Heating things up for 2025, the Toyota Crown is adding a new Nightshade Edition to the Crown sedan lineup. Featuring new dark badging, black handles, and 21-inch 10-spoke wheels with matte-black finish, the Toyota Crown is sure to turn heads. Built off the Limited grade, the Nightshade Edition adds a bold and striking contrast to the lineup.




The XLE, Limited and Nightshade grades are equipped with THS that pairs front and rear electric motors with a 2.5-liter engine. This highly efficient hybrid system has an EPA-estimated 41 MPG combined city/highway rating. The system's nickel-metal hydride battery output supports responsive acceleration at low speeds and provide a satisfying driving feel.

All-Wheel Drive
The XLE, Limited and Nightshade grades come standard with Toyota's Electronic On-Demand All-Wheel Drive and the Platinum grade comes with Full-Time Electronic All-Wheel Drive, two highly efficient systems that take maximum advantage of the hybrid powertrain's benefits. 



On the Platinum grade, Full-Time Electronic AWD paired with the Hybrid MAX performance hybrid system delivers power to the front and rear wheels via a front-mounted hybrid motor and a rear-mounted, eAxle electric motor. This system supports stable AWD performance and satisfying acceleration thanks to being paired with a direct shift six-speed automatic transmission. (posted on conceptcarz.com) Full-Time Electronic All-Wheel Drive adjusts between a 70:30 and 20:80 front- and rear-wheel power split, depending on the driving situation. This new AWD system enhances the drive force of the rear wheels and provides the feel of rear-wheel-drive maneuverability, straight line stability and responsive acceleration. 

Drive Performance
While the Toyota Crown lift-up sedan's overall height stands above other Toyota sedans at 60.6-in., Toyota engineers wanted to ensure confident handling and a great driving performance.

A combination of lightweight, high-strength materials, like a ring frame structure, a combination of plate spot and laser welds on the body, and the use of structural adhesive support rigidity. The steering gearbox is mounted directly to the suspension member for a direct steering feel that minimizes line correction. And aero-stabilizing underbody panels with a 'stepped' texture help control airflow under the car, supporting downforce for a firmly planted ride. 

To help keep the driver and passenger sight lines stable, Toyota Crown's suspension consists of a MacPherson strut in the front and a multilink rear suspension in the rear. Swing valve shock absorbers are equipped on the Nightshade, Limited and XLE grades, and an Adaptive Variable Suspension (AVS) comes standard on the Platinum grade. Each option is intended to give Crown a smooth ride that helps minimize head movement. 

The Platinum grade's Adaptive Variable Suspension components have been tuned to support the high output of the 2.4-liter Turbo Hybrid Engine and eAxle. The AVS uses variable oil pressure shock absorbers. This system automatically controls the friction within the absorber when turning, controlling the damping force, reducing pitch at high drive torque and helping minimize the effects of bumpy roads. A linear solenoid type actuator is also equipped on the system to help minimize body pitch and roll. AVS tuning also changes based on the selected drive mode of NORMAL, ECO, SPORT, SPORT+, COMFORT or CÚSTOM, adjusting the damping force and balancing steering response, stability control and ride comfort. 

To help reduce vibrations felt by the drivers and passengers, suspension tuning uses a soft suspension bushing and a dynamic damper on the front suspension. Polyurethane-coated coil springs in the front help provide a smooth ride and high-damping structural adhesive on the body and reinforced seat mounting points reduces shake generated by the road.

Toyota Crown's handling is bolstered by an electronically controlled brake system featuring Active Cornering Assist (ACA), which engages the stability control to reduce understeer in certain cornering situations, so the driver feels the enhanced agility, not the system's operation.

Dignified Design
Built with master craftsmanship, the Toyota Crown redefines what it means to be a sedan in today's market. Sitting on standard 19-inch or available 21-inch wheels, the Toyota Crown provides an elevated stance and helps drivers get a clear view of the road. The height of the vehicle elevates the vehicle's hip point, the pivot point between the torso and upper legs, measuring at about 25-inches and enables easy vehicle entry and exit.

The dynamic body style is amplified by rounded and sweeping character lines which give it a head-turning look. Toyota's signature hammerhead front facia with daylight running lights located at the front tip adds to the Toyota Crown's alluring and dignified appearance. On the inside, its spacious cabin has a premium feel that offers unique color combinations and standard leather-trimmed seating. There is also a full digital display, piano key controls, vertical wireless charging port and the latest Toyota Audio Multimedia system with available 11-speaker JBL® Premium Audio system.

Available colors include Black, Oxygen White, Bronze Age, Heavy Metal, Supersonic Red and Storm Cloud. A unique bi-tone paint is available on the Platinum grade, pairing black paint that extends from tip to tail, with a pairing choice of Oxygen White, Heavy Metal, Supersonic Red, and Bronze Age.

Luxury-Feel Cabin
The Toyota Crown provides a luxury feel with a standard heated steering wheel and illuminated entry. Exceptional comfort is offered with standard 8-way power adjustable driver and front passenger seats. Front seat adjustments include slide, recline, tilt, height adjust, and lumbar support (driver seat only). Rear seats include ample cushioning and bolster support for maximum enjoyment. 

The Toyota Crown comes with standard heated and ventilated front seats that can be adjusted to three levels as well as heated rear seats. The seats offer comfort and style, with leather-trimmed seats now standard on all grades. 

Dual-zone climate control, standard for all grades, is accessed via a thin illuminated control panel that runs along the dashboard, just below the multimedia screen, along with other frequently used functions. All Toyota Crown grades also have a 12.3-inch color digital gauge cluster with selectable gauges. Drivers can select different displays with the push of a button, including a Hybrid System Indicator showing the driver system output and regeneration status to encourage eco-driving habits. As used on other Toyota hybrid models, the display suggests optimal amounts of acceleration for eco driving. 

Toyota Crown Platinum, Nightshade, and Limited grades include a standard fixed panoramic moonroof. For added function and ambience, in-cabin LED lighting adds a premium feel. Illumination includes overhead and front/rear footwell lighting, cup holders, ÚSB ports and door handle accents. 

Toyota Crown has drivers and passengers plugged in when it comes to charging devices. On the driver's side, a vertical-type wireless Qi charger with enhanced space efficiency comes standard. There is also a standard ÚSB-C and 12V charging port inside the console. A separate dual ÚSB-Type C terminal is also standard on the passenger side, with the insertion port intentionally pointing to the passenger seat. For rear seat passengers, two ÚSB-Type C ports are standard. 

To aid outward visibility, the Platinum grade comes standard with Panoramic View Monitor, which provides a 360-degree overhead view of the vehicle's surroundings. The Panoramic View Monitor is available as part of the Advanced Tech Package on the Limited grade. The standard backup camera features projected path and dynamic gridlines. For additional convenience, Limited, Nightshade and Platinum come standard with a Smart Key System that works on all four doors and trunk. Exclusive to the Platinum grade, drivers will have a Head-Úp Display that shares important information like speed and warning indicators as well as a power tilt and telescopic steering wheel.
