the Signia inside and out. I already have a deposit at my dealer but I am picky and want exactly what I want, so don't know how long I will have to wait for it. Another thing I have read is that Toyota will only send 20,000 yearly to the U.S.

PHEV please.

It was very awkward for me to watch this video because it reminds me of when I ride with my wife. She does all the talking and I cannot get a word in edgewise! Why have Al in the video with you, Lauren?

Lauren. Is it just me or the Crown Signia seems to have a lot of road noise.

It’s the sensitive mics. It’s pretty quiet

Too small, too limited seating, lacking space 3rd row seats and deep humongous cargo area is dealbreaker for me. No thanks!

Also having them in the traditional location at the bottom gives it a better sweep than an inverted one. When you compare the arcs, maybe not incredibly so but still better, especially for that all-important right rear/bottom corner (on left-hand drive vehicles). The best coverage and the setup that makes the most sense .... is the twin set up on the old (mid 90's) Camry wagon!...versus the particularly small stubby ones more have now because of the increasingly shallow rear windows.

😂 Luxury ?... Then why is it so Ugly? Being toyota are the Recall papers in the glove compartment?

Definitely wagon.
