THE 2025 TOYOTA CROWN SIGNIA IS A HYBRID POWERED CROSSOVER WITH LEXUS WAGON VIBES

EV Channels Review

The 2025 Toyota Crown Signia aims to fill the gap left by the Venza, offering a stylish, hybrid-powered, long-roof wagon alternative to traditional midsize SUVs. The reviewer highlights its distinctive styling, which leans more towards a wagon than a crossover, and praises the standard all-wheel-drive hybrid powertrain delivering 240 horsepower and impressive fuel economy, achieving over 40 MPG in city driving, though highway mileage fell short of EPA estimates. The interior is noted for its premium feel, especially in the Limited trim with real leather, heated/ventilated seats, and a large infotainment system, though it doesn't quite reach Lexus levels of luxury. Cargo space is adequate but surprisingly less than a RAV4 Hybrid when seats are up, though significantly improved over the Venza when folded. Driving dynamics are comfortable and competent, with responsive acceleration, but the suspension exhibits body roll and lacks feedback. The reviewer finds the Crown Signia to be a compelling, albeit pricey, option for buyers seeking a unique vehicle that straddles the line between Toyota and Lexus, offering a more premium experience than a RAV4 Hybrid but undercutting Lexus models.
