TORONTO, Ontario (March 27^th, 2023) – Toyota introduces an all-new, advanced automobile worthy of the most royal of names. The Toyota Crown features two powerful yet efficient self-charging hybrid electric powertrains, the all-weather confidence of an innovative electronic on-demand all-wheel-drive system, the connected services Canadians desire, and the advanced safety everyone needs.

“As more Canadians choose SUVs and crossovers, the Toyota Crown offers many drivers ample reasons to rediscover the driving fun, style, and comfort of a beautifully designed, well-engineered sedan,” said Cyril Dimitris, Vice President, Toyota Canada Inc. “We’re excited to share this all-new vehicle with Canadians.”

The Crown is crafted with an aerodynamic stance enhanced with striking elements designed to emphasize its dignified appearance. Large diameter alloy wheels ensure every Crown exudes a powerful curbside presence, while strong lines flow along the flanks to emphasize its sleek profile.

Inside, the Crown’s first-class cabin delivers exemplary comfort, defined by an attention to detail perfectly paired with its stylish exterior. Ample space and rich materials and finishes invite up to five adults to embrace a premium experience, while instrumentation and controls are thoughtfully placed to put everything within a quick glance or easy reach, without distraction.

A choice of two electrified powertrains delivers fast, powerful, smooth, and responsive performance plus impressive fuel efficiency.

• XLE and Limited models are built around the Toyota Hybrid System feature 2.5L four-cylinder engine, two electric motors, and an electronically controlled continuously variable transmission. The result is 236 system horsepower with an estimated fuel efficiency of 5.7L/100km (city/highway combined). These models feature on-demand AWD with a separate, rear-mounted electric motor to power the rear wheels when needed.


• Drivers who opt for the Platinum model with its HYBRID MAX powertrain will enjoy 340 system horsepower. This powertrain – features a 2.4L turbocharged engine, torque-heavy electric motors that contribute to an impressive 400 lb-ft of torque, and a direct shift six-speed automatic. The result is exhilarating performance and an estimated fuel efficiency of 7.8L/100km (city/highway combined). These models feature full-time electronic AWD with a rear eAxle featuring a high-output, water-cooled electric motor, plus Toyota’s Adaptive Variable Suspension system.

All models feature Toyota Multimedia – Toyota’s newest in-vehicle connectivity package – with a 12.3” touch screen, intuitive touch and voice activation controls, and connectivity with the Toyota App. Other standard technology features include a 12.3” multi-information display, the Toyota Smart Key System with Push Button Start, and the Qi wireless charging system for personal electronics.
