EP 228: EV SALES IMPROVE, ALL ABOUT THE TOYOTA CROWN SIGNIA, DRIVING THE LEXUS UX

EV Channels Review

The Toyota Crown Signia is introduced as an all-new crossover for 2025, built on the TNGA-K platform, sharing attributes with the Crown sedan but boasting a distinct, gorgeous profile that the hosts suggest can be called a station wagon. It features an elevated seating position (25.8 inches off the ground) for easier ingress/egress and a commanding view, though not as high as traditional SUVs. The vehicle offers substantial cargo space, up to 6.5 linear feet with seats folded, and is designed for urban driving with a lower ride height. It is exclusively offered in hybrid, all-wheel-drive configuration, with two trims: XLE ($43,590) and Limited ($47,990). The hybrid system provides 240 horsepower and an estimated 30 MPG combined. Toyota believes there's strong consumer demand for hybrids, citing dealer feedback. The target buyer is described as an 'urban explorer' seeking premium comfort and versatility for an active lifestyle. The Crown Signia is expected to arrive in dealerships by the end of the month.
