A sedan that joined Toyota's lineup in Canada last year, the Toyota Crown returns in 2024 relatively unchanged. The model is once again available in two versions, Limited and Platinum Hybrid.
A sedan this officially is, but there's no denying the Crown's elevated silhouette; we can't blame those who insist it's an SUV. But then, that's just a label after all.
The large wheels add to the car's rugged appearance while preserving its premium look.
2024 Toyota Crown: What's new
For 2024, the addition of the “Beyond Zero” logo on the body signals its move towards electrified powertrain technology.
Models receive enhanced interior finishes with contrasting white stitching for black interiors and dark gray metallic finishes adorning various interior elements.
For 2024, the Crown Limited introduces standard equipment such as 19-inch alloy wheels, a Toyota intelligent key system on all four doors and rain-activated windscreen wipers.
Powertrains of the 2024 Toyota Crown
The Crown is powered by two hybrid powertrains. The Limited model features a 2.5L gasoline engine and two electric motors, which together deliver 236 hp, while the Platinum model benefits from a more powerful version with a hybrid system developing 340 hp thanks to a 2.4L turbocharged engine combined with electric motors.
