Nice Crown Signia I love the way it looks and I feel like this is a dandy of an SUV. While some of the specifications aren't quite set in stone as of currently, I think this is still a very very nice & striking SUV however, there are still X factors & Y factors that need to be solved.
This 2025 Toyota Crown Signia has a stunning, classy design, both outside and inside. I hope they keep all the features they show in this pre-production model. YET, I was strongly disappointed it did NOT have the following features: 1) HEADS-UP DISPLAY: Yes, this feature may cost a bit more, but it is expected for a car in this category! For me, this would be a deal breaker. 2) LUMBAR SUPPORT PASSENGER SEAT, Why is Toyota penny-pinching here? It's about time to give the passenger the same comfort as the driver in a car like this. The driver is often younger than the passenger (long drives). How much could adding lumbar support to the passenger seat cost? The following two are features the 2024 Honda CR-V has. Ouch!! 3) BACK-PASSENGER DOORS that fully open, 4) BACK SETS THAT RECLINE Final comment: Car prices have increased considerably, much more than the cost of living. The shortage during COVID-19 increased prices, and since prices have not decreased, the supply chain issue has been resolved to a great extent. I sincerely hope Toyota will pay attention to these simple changes and bring to market a first-class winner!
Looking forward with more information on this crown. Looks really good. Really hoping they bring the Crown Sport to the US 🤞🏻🙏🏻🤞🏻🙏🏻. That model would sell like crazy here. Also, during the powertrain segment, what is the red car in the background? Thanks for the video.
@@dadoo985The purpose is to cost you an arm and a leg when a tree branch falls and shatters it. I have a standard moonroof on my Toyota Camry and almost never use it. It just makes it hot in the summer if it’s closed, and noisy if it’s open. I’d prefer that they made it an option, in order to save, those customers who don’t want it, some money.
Sitting at around the 40-55k price point they are manufacturing way to many vehicles that are competing with eachother. Ex: The Highlander, Grand Highlander, 4Runner, Land Cruiser, and the Lexus NX are all suv vehicles that fall into that 40-55k price range and have way better powertrain options and are a few are much more capable vehicles🤷♂️
True statement on the pricing but every vehicle you mentioned has a different target audience. Not too many people are cross shopping a compact NX then looking at a Grand Highlander or a Land Cruiser, etc, etc.
I love that there is another wagon “like” option other than volvo and Subaru. It’s a nice mix between the two. My only worry on this model is the actual headlight brightness, they seem extremely small and no fog lights. Also the ride on 21 inch rims being decent over bumps and potholes. My guess is it doesn’t have adaptive dampering like the regular crown platinum model with 21 inch rims
Ah, Toyota Crowns! They are a line of luxury sedans produced by Toyota. The Toyota Crown is known for its elegant design, comfortable ride, and advanced features. It's a popular choice for those seeking a blend of sophistication and reliability. The Crown has a long-standing history and is often used as a symbol of prestige in many countries. If you're interested in learning more about a specific model or have any questions about Toyota Crowns, feel free to ask, King!
@@michaelvella8511Am agreed with the opinions last year that Toyota kinda ruined the Crown brand by moving away from the sedan to SUV format, which now looks to get buried amidst the very same looking Harrier, Highlander, and RAV4, plus the Lexus Venza of which this Crown looks like a dumbed down version. Very sad end to the Crown luxury sedan.
Nice job, Fellas. Question: did anyone else notice the FOB? There were buttons for the doors that resembled something we'd see with power sliding doors (?). Did I miss something with the exterior review?
You never seem to mention front passenger cabin width...that is a big deal to many as myself. Elbow room and overall spaciousness has a lot to do with cabin width. Adding this info would raise the bar since I don't see any reviewers offering this info either. Enjoy your stuff and the sound level reporting is nice!
I like this car, one of very few new cars I would actually like to buy. But let's face it: it is a WAGON. They can call it a Signia or an SUV, but: it's a wagon. And that is what makes it desirable! Wish it was about $8,000 less though.
The car's front design is polarizing at best, the headlight location was first pioneered by Jeep and Hunyadi. Look is subjective, but I presume people do not buy Toyota for its look but rather for its reputation for reliability.
I like the look of its exterior, for the most part. The interior is nice too, except for some occasional gloss-black plastic in touch areas. Not thrilled with the power train, and it is too expensive, considering the competition from other vehicles in its price range.
Nice tutorial gentlemen. In your opinion, would you say that this new Toyota Crown is comparable to the Lexus NX. Or is it better ?? It looks like it is the same size as a NX and maybe even using the same frame and powertrain. Also is the pricing you gave seems very similar to the Lexus NX. If all this info is accurate what then makes this a better buy than the Lexus.
Ok. Let’s be honest. This is NOT an suv. I do like it’s look as a sort of station-wagon-esque crossover but suv it is not imo. And yeah, suvs should be boxy as otherwise they are fairly useless as a ‘sport utility’ vehicle.
Needs to be but given Toyota’s very limited ability to produce batteries don’t count on it right now. I think things will improve a lot (I hope) once the battery factories in NC or whatever it is gets competed.
So, now I'm confused. I thought the current Crown was a large car, replacing the Avalon. But now you're saying it's a Venza replacement. The Venza is a RAV4 based compact. So how big is this thing? Dimensions?
They don't give any official numbers other than "6.5 foot length with rear seats folded". By my estimation the cargo space with rear seats up, will be 35 to 40 cu ft. . which puts it at rav4 volume.
That keyfob is the wrong keyfob. You can clearly see buttons for a side sliding door. They must have given you the wrong keys. Just pause video at 4:45 and you will clearly see these extra buttons that look identical to the Sienna keyfob.
I don't know how big this car is. RAV4, Camry or Avalon size? You should really start with the drivetrain. At first I thought it was an EV, but you didn't mention it until later in the video.
1:00 That's not a "traditional" Crown, we aren't getting the true sedan version (There are 4 Crowns in total now) as that's only for just Japan and China, at least currently
Another Crown that we don't want in NA. Where is the Crown Sport? Toyota already has enough hybrid family crossovers and off-roaders occupying the same space, but no sporty SUV nameplate as a European alternate, not even on the Lexus side.
Me either! Had one a while ago and didn’t last a year with it. Traded in n lost a little money, but any loss was FAR outweighed by having a REAL TRANSMISSION!
I hope they don’t go over 40,000 these cars are costing too much money especially if you have the replaced batteries that may cause half as much as the car. That’s crazy.
I am unsure of this, but I would imagine that they needed to create a platform for European suitable models. The Venza is not sold in Europe, this will be (and it certainly suits the likes of the EU consumee like myself)....
Peter: why is it toyota is using this piece of garbage transmission (ECVT) I'm a cab driver for 38 years this is the worst transmission I have driven with my personal car a 2018 crv. But my cab is a Toyota rav hybrid with automatic transmission perfect. So to Toyota I suggest don't ruin this beautiful/ amazing car give the buyer the option auto transmission/ ECVT w/c is a piece of garbage.

It's ok at least for the looks. The interior is nice
I wish the interior came in the macadamia leather as in the sedan
I love this vehicle. One concern I have is that I'm 6' 3", and with the sunroof I'm worried about the headroom.
Continue worrying. Its a wagon.
6'3" is not 7'

No HUD, no power tilt and telescoping wheel? I'll stick to my Venza for now, but I like the look of it.
Why would you switch so quickly? Did you lease your Venza?

Agreed, though Mazda CX-50 (and maybe the upcoming CX-70) seems to be in that category now as well.

It's a preproduction model. Key design may not be finalized so they'll just program a key from another model, in this case, a Sienna

Hopefully they offer more than one wheel option for the limited. Not everyone wants dark grey/black wheels. Trends come and go.

Great video… do know if the driver seat has an extension like Lexus Executive package for us long legged drivers? Thanks.
Can I delete the glass on the roof? Never had a sunroof that I liked. Noise, danger and hailstones will smash 💥
Storm Smash, that's a no go for me
Drove the current Crown sedan and loved it. Wanted to buy one but than found out how expensive the oil (0W-8) is that it takes.
It's a nice car but I'll stick with RX
I agree Lexus is Toyotas top luxury not other way around !
Those cuts in the hood were 100% for the lights and they just didnt add it? Its kinda making no sense to me why theres just a hole.
Look at Japanese spec version, it does have lights in that dark slot on the US version.
The car's front design is polarizing at best, the headlight location was first pioneered by Jeep and Hunyadi. Look is subjective, but I presume people do not buy Toyota for its look but rather for its reputation for reliability.
4:45 What are the two door buttons on the FOB? almost looks like power passenger doors? wow if that is the case...Also, no remote start?
Does it have heads up display???
The 2023 and 2024 Crown does NOT have heads up display.
My 2021 Avalon Hybrid Limited does!!!
No, no HUD
It’s very nice!
I like the look of its exterior, for the most part. The interior is nice too, except for some occasional gloss-black plastic in touch areas. Not thrilled with the power train, and it is too expensive, considering the competition from other vehicles in its price range.

Its as big as the Lexus RX.
Are you telling me that the Crown is using the same frame as the Lexus RX ?? @@CRVgarage
@@lthdean that I don't know.
It might be a tad bigger.
Looks nice but how many toyota crossovers can people buy!
Damn it’s a huge tragedy they didn’t put the hybrid max engine in the lineup
Ok. Let’s be honest. This is NOT an suv. I do like it’s look as a sort of station-wagon-esque crossover but suv it is not imo. And yeah, suvs should be boxy as otherwise they are fairly useless as a ‘sport utility’ vehicle.
I agree. It's more of a lifted wagon, which isn't a bad thing.
Fantastic video as always!😸
To me this competes directly with the mazda cx 50. It’s definitely on my short list
Nice wheels, kind of reminds me of the Genesis GV70 in style. I wonder how many features will end up being subscription-only like Lexus is doing.
The window area behind the C pillar is a lot nicer looking on this than on the RX.
I didn't know you guys are brothers, awesome. Mason, I love your glasses.
Great review. I like the looks and practicality .....do you know if it will be offered as a PHEV as well later on ??
Needs to be but given Toyota’s very limited ability to produce batteries don’t count on it right now. I think things will improve a lot (I hope) once the battery factories in NC or whatever it is gets competed.
Thanks! Toyota hasn't said anything about that at this time
Do you guys think this more of a wagon versus a SUV? Thx!
It does definitely look like a wagon in person but ground clearance is about the same as a RAV4
will the rear doors have keyless access like the Venza?
Can the key fob start the engine to heat up during winter?
Looks like a handsomer corolla cross
Need an XLE version with the reliable 3.5 V6 and 8 spd automatic
The 3.5 V6 naturally aspirated non plug in version doesn't meet the upcoming emissions standards without a redesign.
Nice to see a wagon in the US
So, now I'm confused. I thought the current Crown was a large car, replacing the Avalon. But now you're saying it's a Venza replacement. The Venza is a RAV4 based compact. So how big is this thing? Dimensions?
They don't give any official numbers other than "6.5 foot length with rear seats folded". By my estimation the cargo space with rear seats up, will be 35 to 40 cu ft. . which puts it at rav4 volume.
2025 Toyota Crown Signia comes as a replacement for The Venza.Thts Specular🌹🌹🌹
what range do we expect?... RX350h gets close to 600 miles (with its 17 gallon tank)... hopefully, we get that with the Crown Signia
Nice informative video. The crown sedan comes with a spare tire. Does the Crown Signia also come with one? It is a big deal to me.
Looks pretty good, in an extremely competitive segment!!! ECVT😢
So its length is said to be 194" same as my highlander. Trying to figure out the difference.
Okay cool but now what’s the difference between Toyota and Lexus ?
I like the looks, but I wish that they offered it with a 3.5 liter V6.
I wish XLE trim will start below 40k price.
Plz make a comparison between Hyundai Palisade and Toyota Grand Highlander bcz I want to buy one of them❤
SUV nah more of a wagon.
Great video!
I hope the backseat gets more room, toyota lax the back space in any of their vehicles
WHAT IS THE POINT OF HAVING A SUNROOF THAT DOESN’T OPEN?!?!?!?
Let's in light without the leaks. Win win.
What's the ride height? Would want to turn it into a soft roader.
Why only 2 way lumbar? The Venza it replaces has 4 way lumbar.
Has this enough space for 4 golf caddy bags?
That keyfob is the wrong keyfob. You can clearly see buttons for a side sliding door. They must have given you the wrong keys. Just pause video at 4:45 and you will clearly see these extra buttons that look identical to the Sienna keyfob.

This is a lot better then venza
I paid 24k for my camry le in 2018. Now a toyota station wagon will be 50k. No way is it worth that cost.
Wait... 4th gen hybrid when the already released Camry has 5th gen. That's not good.
Wow
Just spring for a Lexus.
Is this Crown Signia of SUV height? Seems small height wise
Another Crown that we don't want in NA. Where is the Crown Sport? Toyota already has enough hybrid family crossovers and off-roaders occupying the same space, but no sporty SUV nameplate as a European alternate, not even on the Lexus side.
Put the B58 in it.
Just buy the AMG E63 wagon 😊
Wish it had 8 speed automatic. Not a fan of CVT
Me either! Had one a while ago and didn’t last a year with it. Traded in n lost a little money, but any loss was FAR outweighed by having a REAL TRANSMISSION!
the back with the seat fold down needs to be 4' x 8' so we can use it
Nice ❤🥰
The sedan/cross' look is polarizing, really? I thought it was hideous. This crown signia is gorgeous.
Why is Toyota building high end vehicles that compete with their own Lexus brand? Makes no sense
Not sure what is Toyota doing. They can’t manufacture enough new vehicles and sell it. On the other hand they keep developing newer models.
Pleather- not leather outside of the seats!
Xe nước bạn sao đẹp quá
3 motors ?
Why can Toyota bring a small SUV. This is yet another dang hugh SUV in its line up.
Corolla has a HUD but not the Crown? Not very regal.
I hope they don’t go over 40,000 these cars are costing too much money especially if you have the replaced batteries that may cause half as much as the car. That’s crazy.
Body lines sure replicate a Mazda
And what is the price
watch the full video
It'll be a 10k difference I'm guessing
It’s interesting but no thanks.
2025? We are only in Jan 2024. Is this a concept vehicle?
Nope it should be on sale in the first half of the year
I bought my wife a 2024 Lexus NX350h in April 2023. Yes it sounds weird.
No Hybrid Max = mistake
No horsepower for such a large suv; space above the wheels to the wheel well is H U G E ! Looks funny. Sorry, not for me....
cargo volume ? a yes noone knows......still
Should have been named Crown-RX
This is a Japanese original RX/Harrier
Why didn't toyota just take these crown concepts and just update the Venza. seem stupid to me
I am unsure of this, but I would imagine that they needed to create a platform for European suitable models. The Venza is not sold in Europe, this will be (and it certainly suits the likes of the EU consumee like myself)....
Grand Highlander is better. This car is too short.
LOOKS LIKE A ROLLS ROYCE
In what galaxy?
It looks as long as highlander. Will not fit into my garage. 14” longer than my Rav4 !!
