It’s been 50 years since the last Toyota Crown was sold in America
The Alas nameplate is making a comeback with an all-new 2023 iteration that the Japanese automaker brought to Detroit this year so you can decide if the sedan/crossover hybrid is for you.
The 2023 Toyota Crown is said to be the first sedan to offer Toyota’s Hybrid Max powertrain system that produces a maximum of 340 horsepower, which is pretty good for a vehicle of this type that will arrive next year. It’s safe to say that we’re not used to seeing this type of body style in the U.S., or anywhere else for that matter. There’s also a crossover that makes for technically clever packaging. There’s not much rear, which is practical, and the high ground clearance makes it easy for you to get in and out.
Seriously, if you don’t need a lot of ground clearance for off-roading, at least appreciate the fact that you don’t have to slouch over the seat like Gandalf forgets after fighting that fire demon. Even more impressive is the color association interior with standard heated 8-way power adjustable driver and front passenger seats Lumbar support (driver only) Dual zone climate control Ambient lighting 12.3 inch display Wireless Qi charging for your mobile device A backup camera and more.
All grades get Toyota Safety Sense 3.0 (TSS 3.0) with improved sensors and better detection capabilities, for example a pre-collision system with pedestrian detection that can pick up motorcyclists and pedestrians in certain situations. Meanwhile, a rear seat reminder, blind spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert and hill-start assist control are also available at no extra cost. White is not too bad, okay
