ALL NEW 2023 TOYOTA CROWN WITH NEW HYBRID POWERTRAIN (EXTENDED)

EV Channels Review

The 2023 Toyota Crown marks a bold reimagining of the full-size sedan segment, offering a unique blend of elevated ride height, premium comfort, and hybrid powertrains. The reviewer highlights the distinct appeal of the three available grades: XLE, Limited, and Platinum, all featuring standard Electronic On-Demand AWD. A key differentiator is the choice between the efficient Toyota Hybrid System (THS), delivering an estimated 38 MPG combined for XLE and Limited trims, and the performance-oriented HYBRID MAX system exclusive to the Platinum grade, which boasts 340 HP and an estimated 28 MPG combined. The interior is praised for its spaciousness and comfort, with features like standard heated front seats across all trims, and ventilated front and heated rear seats on Limited and Platinum. The elevated driving position and standard adaptive variable suspension (on Platinum) contribute to a sophisticated and confident ride. While the video doesn't explicitly state a real-world range test, the MPG estimates provide a clear indication of its efficiency.
