Overview
When you buy a 2025 Toyota Crown, you're getting something different. It's bigger than the typical midsize sedan and has a taller, sporty SUV-like profile. You can accent the Crown's looks even more with an available two-tone paint scheme. Furthermore, every Crown is a hybrid. If you find the typical sedan to be boring, the Crown might just be what you're looking for.

Edmunds spotlight: All hybrid, all the time
Whatever Crown you choose, it's a hybrid. Standard on the XLE, Limited and Nightshade trims is a 236-horsepower system that puts an emphasis on fuel economy, getting an EPA-estimated 41 mpg combined. We'd call that pretty good for a big all-wheel-drive sedan. On the Platinum trim, Toyota uses its Hybrid Max system, which puts out 340 horsepower. Just note that this performance-oriented system sees its EPA-estimated fuel economy drop to 30 mpg combined.
Competitors to consider
If you like the Crown but want more cargo room, the upcomingCrown Signia will debut in summer 2024 and is essentially a Crown but with an SUV body. If you're looking for something a little more traditional, both the Honda Accord and Toyota's own recently redesigned 2025 Camry should scratch your hybrid-sedan itch. Check out our test team's Expert Rating below to learn more about where the Crown shines and where it comes up a little short.

We drove the 2025 Toyota Crown on our test track and on real roads. Our Edmunds team conducts rigorous independent vehicle testing, driving 500,000 miles ayear.
Driving experience
7.7/10
How does the Toyota Crown drive? We didn't expect much from the Crown's driving experience as a comfort-focused hybrid sedan, but it surprised us. The Crown Platinum, with its exclusive Hybrid Max powertrain, offers smooth, responsive acceleration and impressive speed, reaching 0 to 60 mph in just 6 seconds — quicker than most rivals. Other trims feature a more efficient but slower standard hybrid powertrain.
Handling is composed and confident, even on winding roads. While its all-season tires limit grip, the Crown provides enough feedback to inspire confidence. The Platinum trim's adaptive suspension shines, softening rough roads in its comfort setting and reducing body motions in sportier settings without sacrificing ride quality.
Visibility is another strong point. A wide, unobstructed rear window and door-mounted side mirrors enhance natural visibility, offsetting slightly chunky front pillars. Camera-assisted visibility is excellent, with a surround-view system and "invisible car" feature that simplifies parking and lane tracking.
All Crowns come standard with Toyota Safety Sense 3.0, including adaptive cruise and Proactive Driving Assist. These features work well to reduce rush-hour driving stress.

Comfort
7.4/10
The front seats are adequate but not exceptional. At this price point, four-way lumbar adjustment would be preferable to the current two-way setup. The cushion comfort is mostly unremarkable, neither overly firm nor particularly plush. Rear seat comfort is also mixed. While spacious, the seatback angle feels slightly upright, making it harder to find a truly comfortable position.
The cabin is impressively insulated against wind and road noise, and the upgraded Hybrid Max powertrain in the Platinum trim remained quiet during testing. However, the standard hybrid is noticeably louder under hard acceleration. On the plus side, installing child safety seats is a breeze, with easily accessible top tethers and Isofix anchors behind removable pull tabs. The ample rear seat room also makes maneuvering seats in and out hassle-free.
In-cabin tech
9.7/10
How’s the tech? Toyota has stepped up its tech game with the Crown. The 12.3-inch touchscreen is generously sized, responsive, and paired with modern software. While the interface has a slight learning curve, physical controls are intuitive and easy to use. Toyota's top-tier voice recognition handles tasks like climate control and even answers questions like a smart assistant.
The Crown also excels in device support, featuring two USB-C charge-only ports near the cupholders, a USB-A data port in the armrest, and two more USB-C ports for rear passengers. Wireless CarPlay and Android Auto work seamlessly, while a wireless charger in the cubby ahead of the gear shift adds convenience, though compatibility may vary.

Storage & cargo
6/10
How’s storage and cargo? The Crown's trunk, at 15.2 cubic feet of capacity, is average in size. The rear seats fold down to increase cargo space should you need it. Up front, the moderately sized center armrest bin has dual hinges that allow you to open it from the driver or passenger side. Clever! Otherwise, storage is mainly limited to the wireless charger ahead of the shifter and the expandable cupholder with its removable partition. The glovebox is tiny, and there's no overhead storage for sunglasses.
Value
6.8/10
Is the Toyota Crown a good value? The Crown is packed with available features, but its interior design is a little underwhelming considering its price. The interior is well built, like any other new Toyota, but nothing inside looks premium or even premium-adjacent, which you might expect considering the Crown's elevated price compared to the few rival sedans it has. We do believe the bulk of the car's cost goes into the hybrid powertrain, but that may not be a convincing enough selling point for potential buyers.
Toyota's warranty coverage is pretty common for the class with three years/36,000 miles of bumper-to-bumper coverage and five years/60,000 miles for the powertrain. The first two years of scheduled maintenance are also free.

MPG
5/10
How’s the fuel economy? The EPA estimates the Crown with its base powertrain will get an impressive 41 mpg in combined city/highway driving. The more powerful Crown Platinum with its Hybrid Max powertrain (which is what we tested) drops considerably to 30 mpg combined. And in our testing, it was even worse, posting an underwhelming 26.9 mpg on our standardized test route. Perhaps this was an isolated result, but it could also indicate that the Crown may be more thirsty than its official numbers suggest. A little too Max and not enough Hybrid.
X factor
7/10
In Hybrid Max form, the Crown is more fun to drive than we expected. It feels a bit heavy, but it has decent power and is willing to move if you try to coax it into some corners at speed. While we aren't fans of the two-tone paint treatment that Toyota offers (seriously, guys, who thinks that looks good?), the Crown's overall look is futuristic and gets some attention on the road. Its slightly elevated ride height is also an interesting design choice and has some ergonomic benefits and adds to the overall uniqueness of the Crown's persona.
2025 Toyota Crown trim level differences
The 2025 Toyota Crown is offered in three trim levels:XLE,Limited,Nightshade andPlatinum. The XLE, Limited and Nightshade have a 236-horsepower four-cylinder hybrid powertrain, while the Platinum uses a turbocharged engine and hybrid powertrain producing 340 hp. The XLE Limited and Nightshade trims use a continuously variable transmission, while the Platinum features a traditional six-speed automatic. All models come with all-wheel drive.Compare the 2025 Toyota Crown trim levels in-depth.
Which Crown trim does Edmunds recommend?
The baseXLE trim is a solid choice for the Crown. This year it adds ventilated seats and a heated steering wheel to its long list of standard equipment, which also includes heated front seats, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, adaptive cruise control and blind-spot warning. The Platinum is much more potent but its turbocharged engine also uses more gas.

5 out of 5 starsCrown Driver from Michigan, 03/20/2024
2024 Toyota Crown Limited 4dr Sedan AWD (2.5L 4cyl gas/electric hybrid CVT)
I have purchased used Camry's and Corollas for all 4 of my nieces and nephews first cars. The vehicles run forever. I just traded my 2016 Avalon for a new 2024 Crown. Owned the Avalon for 8 years and put 130K on it. It was driven hard and most of its life was on a dirt road. The vehicle never left me stranded but it was time for a new Toyota. The Crown seemed to be the logical choice. I … liked the color and the interior. The Options on the Limited were very close to the Avalon. The car rides very well, handling is outstanding, steering response is tight with no play in the wheel. Acceleration is on the weak side but then again it is a luxury hybrid vehicle. The interior is laid out with the driver in mind. All the controls are at your fingertips. Noise is questionable, as the engine noise is very noticeable when you accelerate. I am still getting use to the vehicle with just over 1000 miles on it. I am averaging 38.9 miles per gallon. However, I drive it a bit hard.I think this car is in the middle when it comes to luxury. some place between a Lexus and a Cadillac. If you are looking for a well built vehicle that is on the finer side of style and luxury, I think the CROWN fits that category. When I purchase a Toyota I always feel like I am buying a vehicle that was made to last and be reliable. If the CROWN is like every other Toyota I have owned throughout the years, it will live up to the car makers reputation and serve my transportation needs for many years. For the quality of the car, styling, luxury and price, it is my opinion that the Crown is a worth the cost compared to the may high end car companies that want 10 to 30 thousand more and do not offer the reliability. I have test driven GM's, Lincoln's and other high end vehicles. You will not find a better comparative vehicle for your money than Toyota CROWN.
