AN ALL-NEW TOYOTA IS TEASED! IS THIS THE NEW CROWN WAGON?

EV Channels Review

The video provides an in-depth look at the upcoming Toyota Crown Estate, teased at the Tokyo Mobility Show 2023. The reviewer strongly suspects this lifted wagon/SUV, reminiscent of a hybridized Subaru Outback or a modern Camry wagon, will be the new Crown model arriving in the US market, rather than the Crown Sport or the sedan. Key highlights include its practical wagon form factor, standard all-wheel drive, and a projected hybrid powertrain delivering around 236 horsepower and 40 MPG. The interior is noted for its Lexus-like quality and materials, though the limited dark interior color options are a drawback. While a plug-in hybrid variant is possible in the future, it's not expected at launch. The reviewer expresses enthusiasm for the Crown Estate's utility and design, particularly appreciating the potential for more conventional color options compared to the current US Crown's two-tone offerings.
