EV Channels Review
The 2023 Toyota Crown XLE is presented as a premium, eco-friendly sedan that aims to blend luxury with efficiency. The reviewer highlights its all-hybrid powertrain as a key differentiator, delivering impressive fuel economy figures of 42 MPG combined, even on the base XLE trim. The interior is praised for its spaciousness, comfortable cloth seats with leatherette accents, and upscale materials, noting that even the entry-level model feels premium. Positives include the quiet cabin, smooth ride, and the availability of modern features like wireless charging and a digital gauge cluster. However, the reviewer points out that trunk space is only slightly better than the Camry and the rear seats aren't the easiest to fold. While the Crown replaces the Avalon, it's positioned as a unique, taller sedan with a fastback roofline, blurring lines between traditional sedans and crossovers. The reviewer concludes that it feels more like an affordable Lexus than a typical Toyota, making it a strong contender for comfortable, efficient road trips.
