Brian isn't blind Alex, he probably just likes modern art.
The car is basically a more expensive Camry, with no more interior room, no more truck space, is higher off the ground without providing much more ground clearance, and pretty much worse than an Avalon in every way besides tech, which in a Toyota just means you get judged by the car and it beeps at you when it's not happy with what it sees. I was initially excited about getting a crown in the US, but now that it's just turned out to be a half baked CUV with none of the advantages and half the disadvantages, it's off the list.

So the additional ground clearance is just to lift the seats off the ground a little more but doesn t give SUV chair-like seating? Maybe the lift is also intended to make the car look more imposing like a Challenger/Charger. My wife s two second reaction was that it looked too racy, especially in the two tone and she turned her nose up at it. The two tone paint wasn t my cup of tea until she said that so now I m reconsidering it.

Once the next Camry is revealed, that car will likely be more appealing than the Crown, which is not what Toyota wants to hear. The Crown is disappointing. This is a product I d expect Toyota to build in 2018. Most aspects of this car are bland or underwhelming, which it seems is what Toyota owners are willing to live with for the sake of reliability.
Toyota buyers need to branch out to other brands.

What was Toyota thinking when they did this new Crown sedan-cross? Not much legroom over the Camry, less cargo room than the Camry. It's like Toyota copied Nissan's playbook for the current Maxima (which is smaller inside than the Altima.
Anyway, what a terrible looking vehicle too. New Crown sedan-cross joins the current gen Prius and first-gen Mirai in the Ugly Toyota club

this two tone scheme is terrible. I think where it's gone wrong is how extensive it is and where the colors are split comes off looking far too awkward and more like the bumpers are from black cars. the two tone alone would be a reason not to buy for me IF it was the only option. thankfully, the single color is not too bad looking.

Swing and a miss from Toyota. Toyota if you see this, please figure out your seat ergonomics. They are awful right now. The people want better seats and more lumbar adjustment, more height adjustment. One of the only reasons I pulled the trigger on my 2023 Supra manual, is that the seats are BMW. My wife s 2021 Sienna seats are trash.

Thanks, Yes they should bring the Estate(wagon) version here and the sedan should be a liftback/5-door. It makes no sense to me to continue to have fastback/sport back sedans with tiny trunk openings instead of liftback/hatchback designs which are more practical and useful. My old 07 Mazda 6i 5-door was very sporty and useful.

Obviously, this is targeting an older crowd. Probably wise considering who buys sedans these days, but pretty sad for the Crown name plate.
I think the real question is how the prime version will be priced and the MPG. With subsidies and this being the only normal sedan option it could be quite interesting.

Great review as always, not a fan of that 2 tone exterior. 52k for a depreciating asset. no thanks. I'll keep my 2002 Lexus ES300, rides like new with new struts and is as quiet as a new car. Sound insulation is great. Quality is unparalleled. Everything still works. Nothing is broken.

the unfortunate reality of the pricing of this vehicles and vehicles alike, is you have to mentally add in all the absurd dealer mark ups which will be inevitably applied to this car. the platinum will be easily over 60k all things considered which makes it a bit disappointing

Luxury according to Toyota: turtle shell lines with mismatched body panels and flat work truck wheel well guards. Four cylinder engine with a prop rod out of a Toyota Tercel. With a 6spd transmission and all for only 50+ thousand dollars? Where do I sign up!

If you want/need a chunky AWD sedan, I suggest checking out Subaru's Legacy. Huge trunk, more robust AWD and BETTER gas mileage (despite not being a hybrid) at 35mpg on the highway. Not sure why it's never included in these kinds of comparisons.
