I'm glad this a hybrid and not a full EV because I actually like it.

I’m glad they offer a car with no sunroof. Everyone of my cars has had a sunroof. I never use it. Increased body rigidity and quieter not to mention nobody will smash it to break into the car. You’re a hard-working guy there. Keep it up. You’re doing great. Appreciate you.

My brother has a Crown and absolutely loves it!! Had no idea they had this beautiful suv coming out!! Excellent cars!!

Wow ! Barret Smith Rd. You are out there. Need a good twisty bit car next time 🤣 Great review Joe 🤙🏼

I gotta say this: even if you keep zonking the rear wiper being at the low position instead of being tucked under the rear spoiler, you must realize that car designers putting it in the lower position means there is more of the important bottom area of the back window being cleaned for safety. Putting the wiper in the top position only clears and cleans the lowest middle point of the sweep.

Seen a few reviews in the last few days. All black interiors…I wish they would have made some of the saddle available. I think that’s the one I like. Otherwise…liking this and the ‘25 MDX, the Nautilus and Q7.

Joe and Lori and Steve keep up the good work real true and I love the video 👍

They should have just called it a wagon … wish more would bring them back … this lowered a bit would be 🔥

This is a lovely new model from Toyota. Excellent. Great video as always.

This was my second favorite car at the Chicago auto show! Absolutely love it.

What I wonder about with so many new headlight designs is how well do they work at night. I know you often have a limited amount of time with a vehicle but it would be nice to know how the vehicle works in the dark. Which brings me to another point, what is it about manufacturers who cheap out by not putting seat back pockets behind BOTH front seats and cheapen it further by not having rear HVAC controls. Surely it can not be that much of a cost issue if they simply did it as standard equipment across all trims.

Looks good Joe ! Tell Toyota I said good job 👍. Comfy ride with great mpg !! 😃

Amazing review Joe.

This has quite a few misses in terms of product. For a premium product, doesn't have the latest gen5 hybrid, has almost all the parts to make it a plug-in but doesn't and hence drops the potential torque and power that can come with it, no hud, lower towing capacity

There does seem to be some overlap in the Toyota lineup. There isn't anything wrong with the Rav 4 I might would go with that. I am thinking about the lack of memory seats in the XLE Crown.

Yes of course Joe & I might buy this one day.

I love this.... I got a 2024 Venza and I think I'll be it trading it in for one of then in a few years.

I’m trying but I just don’t like the color matching mid grill area. It may look ok on black or gray but not white in my opinion.

The Look of the Venza to me blows it away. Love ya Joe! 😊

I like the look, but I have heard that it’s using the previous generation hybrid system? Thought it’d be given the 5th gen system since it was released along the new Camry.

Great review. Placed my order for one.

If the "Crown" is a luxury brand, every Crown should have heated AND cooled seats

The best thing to come out of new Toyotas is the front

I like it. The crown looks better in this variation. They should bring some bold colors with it

Does it have a spare? Early reviews showed it didn't.

Toyota is so fond of the "Crown"... Camry - from Japanese word Kanmuri = Crown Corolla - Latin for the crowning portion of the flower Corona - obviously meaning Crown Tiara - another Toyota crown trim/model in the 60s

Joe can you please give us the price of the higher models when you are reviewing a base model. I don’t care about this particular car but just in general it’s nice to know the price range of the product range for the car.

On the Toyota website, it says that both the XLE and Limited have heated and ventilated front seats standard. Interesting that this one does not, perhaps pre-production?

The XLE does come standard with ventilated front seats as well as driver's side memory seat per official Toyota web site.

when you hit up the dollar store for candy on your way to the cinema. You will be getting great MPG. Nifty interior.

I think everything is great with this vehicle, agree with sunroof too. But REALLY wish they offered the macadamia interior that is in the sedan.

Crown Sedan is actually sold in Japan, what we have since last year is a wagon? Crossover? But the actual Crown Sedan in Japan is amazing looking like Lexus LS.

I hear they're delayed. But I'm buying one. Spectacular NON-TURBO vehicle.

I have a Toyota Camry 2011 without a sunroof and have never needed it. I dont mind a car company that gives me the option to have a sunroof or not

Ratti looks a little tired this vid. Awesome review my guy. Hopefully your doing well. Shame even the standard crown doesnt come with upgrades. They really left it wanting more upgrades

San Diego, you could fit a lot of fish tacos in that door pocket 🌮🌮🌮

That's the most beautiful Ferrari Purosangue I've ever seen

Joe, You must like candy and junk food, your always talking about it,. lol love your reviews and car talking, nice videos!!

Looks pretty good. The value factor is fine, if dealers dont get too greedy. Could be the "halo car" of the Crown line.

I like this vehicle in an XLE. I just wonder if it have rear cross traffic alert and Pedestrian dectection? I like Milk Duds and Dots!

It looks like it merges with other cars to form a giant robot, 2 crown signia will be the feet

Cooled front seats standard on both trims, that’s a preproduction model.

Its the wagon SUV of the Crown Signia 🎉

This vehicle is about to be an absolute win for Toyota

Joe, get a day off! You are super tired. Great job as always, but I am worried about you and Steven! I knew you were tired and then at the end you confirmed it by saying Steven hadn’t slept in 4 days. 🤣🤣

Nice looking, especially for a Toyota. I do wish they offered a performance version, with the GX V6 powertrain.

This is an impressive vehicle.

Note: Per the review I saw on another channel, this has no spare tire. Presently, the '24 RAV 4 does have a spare (and fog lights on most). Is this the Gen 5 hybrid system like they have in the '25 Camry? It is supposed to be more powerful without losing efficiency. (Judging by the 0-60, maybe it is.) I'm also waiting to see if the '25 RAV4 moves up to the Gen 5 system. Sounds like the gain on the Signia vs the RAV4 is a nicer interior and much improved handling/driving dynamics. Just watched a review of the RAV4 prime (XSE), and that tester did two 4-hour treks. She said the seats became uncomfortable after about 90 minutes. Those are things most testers don't get to test, nor do potential customers who might get a 30 minute test drive if they are lucky. Waiting for someone to spend less on a panoramic sunroof and more on better seats. Anyone know of a reasonably priced brand that has adjustable lumbar support for the PASSENGER? Seems to be a rarity.

Love your car video

Got to zonk the gloss... 🤣

I haven’t driven a hybrid in years. Where I worked we had a couple Prius rental cars. I hated how they drove. I felt like I was driving a golf cart. The gasoline engine would start and the car would jerk. Hopefully the current ones are better than that. I’ll have to drive one when available to see if it’s tolerable. If not I’ll keep driving my 2018 CR-V.

I like the RX styling but I like the Crown dashboard since it has BUTTONS!!!

I gave my 2014 Venza to a family last week member ready to purchase this. Now the release day is pushed back. 😡

I have a Rav4 hybrid and I am annoyed by the cabin noise, the only reason I am wanting to upgrade is less cabin noise and slightly bigger display and handling. i think one should always consider noise inside your cabin while buying a new vehicle, and also all the reviewer should also consider talking about it.

Do you like this or the RAV4 more??

Love the interior and specs but that weak engine/battery is making me say no

A prop rod and exposed rear wipers are 2 major zonks for 45k....

at first I thought it was a Lexus RX. The side profile kinda resembles a Jaguar F Pace.

My mom just traded in her RAV4 for this one and she loves it.

Like the look

Excellent review Joe! You know everything on the head I do disagree with you on the styling. I think the Venza looks much better and has more premium design elements. Just my opinion but love you love you love you man. Keep it up.❤

Another great review. Joe, I really enjoy your food references for storage specs and your 'Zonks''. You're bang on with your assessments. The Crown Signia Limited is going to be our next vehicle (we only get the Limited model in Canada). We are looking for an upscale, 2-row, hybrid and this one checks all the boxes. The fact that it doesn't have a turbo or require premium fuel is a plus. Personally I like the looks of this better than a Lexus and it shares the same powertrain as the Lexus hybrids.

When are these going to come on the lot?

No memory seat buttons? My 2010 Honda odyssey has it. Not buying it anymore

$45,000 is way too much!😳

Again. I wish they had the "crown" badges.😭

As a 2022 Toyota Venza owner I will wait for the Crown Sport, not a fan of the Signia. Toyota please bring the Crown Sport to the US.

The front grill seems inspired by Kia. What do u think?

Does the Signia have a HUD? Even as an option?

That poor volume knob looks lonely 🥺

What is Toyota doing putting rod hood supports. They did that on the 2025 Camry with its steel hood. For the MSRP, they should offer hydraulic struts. And no JBL even as an option. It’s a CROWN! I could live without the sunroof or rails. This seems to be pitched for different demographics than the Crown sedan. MSRP was a nice surprise. Still in Venza territory.

I think the car Joe is driving is an early model because the crown signia comes standard with heated and ventilated seats and heated steering wheel

You don't have an issue with 21 inch wheels? I find the fact that they look good is just not enough to counter all the negative aspects of having giant Heavy Wheels on your small vehicle

Greetings from Romania!

So does this ride as low to the ground as it looks? Is it more a wagon look than SUV?

I agree: the monotone, dark interior of the Crown sedan turned me off completely. Went with a Lexus ES instead (which still has the 300,000 mile six-cylinder engine, too!).

Joe, now that I know that you used to be a high school teacher I have this fear that I should be taking notes just in case there's a pop quiz at the end of the video!😱🤣

For the price it better be lexus quality.

6:32 why can't Toyota just stick with normal traditional Automatic gearbox ? At this point its all about cost cutting, and yet ,the car itself its not cheap. Its not your fault joe, you're just doing your job. For me i would Still go for the Mazda CX-5

Nice car but bit pricey though...$35-$38k range would be a steal for this car.

Im disliking the body colored grill

Why didn’t they put the hybrid max in this? 🤦‍♂️

In Japan Toyota named it Crown Sports and 4wd cost only USD $36k. Why US version cost so much more? They are identical except slight bumper molding design. Both made in Japan.

Love It!

Toyota, please bring a Station Wagon with the starting price of around $30k.

This trim advertises that it has a heated steering wheel and ventilated seats. Wonder if this was an oddball model.

Toyota needs to get away from CVT

my favorite movie candy is chocolate hersheys ❤

oh wow the Venza is being replaced already? things only been around for like 3 years

Snowcaps rock

The exterior for a Toyota looks pretty good but the interior is lacking in style IMO, if going for luxury it looks pretty bland and agree it could use some color. Great mpg! The tail light profile reminds me of the Jaguar SUV and the grill reminds me of the new electric VW bus.

Once again, it reminds me of the Hyundai Kona. How do they compare?

People actually very seldom use the sunroof.

I'm in love.

Joe , when are you bringing the Vinfast VF8 on throttle?

I don't want a sunroof so that is a plus for the XLE. Not even a standard sized sunroof. If you keep the vehicle long term and the sunroof starts leaking you'll be sorry you have a sunroof. They can be problematic.

Sooo...Nobody see's elements of the Lincoln Nautilus in the rear lights? Definitely Ford Escape lights inspired as well. Hmmm

Can’t wait to lower and throw some rims on it and really make it a wagon

Greys favorite movie candy is chocolate

Toyota halted production due to safety concerns. Really hoped to like this enough to purchase because i want a hybrid BUT CVT , parking sensors not std on base model, no functioning sunroof, no tinted windows. I will pass
