Cited from Toyota

On November 2, 2023, Toyota officially unveiled the third installment of the new-generation Toyota CROWN series, the "CROWN SEDAN."

Last year, Toyota introduced four new models that aimed to capture the essence of the CROWN for the future. The CROWN SEDAN, now officially announced, is the third model in the new-generation CROWN series, joining the ranks of "CROSSOVER," "SPORTS," "SEDAN," and "ESTATE."

The exterior of the CROWN SEDAN features a sleek and horizontal design that takes advantage of the FR platform, with distinctive "Hammerhead" front design and linear taillights. The body dimensions measure 5030mm in length, 1890mm in width, and 1475mm in height, with a wheelbase of 3000mm. The available body colors include "Precious White Pearl," "Precious Silver," "Precious Black Pearl," "Precious Metal," "Precious Bronze," and "Massive Gray," totaling six options.

Inside the CROWN SEDAN, you can choose between "Black" or "Mid-Brown" interior color options. The interior incorporates large woodgrain-style panels and features a layout that seamlessly extends from the instrument panel to the doors, creating a spacious and calming atmosphere. To add a touch of Japanese hospitality, the vehicle includes customizable LED lighting with a choice of 64 different colors, creating a soft and ambient lighting reminiscent of traditional lanterns, enhancing the depth and comfort of the interior. Additionally, there is ample legroom, ensuring smooth and easy entry and exit.

The CROWN SEDAN offers two powertrain options: a hydrogen Fuel Cell Electric Vehicle (FCEV) and a 2.5-liter hybrid model. The FCEV adopts the same system as the "Mirai" and features a motor that produces a maximum output of 182PS and a maximum torque of 300N·m, along with three high-pressure hydrogen tanks and a fuel cell. It can cover approximately 820km on a single three-minute hydrogen refueling, and it also comes with an external power supply function for homes and electrical appliances. The hybrid variant introduces Toyota's newly developed 2.5L Multi-Stage Hybrid System, providing responsive driving performance across various speeds by combining the engine with two motors and a multi-stage gear. It offers fuel efficiency and a quiet ride during high-speed driving while balancing powerful performance and fuel economy through downsizing the engine.

For safety features, the CROWN SEDAN comes equipped with the latest "Toyota Safety Sense" as standard, including systems such as the "Driver Abnormality Response System," "Adaptive High Beam System," and "Proactive Driving Assist," which assists with deceleration and steering when approaching preceding vehicles or curves.
