HANDS ON THE ALL-NEW 2025 TOYOTA CROWN SIGNIA IS A WAGON FLAGSHIP WORTHY OF A LEXUS BADGE

EV Channels Review

The 2025 Toyota Crown Signia is presented as a compelling, upscale alternative to traditional SUVs, particularly for those seeking practicality and style. Reviewers highlight its striking exterior design, which they liken to a lifted wagon or a "shooting brake" vibe, and note its strong resemblance to Lexus styling. The interior is described as premium with soft-touch materials, though some find it a bit too businesslike and lacking the ultimate luxury expected of a flagship. A significant positive is the spacious and comfortable rear seating, offering better headroom than other Crown variants. The cargo area is also praised for its generous size and the convenience of flat-folding seats, making it ideal for road trips. While the hybrid powertrain offers a respectable 243 horsepower and good fuel economy (36 MPG combined), the absence of Hybrid Max or plug-in hybrid options for the US market is noted. The vehicle is positioned as a direct replacement for the Venza and is seen as a strong contender against models like the Lexus RX and NX, and even the Highlander, with reviewers suggesting it's the "Toyota crossover to get."
