After test driving one (2024 model), here is what I can say. Exterior looks better in person, is striking, and looks like nothing else on the market. That is a bonus for me. If you don’t like it then don’t buy it. Interior looks modern, fresh, restrained. I don’t like super flashy interiors so I like this one. Materials are very nice and feels better than it looks, the opposite of most vehicles. Gauge cluster is neat and can be customized to fit the user. Infotainment is boring and rather plain but works well and gets the job done. Climate controls is my favorite thing about the car. I do think it is missing a lot of things… Elegant ambient lighting Better trunk lighting 360 camera without the fancy wheels in the $3,600 package. It needs more real metal-door handles & other places Frameless mirror- maybe digital Better sound system Stronger HVAC- not a huge problem but could be better Physical home button when in CarPlay/auto 3 stage heated rear seats HUD (optional on limited) 4 way lumbar for driver and 2 pay for passenger Power trunk (optional on limited) Hood struts Amber turn signals Maybe a full size spare instead of a space saver Power tilt wheel (optional or standard on limited) More storage space Nicer key fob Less beeps and alarms (at least be able to permanently disable them) And MOST important for me, less subscriptions. Sure… you get some of it on the platinum, but I want those features without 21” wheels and 30 mpg- I want the 40. The Camry has a lot of these options but people who are looking at the crown will buy it over an XLE Camry because the Camry looks like a Camry- plain and boring. The crown looks distinctive. Edit- another pro to the Camry is the 5th gen hybrid system that improves engine noise and stays on electric more. That would be nice in the crown. Sorry for spelling errors- I am typing this on mobile.

I actually love the exterior of the Crown 😅. Standard ventilated front seats and heated rear seats is nice! Great video as always!

instead of Toyota logo there should b Crown 👑 Logo on it

It’s nice, I like the blue

You guys do a great job. Keep it up

I like a new Toyota sedan & I should buy this.

I’d personally go for the Camry rather than the crown with the standard engine because I think the 5th gen is more refined, less drony and is actually faster.

After driving Crown and being Avalon owner. I feel the only advantage is step in height. I don’t like how low Avalon is to the ground. I do feel the seats on Crown are better than Avalon but if you asked me to choose, I’d get 5th gen Avalon Limited over Crown sedan bc it has way more features for less. Also, Avalon handles better too. I don’t understand why Toyota removes features but increases the cost.

Why are you calling it Lexus for less ? A crown platinum costs 56K and Lexus ES costs the same. It does not make any sense to buy it than buying a Lexus ES

Thank you for taking the sound levels with the meter. I purchased vehicles on how quiet they are because I drive 100,000 miles a year.

toyota's most beautiful car

that car is cool

Excellent review!

I like your review!

Yes...because was built in Japan, that's why you are having that confy Lexus feeling .

Love your video car

Excellent video guys.

I drove it. It rides nicely and the higher step in height is welcome coming from Avalon but still locking some features to Platinum trim is dumb! Toyota, why force people to get hybrid max powertrain to get all tech features available? Dumb.

how the drive experience compares to G. Highlander Max ?

Y’all should have bought this…….😂😂😂

I like the nightshade but why is it almost 4 k more than the limited trim?

Toyota crown platinum the only car that you want to be seen in.

The question is why? Why a range topping hybrid pseudo crossover sedan priced like a Lexus. The Crown Insignia makes much more sense to me. Wagons tend to capture upscale buyers.

You can hear the CVT (or eCVT - really no difference) when there is casual acceleration. Unless going Platinum with the 6 speed automatic, nobody should pay $50,000+ for a vehicle with a CVT.

Price is OUCH!!!

Im debating between 2022 turbo mazda cx5 and 2021 acura rdx A spec(little more pricey).. Which you think is best and would be cheaper to maintain over the next 4-6 years..

I heard there’s a lot of wind noise around the windows seals for the front driver and passenger. Any comments.😊

Appreciate the review but checked this out to determine the difference between the nightshade and other models such as the limited that I have been considering. Not as clear as it could have been. Stating, "new on this 2025 crown" was unclear, because it has a limited badge. From Toyota's website limited and nightshade appear to be different models. Like the options on the limited but like the blacked-out nightshade version.

I don't understand what the market is for this car. Is it supposed to be a bigger camry that isn't really any bigger and gets worse fuel mileage? The interior looks exactly like the new camry. You can get a fully loaded camry with all the same features for almost 10k less.

LOL my 2016 Kia Soul has rear heated seats.

lexus = crown century is the top Toyota

I wish Toyota offered it as a hatchback with the rear glass opening.

55000$ for a Toyota Sedan nah uh

I have this exact car and spec - had it for a month - i love it but i can get over 35 mpg - commuting moslty highway - i do not drive crazy. i wonder why you got such higher mpg?

And yet, no reliability report for this car yet. The Lexus es is 83 which isn't bad.

It did catch my attention but i must agree it lacks alot & overpriced...let the fish line hook another worm i rather purchase 2020 lexus es 350

$49,000? Way too rich for my blood.

Why don't the crown come in a hatch back instead of a trunk Toyota get it together Toyota

Is there engine noise being pumped in through the speakers?

It doesn’t needs to be a Lexus likes it very good enough, Lexus is just the name to pay more 😂

what's going nang KZfaq

This car is out of your car’s league so how do you date this car?

People buy Toyotas for reliability and peace of mind not for great looks. Nice car though….

2025 Toyota Crown Hybrid HEV Limited AWD Nightshade Special Edition Fastback Crossover Sedan!

Not liking the big Bass mouth grill😅

Historically, crown is a luxury brand in Japan before Lexus. Why pay way more now? As you see mechanically it is same as camry! I rather wait for next gen of Lexus ES!

Looks great, but they priced it far too high. I'm not paying that much for this when I can get a loaded Hyundai Palisade for a similar amount of money with way more space and amenities.

Seats couldn't be uglier 😢

it needs a 360 CAMERA and it would been PERFECT! imo! why did they omit that... car is HUGE! and needs that CAMERA SYSTEM.. you can build the limited trim.... and add the advanced package... HUH TOYOTA!!!! WHAT THE F*CK?! lol the night shade can't even get the full options also we don't need 21 inches.... TIRES ARE PRICEY AF

Deal breaker-roof does not open

I think that this car is like an uglier version of the new Honda accord.

"Lexus like Toyota" Toyota is the only brand where even if they make borderline decent interiors and exteriors, they are still compared to Lexus. Honda, VW, Hyundai already offer far better premium quality interior and exterior than any Lexus or Toyota.. Such cheap feeling cars made by Toyota..

Nope. It’s not any better It still looks ugly, the interior isn’t luxurious, it doesn’t have features the Avalon used to and it’s overpriced and dull to drive

This car is so ugly. Seen a few on the road. (Not this trim) .
