2025 TOYOTA CROWN SIGNIA HYBRID LIMITED

EV Channels Review

The 2025 Toyota Crown Signia Hybrid Limited is presented as a stylish and comfortable alternative to larger hybrid SUVs and minivans. The reviewer highlights its attractive design, particularly the "fire engine red" color and black/red rim combination, and praises the interior's elegance and the practical inclusion of physical climate controls. Legroom in the rear is noted as ample, though headroom is just adequate for taller passengers. The vehicle's primary drawback is its non-plug-in hybrid nature, with the reviewer expressing a strong desire for a PHEV option. Real-world fuel consumption figures were impressive, with the reviewer achieving 4.3-4.5 L/100km in the city (beating the official rating) and just over 6 L/100km on the highway (matching the rating). The 1.2 kWh NiMH battery and 2.5L four-cylinder engine with two electric motors provide a smooth, comfortable ride, but not sporty performance. The reviewer recommends the Crown Signia for those seeking a hybrid that avoids the typical SUV or van form factor, provided they are content with a standard hybrid system.
