2024 Toyota Crown Limited 4dr Sedan AWD (2.5L 4cyl gas/electric hybrid CVT)
I have purchased used Camry's and Corollas for all 4 of my nieces and nephews first cars. The vehicles run forever. I just traded my 2016 Avalon for a new 2024 Crown. Owned the Avalon for 8 years and put 130K on it. It was driven hard and most of its life was on a dirt road. The vehicle never left me stranded but it was time for a new Toyota. The Crown seemed to be the logical choice. I … liked the color and the interior. The Options on the Limited were very close to the Avalon. The car rides very well, handling is outstanding, steering response is tight with no play in the wheel. Acceleration is on the weak side but then again it is a luxury hybrid vehicle. The interior is laid out with the driver in mind. All the controls are at your fingertips. Noise is questionable, as the engine noise is very noticeable when you accelerate. I am still getting use to the vehicle with just over 1000 miles on it. I am averaging 38.9 miles per gallon. However, I drive it a bit hard. I think this car is in the middle when it comes to luxury. some place between a Lexus and a Cadillac. If you are looking for a well built vehicle that is on the finer side of style and luxury, I think the CROWN fits that category. When I purchase a Toyota I always feel like I am buying a vehicle that was made to last and be reliable. If the CROWN is like every other Toyota I have owned throughout the years, it will live up to the car makers reputation and serve my transportation needs for many years. For the quality of the car, styling, luxury and price, it is my opinion that the Crown is a worth the cost compared to the may high end car companies that want 10 to 30 thousand more and do not offer the reliability. I have test driven GM's, Lincoln's and other high end vehicles. You will not find a better comparative vehicle for your money than Toyota CROWN. I am updating my review after 2 years and 37,000 miles of ownership. The vehicle has never been back to the dealer other than oil changes and tire rotations. It is still a solid vehicle and the mileage has increased to around 40 MPG on the average. The only thing I have noticed throughout the last 2 years is the acceleration noise is still a bit loud. I have replaced the tires and recommend the Perelli Scorpion AS tires as they seem to improve the ride and the handling in all weather. Still happy with the vehicle and would still recommend a Crown to anyone looking for a luxury vehicle under 50K that will last and does not have to get work done at the dealer every other month.
Comfy commuter where everything makes sense

2025 Toyota Crown Limited 4dr Sedan AWD (2.5L 4cyl gas/electric hybrid CVT)
I had an old 2004 Camry which I LOVED, but with high mileage (nearing 300k) I got tired of the time and money for the little repairs. I like the Crown just as well, which has never happened with any other car. The hybrid system is extremely smooth; you can barely feel the engine or motors kick on or off. It seems to select the most logical mix of power based on the current situation. You … can drive a surprisingly long distance on city streets without the gas engine. At reasonable speeds on the highway, it's common to rev extremely low, even without the electric motors: think 1000-1600, depending on the situation. Fuel economy is something else. I expected 40 based on the government numbers, but I'm getting 48.5. Most of that is highway driving. Yes, I'm a slow driver. I only break 80 to pass and it even feels composed at 90. I generally drive 55-65. The fuel tank empties so slowly. When it comes to speed, the car is surprisingly good. The electric motors really pull. You can pass and accelerate quickly with ease. I've never been over 5000 rpm, so I don't know what it's like up there. There is a mildly irritating rattly noise around 3000 rpm and the engine's loud at anything over that. It's very quiet when driven calmly. I thought I'd despise the CVT, but it apparently doesn't even qualify as one, being some kind of unique continuous transmission. It doesn't feel rubber-bandy or slow to respond at all. The ride comfort is exceptional. I'm extremely susceptible to carsickness, even when I'm driving. I haven't felt even the slightest bit queasy in the Crown. It doesn't ride like a bouncy castle or rock and roll like a large, overly soft SUV. However, compared to a sporty car, the cornering isn't effortless. You can feel its weight, but it's very comfortable when driven slowly around significant turns. The interior is very cozy and has an upscale, semi-luxury vibe. There's not much to say other than everything makes sense, PLUS comfy and classy design elements. Bronze-colored trim flows through the cabin and ties it together. The stitching on the leather seats is gorgeous. Everything pretty much works perfectly and as expected. There are really no surprises... except for how nice it is. You should expect that for the high price, though. I've had people ask what the car is. It makes me feel nice to have something special that'll remain notable in the future. I would recommend the Crown with almost no reservations. If you like to drive fast, something else would be better. You get maximum comfort out of this car driving like a grandpa; it's so cozy that you don't even want to drive faster.
Don't Fear the XLE!

2024 Toyota Crown XLE 4dr Sedan AWD (2.5L 4cyl gas/electric hybrid CVT)
10,000 MILE UPDATE I stand by everything in the original review. The car drives and rides very smoothly, my gas mileage is exceptional, easily living up to the 41MPG EPA even on long drives. Electronics have been rock solid except for the very occasional CarPlay dropout, but reconnects quickly. My only new complaint is the strange cupholders. It can be very tricky getting a cup into … them, and some cups with larger diameters will not fit at all. Bottom line, this is a car I leased but would absolutely be willing to buy (although I'd probably buy the new Crown Signia SUV instead of the sedan). ORIGINAL REVIEW I have 1,500 miles on my Crown, driving mostly around the city but also two longish road trips. While I would have preferred the Limited model, the budget allowed for the XLE. Two nice benefits to the XLE, besides price. The cloth seats are VERY comfortable, and hopefully negate the need for ventilated seats, which aren't available on the XLE. Also there is more headroom in the XLE because there is no sunroof. I test drove the Limited as well, and agree with reviewers that the headroom in the Limited and Platinum models is quite limited (I'm 6' 1"). The only other features I really miss with the XLE are memory seats and a heated steering wheel. The base stereo in the XLE is perfectly fine. The car drives very smoothly and quietly for the most part. Acceleration is... adequate. Handling is good and the ride is very soft, which is what I wanted. If you love the feel of stabbing the accelerator on an onramp, seek out a sport sedan or maybe the Platinum Crown because the "fun to drive" quotient on the XLE/Limited is not very high. Coming out of an Acura TLX, this is what I wanted. The Crown does sit slightly higher than a normal car, which eases entry/exit. The car is quiet, but I wouldn't say it is Lexus quiet. The engine (particularly the CVT) is fairly loud and unrefined-sounding under hard acceleration but fades to the background. Fuel economy around town is definitely in line with EPA estimates, easily 40MPG. Some trips I beat that, some trips I don't. Note on my two long trips I averaged about 35MPG, with the cruise set at 79MPH. Three reasons for this, one is I took the drive in cold weather with winter fuel blends that get lower mileage. Two, drive much above 70MPH and the MPG falls. Three, with cruise engaged the hybrid system has very little chance to activate. When I disengaged the cruise through Chicago traffic my MPG improved. This is the least annoying new car (of three) I have owned in the last ten years. That doesn't sound like a compliment but it is. Toyota did a masterful job of eliminating the systems annoyances, or at least allows me to shut them off. The adaptive cruise system is brilliant. The lane centering works extremely well, although Toyota does require you to forcefully handle the wheel to avoid shutting off the system. Wireless CarPlay has thus far connected flawlessly and quickly. Toyota requires interacting with the screen only for infotainment and system setup options, and still uses manual controls for climate, THANK YOU! I think the car is beautifully styled on the outside. The interior won't win any styling contests, although it is highly functional and feels very well made. Most Crowns including mine come in a very drab black interior color that wouldn't feel out of place on a Spinal Tap album cover. On the Limited, you can get a macadamia white that will burn your retinas, or a chestnut brown that adds barely more contrast to the tomb black. C'mon Toyota, let's freshen up the interior color choices. The Toyota app works very well, but I don't use it much. I did switch off some of the unneeded notifications (such as my car being unlocked, or to check the back seat for left-behind passengers). Bottom line, I was looking for a good looking, smooth, comfortable car, that allows me to minimize my trips to the gas station. The Crown succeeds fully in its mission.
Nothing else like it

2025 Toyota Crown Platinum 4dr Sedan AWD (2.4L 4cyl Turbo gas/electric hybrid 6A)
I purchased my Crown Platinum in January and now have almost 4K miles on it and couldn't be happier. Besides the distinctive coupe-like silhouette, my favorite feature is the engine/transmission, acceleration is smooth and effortless. The interior is quiet, though there is some minor wind noise above 80 mph and in strong crosswinds. It has 5 driver's mode settings that can adjust the … steering, transmission and suspension. While not a sports sedan, in the "sport" setting it corners smoothly and rides relatively firmly though not harshly despite having 21" wheels, which is my preference. The brakes work fine with a linear response but the pedal is soft, I'd prefer a firmer touch. The seats are extremely comfortable, well padded with good lateral bolsters to keep you in place and are also automatically heated and ventilated. Climate control uses real switches which is a plus. The center screen is large and I find that I prefer the native Nav system over Google maps from my phone. After the free trial ends, I'll have to decide if the subscription price is worth it or not. One good thing is even if my phone is connected, I can still listen to SiriusXM via the car satellite where it sounds better than from my phone app. Speaking of sound, I've read a few mediocre reviews regarding the JBL system but I've found it to be quite good with nice clear highs and decent bass. Certainly better than the Bose systems in my last 3 vehicles. The dashboard screen has 3 separate displays which can be customized for looks and information provided. However, the personalization process is less than intuitive. I found a helpful YouTube video to assist the set-up but if I want to adjust things in the future I'll probably have to review it again. There are numerous safety features and I especially like the birds eye camera view for parking. One that is very annoying though was the driver attention monitor. It would go off whenever I touched the center screen and sometimes when I was only looking at it. Thankfully, it's easy to turn off this function. The trunk is deep but relatively shallow, which makes sense given the coupe-like shape of the Crown. It was nice to find a spare tire included which seems to be a rarity nowadays. With a mixture of city and highway driving, including a couple of road trips, I'm getting 27-31 mpg on a tank of regular gas. All in all in very please with my Crown Platinum.
