2024 Toyota Crown Platinum 4dr Sedan AWD (2.4L 4cyl Turbo gas/electric hybrid 6A)

Having read many reviews and after research into the Crown, and because of its unique look and rarity I decided to purchase a slightly used 2024 platinum. Pros: - Smooth (for a 4 cyl turbo) and powerful hybrid power train. - Very quiet and comfortable ride especially considering the 21 inch wheels. It handles road imperfections very well and I assume it is because of the adaptive dampers.. - Conventional automatic transmission that up shifts smoothly and down shifts well. - Distinctive looks and the fact that there are not many on the road. - Plenty of tech that seems to work pretty well although the systems are complex and not intuitive. - Very comfortable seats and interior rates high in overall look and function. - 5 drive modes from comfort to sport+ and full time AWD - Getting pretty good fuel economy (and on regullar gas)., around 27MPG. - It has a spare tire which is not always provided. - 3D overhead camera is amazing. It even shows what is under the car. - It can park itself? Haven't tried it yet and might not ever. - Plenty of safety systems which have not yet proven obtrusive. Cons: - Interior is moderately bland looking especially in all black. The materials are mostly nice but there is some hard plastic - even on the passenger side of the center console. The door panels look boring. There is some bronze metal colored accents but they are few and small. Some wood, carbon fiber or metallic trim could have been added for a more interesting look in the cabin But overall it is nice - Brakes seem very spongy. I have not had a hybrid before and I don't have experience with them and don't know if that is a characteristic of them, however it seems extra pedal pressure is requied to bring it to a stop. -Dashboard screen seems difficult to personalize with the many display options available. The l controls are not intuitive to personalize what is in effect 3 separate displays each with up to ten options.. - Already found a glitch in the infotainment. I was using wireless carplay displaying maps and listening to Spotify. To exit carplay the instructions are to hit the Toyota icon which will bring you back to the main screen (There is no home button). I could not get Spotify to stop playing and had to go into my phone and forget the vehicle wireless connection. As far as I can tell that only happens when listening to that App and was able to exit carplay when only using Google Maps. I was worried I would not be able to listen to Sirius XM and use Google maps at the same time but it turns out I can. - Toyota requires a monthly subscription to use the built in Navigation. Overall very happy with the purchase despite these issues which are probably similar to ones on almost all new vehicles with complicated Tech.

In February, we purchased a 2024 Toyota Crown Limited. This car is a beautiful, luxury riding hybrid without the Lexus price tag. We love the quiet ride, the nice interior, the look and feel of the car. We are getting average of 42 MPG. The vehicle sits a little higher than a regular sedan. Love the look of it and the color (heavy metal). The color is a mix of gray/brown, just as it sounds and is gorgeous in the sun! The size of the infotainment console is large and easy to manage. We are very pleased with our purchase.

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.

I'm a bit biased since previous car was a Prius, that at times reached the listed 50 mpg. My Crown, listed at 41 max has after 13 months settled in at 35.5. Best early on was 36.5. My XLE's acceleration leaves quite a bit to be desired. Handling, otherwise, is good. Appearance gets compliments. No other complaints. Buy again? Maybe.

Several months ago I was taking my time to find the right vehicle. I test drove too many to name. I noticed this different vehicle, sitting in the lot, so different that I was the only person to test drive this 2024 Toyota Crown XLE, and it had been on the sales lot for three months. Immediately I was impressed and took it on smooth roads, the highway and rough roads. I knew immediately that this was the vehicle. Most of the reviews of the Crown XLE weren’t very favorable but after driving it for over five months I’ve concluded that many reviewers didn’t do their job very well. This vehicle is criticized for the rear window being too small but it’s perfect. It’s been criticized for its phone charger but it’s exceptional. The media center is well thought out too. The ecvt is the most reliable transmission on the road. The seats are very comfortable with high quality material. I think the material is better than leather. The 2.5 litre engine in combination with the electric engine and ecvt rides perfectly and very reliable. 236 hp gives plenty of power. Sure, it’s not a muscle car but it’s plenty powerful enough whenever you need it and you feel very safe and secure in this well built vehicle. Over the 5 months I have owned it I’ve increasingly grown to appreciate it. My wife has a painful health condition and loves to ride in it because of how smooth and comfortable it is. (One of the main reasons why I bought it). Just think about it, Toyota has been making the Crown since 1955 and this model is the 16th generation. Experience tells us that Toyota is very reliable and knows what it is doing- Toyota keeps improving on its products and the Crown is built in Japan. You won’t be sorry if you purchase this vehicle. She’s a beauty.
