Whoever wrote the script for this video needs a raise. This has to be the most informative video I have found regarding the Toyota Crown.

We love our 2023 Toyota Crown, especially ALL the safety features. Easy in n' out seating, great gas mileage, definitely a keeper for many years to come.

Had two Camry Hybrids that I took to 160k miles and 150k miles respectively. 1st was totaled when I got rear ended. 2nd I traded in when my wife wanted something new. Both were wonderful cars and incredibly reliable. That is ZERO problems. And not a hint of reduced efficiency due to battery wear, although I realized I was probably getting toward the end of battery life. Another thing to mention on those cars (2009 and 2012) while Toyota called their transmission CVT, it was for lack of a better term. The transmission was actually one set of planetary gears that stayed engaged all the time. No wear components like you’d get in a traditional transmission (CVT or otherwise) so I saw that as a reliability trade off with the battery. The best cars I’ve owned.

@@Egalitarianism_Secularism They really are the best for fuel economy without range anxiety. I”ve since passed on my Camry and picked up a Toyota Crown. It’s a hybrid and a real fuel sipper, as well. I have just over 1,300 miles on it and I’ve used about two and a half tanks of gas. I really don’t think I will ever own a non-hybrid again.

Thanks, Scotty! We bought a Crown in march and so far, we’re very pleased.

We recently purchased a 2024 Toyota Crown in the platinum trim level and we love it! It definitely has a unique look and in the bronze two tone it’s a classy look. Glad there is a distinctive sedan on the market that’s not boring. Love your channel Scotty keep up the great work.

I'm vacationing in Japan at the moment, I saw one of these new Toyota Crowns in Yokohama city just three days ago. A fine looking car, if you can come to terms with the "unique" body paint scheme. It's a Toyota so it'll be a good'un. Many years ago, (1975), I owned a 1963 Crown wagon with the 2.0 litre 3R engine, then a 1969 Crown wagon with a 2.3 litre straight six they were both "brilliant" vehicles and were great to drive.

As a watcher of the car industry, I was not only shocked, but bewildered, dismayed and quite frankly, flummoxed at this new revelation.

Scott I remember researching Toyota hybrid batteries before I bought my first prius in 2014. I believe it was a Consumer Reports study that showed prius batteries are extremely reliable and long lasting as they had tested numerous batteries with 200,000 to 300,000 miles and still retained like 98% of their efficiency. I was immediately convinced to buy a prius. I'm hoping to enjoy my 2018 for hundreds of thousands of trouble free miles 😊

The money you save on other maintenance will go most of the way towards paying for the hybrid battery replacement. Toyota batteries are designed to last for the life of the car, though. If you take care of them, it’s not a problem.

The hybrid does have some advantages, at least Toyotas do. The transmission is a planetary gear set connected to a hybrid motor and the engine, so there are no clutches to wear out. There’s no torque converter, starter, or alternator (those are functions of a hybrid motor), and the A/C compressor and water pump are both electric. They only operate when needed and their mechanical components are spared a lot of wear when they aren’t. Maintenance costs are also significantly lower. My 2012 Camry Hybrid still has the factory brake pads thanks to the regenerative braking system.

I wish Toyota would offer a non hybrid version of the crown. Then I would probably buy one.

Great production quality Scotty!

Awesome information video! 🤩

Thanks for another great video, Scotty! My wife loves her 2018 Avalon Limied. I love my 2021 Venza Limited. Both are comfortable to drive and get around 40mpg. So if we decide to trade in our two "loves" for a single vehicle, the Crown has the best features of the Avalon and Venza.

The Crown really does check all the boxes for my needs. All wheel drive, great gas milage, Toyota reliability and it's lifted for the occasional dirt roads. I love it and I'm hoping to get one soon.

This was a really good one Scotty 👌🏾

Wow I like how Scotty Mentioned the Crowns that were made before entering the US and the ones brought to the US & then just like most US reviewers, totally skipped out/ ignored all the other Crowns that were made in the 80s, 90s, 2000s ~ up til 2019 ;D

I was smiling and chuckling as I watching the video. I drive a 19 year old Avalon. My next ideal Toyota described: manual transmission, not driven off road, no 4 wheel drive, no computer on each tire, no need to hook up to electricity at home or on the road, no heated seats.

Just got the crown in July...we love it, drives awesome. Great 9n gas. We dtove it from Austin Texas to Rapid City S. Dakota....drove awesome. People always comment on how the car kooks.

Great review/ comparison

I can't wait for The Car Care Nut to do a full review!

Thank you for the history lesson, Scotty. I wish I could meet you in real life as you are my hero. I like you for your honesty and no sugar coating opinion.

Great post. My wife drove her Celica GT-S for 18 years. I may take a serious look at the Crown.

1974 Crown manual 4 speed was a great car , my old man had two of them and he was a panel beater / spray painter , and he had a 1970 before that , I learnt how to drive on the 2 nd one , it kept up with 4.1 fords on the highways at full tilt ... The Crown is a legend , in Japan

And I read that the Crown has a nimh battery pack, like the earlier Prius hybrids, not the highly flammable lithium battery. That one feature would cause me to consider the Crown.

Upgrading from my 2023 Prius limited AWD to the 2025 Toyota Crown Platinum. I’ll be upgrading the RAV4 hybrid to the Crown Signia when they release the platinum version. Beautiful vehicles they really nailed it.

Great review as usual, Scotty! 👍😀 It may not be the car I'd buy for my hard earned but it's definitely something I wouldn't mind driving. As for hybrid, Toyota's hybrid system is pretty good. Somebody in my family who just wanted to have a small run-around, bought a Prius C many years ago and it's been a reliable vehicle. Toyota's servicing cost (in Australia) has also been lower than for most competitors. (We still have nightmares about Mazda, in that regard.) In the family, we've had a few Toyotas over a decades and they proved to be among the most reliable cars, compared to all the other brands we had. There were some years when Toyota made what you could call "appliances" but a few years ago they even started to make fun, sporty cars again. As for me, I'm keeping my eyes peeled for an FJ Cruiser reincarnation. The only thing that pushed me onto a competitor in the last minute was the ugly look of the FJ. In hindsight, maybe I should've got one. They have legendary reliability, from owners' reports. A few years ago, some FJ Cruiser concept drawings were circulating but unfortunately, that vehicle looked like it had been redesigned for Barbie and Ken, for when they go the beach a few times a year.

How do theses things hold up in Arizona heat,everyone here has to replace batteries and window electrical components every every two years,can’t imagine what electric engines would cost!

Got our 2024 Crown Platinum 2 months ago. It was hands down the best riding car we test drove.

Exactly why they got people used to bulky high profile vehicles.

I remember "Scotty" starting, in an earlier video, that the Avalon, the car that the "Crown" is replacing, was so much BETTER than "THE CROWN!?' So, Scotty, what happened, why the sudden support for the cheaper made, 4- Cylinder Crown, all of a sudden, over the better made, 6- Cylinder Avalon???🤔

Seen them at the dealer. They are sharply styled

I love the Crown. More room for the driver than the Venza. Was skeptical of the CVT, but I watched your video on Toyotas CVT. Thanks, Scotty.

There are several Toyotas in my extended family. Every one has been great - few if any repairs, fantastic reliability.

That thing doesn't even look bad, except for that HIDEOUS, OVERSIZED front grill. R.I.P. Avalon

I had one of those back in 1985. It was slow but never broke down.

Good stuff scotty.

As a Camry Hybrid owner for several years, I can speak to benefits and downsides. Benefits are with in city and rolling hill suburban driving fuel economy. The downsides are fuel economies with long distance and mountain drives. The small 4 cylinder engines are not efficient in those conditions. Very cold weather increases fuel consumption as the system tries to bring the engine and hybrid electric systems up to optimal operating temperatures. Two cooling systems and the long term battery maintenance or replacement have increased maintenance costs. I have paid them. Current internal combustion engines achieve the same or better fuel economies as my decade and a half old Camry hybrid, without the downsides. My replacement will most likely be a conventional internal combustion engine in a sedan or crossover. My winter fuel costs will be better by 15-18%.

We love our’22 Camry hybrid, 47.8 mpg on the hiway at 75 mph, 52.8 around town.

I would love to have one. BUT I fear there is too much driver assist "Options" that are just more crap to break. I'm a Carolla\Camery fan. It has to be DIY for me to allow it.

Hiya Scotty, I think the new Toyota Crown is a great looking Vehicle. Even though it’s a hybrid, Toyota have had the experience of hybrids more than any other manufacturer and as such. Based upon their experience with this technology compared to its rivals. I would assess that this car is going to sell really well.

I drive for Enterprise. Drove a new plug-in hybrid Chrysler Pacifica to the Portland Airport yesterday. Smooth. We drive many different kinds of cars. I like the hybrids. So do the customers.

Americans never received the best Crowns. We Australians got lucky. Some of the best Crowns were from the 80’s, 90s, 2000’s and the 2014 models. They were absolutely spectacular! They were on par with the Lexus LS. We own a 2001 Toyota Crown Royal Saloon G model and it’s breathtaking!

Just purchased a 2023 Toyota Crown and my wife really likes it. We traded our 2012 Avalon limited and I miss a few features it had over the XLE but nothing serious. Rides and drives great but the interior is a like less stylish than our Avalon I think. The trunk is a little smaller but big enough for large suitcases. We like the higher entry into the car over the Avalon and the seats seem more comfortable. If the Crown lasts 12 years like the Avalon did and I get the same trade in value I will be a happy camper.

Thank you.

i just bought platinum hybrid max, and i love it

The Crossover isn't the only model of Crown; Toyota has three other variants: Sedan (RWD), Sport, and Estate. The standard RWD Crown Sedan is already in production.

Looks more like a bigger hatchback (or estate if you're from the UK) to me. Personally I like my hatchback's with a more square back like the Golf. It's just a more practical use of space but I'm sure the crown is more flexible than the Camry. Camry's are good cars just not as flexible as a hatchback.

Why this direction. The car companies always saying last 100K-200K. Yep and then practically have to take a long new to buy new battery. They are also too complex and expensive. Not sure believe the surveys that say hybrid are long lasting and dependable. Except for the Prius no other hybrids have been around that long. BTW 1993 Camry with 305K miles. Not having to buy a battery. LOL😊

This is the first Generation Crown I dont like. The previous 15 Generations were genius high tech elegant cars with extremly smooth 6 and 8 cylinder engines. This 16. Gen looks unusual and cheap inside. It looks like a bigger Prius. The Crown 2022 was the last great looking crown.

I'm weird, can't get into SUV's but have a thing for lifted sedans, Outback Sedan, Volvo S60 Cross Country Sedan, and now this crazy beast. (and wagons of course).

SHOCKING...it's a new sedan with big wheels and thin tires to replace the Avalon. SUVs like the Outback were meant for gravel and snowy muddy roads in places like Wyoming. The closest this will come to offroading is when your 16yo daughter accidentally backs over the flower bed.

If they limit the rear black paint to just the trunklid, it'll match the front and look much better .

Look at Volvo cross country if you want more room and ground clearance with aerodynamics. V60 and v90 wagons. Subaru has Outback too and MB has all terrain etc. Kind of cool look of lifted wagons.
