2026 Toyota Crown Trims Comparison
Which 2026 Crown trim does Edmunds recommend?
Probably the British Crown, for it has survived millennia despite … sorry, you meant the Toyota. For that, we'd recommend the base XLE. There's very little base about it with heated and ventilated front seats, wireless phone charging and the same 12.3-inch touchscreen as the upper trims. The Limited's key additions seem insufficient considering the price premium. Also, despite all the good things we've said about the Hybrid Max powertrain, it's exclusive to the Platinum trim that's awfully close to $60,000. Eek.
2026 Crown trim level differences
The 2026 Toyota Crown is offered in four trim levels: XLE, Limited, Nightshade and Platinum. The first three are powered by one of Toyota's fuel-economy-focused hybrid powertrains that produces 236 horsepower. The Platinum's Hybrid Max powertrain uses a totally different hybrid concept, complete with a six-speed automatic and a more constant blending of gas and electric power. It produces 340 hp and 400 lb-ft of torque. Every Crown has all-wheel drive.
