2024 Toyota Crown Review

Рет қаралды 224,174

Күн бұрын

Toyota has been building the Crown sedan for decades, but not like this. In 2023 it relaunched the Crown in the U.S. as a mid-size hybrid, and it's got all-wheel drive. Let's find out if this quasi luxury car is fitting a niche, or if it's kind of an oddball out in left field.

The engine options are 2.5l and 2.4l turbo hybrids… the base model engine is NOT smaller as you kept saying, and the “CVT” is actually what Toyota calls eCVT and has absolutely nothing in common with more conventional CVT transmissions. It’s also a lot smoother on the road than the conventional transmission in the Platinum model. A tiny bit of research goes a long way

I stand corrected. Thank you. I thought mine came with the 2.4 four-cylinder but it actually has the 2.5. I checked the build sheet and that confirmed it.

CVT's are fine. I never had an issue and had a few. I actually had to get used to the clunk of a traditional Tranny when I traded in my 2022 Avalon Hybrid on my 2024 Crown Hybrid Max. The CVT on the Avalon was smooth. Don't get me wrong I love the power of the 6 speed, it just caught me off guard. Have not had a reg Tranny in over 10 years (Toyota, VW, Nissan)

I just bought a 2024 Crown with the small 2.4 liter 4 cyl. I am real happy with it. Good ride and since it has the small 4 cylinder, I get excellent fuel milage . Still getting used to the buttons and how they work, but that will come. It gets lots of looks and nice compliments. It is the XLE model, so I've added a window tint, dash cams, and a daily dusting, ( its gray with black interior). It is to new to give an accurate mpg, but 40+ sounds about right. I also got a good price for it. The extra perks that you can add to it (platinum model ) is why they are more expensive.

So my question is, is that?Should I buy a camry or should I buy a crown for my first legit car? Is anybody have any good advice On what should I do.

@tylerxanderson 8 күн бұрын

Personally, for a first car i would go with the camry. only because it’s a lot smaller than the crown. the crown is a pretty bulky vehicle and if you like that, more than a closer to the ground seating, i’d go with the crown.

@ralphschreckengost6865 4 ай бұрын

One thing I will say about the crown is the front grill. It looks better than the 2024 Camry and so much better than the 2025 Camry that looks like an old cheese grater I like the higher ride height don't like the two-tone paint or the moonroof and would like to see it in a solid white color

It has regular e-CVT like other Toyota hybrids. In addition to e-CVT, this trim has an automatic transmission. Weird! What it doesn't have is a SPARE tire! What an engineering wonder for 53K !

@djplonghead5403 25 күн бұрын

The limited model compares with the Lexus es 300h. Both have very similar, if not the same, powertrains. If you want to get the ES with similar features as the crown limited, like vented seats, heated steering wheel, etc, then you are at 49k. The crown takes the lead in things like the standard larger screen and sunroof. The ES is better with things like the wooden trim with lighting, 10 way seats instead of 8, option for a power trunk, HUD, and a much better sound system. The crown limited is 50,000 with the advanced park. Dealers seem to be offering a $2,000 discount to get them to sell (at least where I am from). That $48,000 is pretty close to the ES with similar options. The only thing with the Crown is that you can’t get some features you may want- power tilt/telescope wheel, opening moonroof, better sound system, etc. This is annoying because the Avalon has a few of these features. Overall, I think that the crown limited is better than an ES in terms of standard. If you find/build an ES with some options it is quite a bit better than the crown.

@copefrazier 5 ай бұрын

did a test drive last week - the interior does not have much sound deadening which really means you can’t call it a luxury car with all that noise. Dash and infotainment was nice, but your probably better off with a prius with much better mileage

@djplonghead5403 25 күн бұрын

Heated vented seats are standard for the 2025 crown. Not on the 2025 Camry. That also means the crown will get standard leather seats (not softex). Power passenger seat? Climate concierge- I’m not sure if the new Camry has that. Also just the better seating position is nice.

As a Prius owner who would like a higher car for my aging hips and knees this car is a consideration. Give me the electric drive train with the gasoline assist (the lower power higher fuel economy option similar to the Prius and Camry hybrid). I would be very reluctant to get the turbo even if the fuel economy was the same. I have no plans to buy a turbo, or GDI without port injection, or a sleazy mechanical CVT. As we love our station wagons (SUVs, minivans, sport wagons, etc.), please bring us a lift back version (like my current Prius). I really like the hybrid synergy drive hybrid. Most of the electric car goodness without the electric car drawbacks.
