2024 TOYOTA CROWN PLATINUM HYBRID MAX

EV Channels Review

The 2024 Toyota Crown Platinum Hybrid Max is presented as a premium, full-size sedan offering a blend of performance and efficiency. The reviewer highlights its attractive two-tone exterior, comfortable and well-appointed interior featuring bronze accents, and a comprehensive suite of technology including a 12.3-inch infotainment screen with wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto and a premium JBL sound system. The 340 horsepower hybrid powertrain is praised for its ample power and smooth delivery, particularly in Sport and Sport Plus modes, while the AWD system and 21-inch wheels contribute to confident handling. Key criticisms include the fixed panoramic glass roof, which the reviewer wished was an opening sunroof, and the vehicle's substantial price tag, approaching $56,000 MSRP. Despite the cost, the reviewer concludes it's a relaxing and capable vehicle, representing the largest sedan Toyota offers, effectively replacing the Avalon.
