2025 TOYOTA CROWN SIGNIA DRIVING REVIEW | SAVE THE WAGONS!

EV Channels Review

The 2025 Toyota Crown Signia Limited presents a compelling package, particularly for those seeking comfort and excellent fuel economy in a unique wagon/SUV form factor. The reviewer highlights the vehicle's exceptionally comfortable ride, attributing it to a softly tuned suspension that effectively absorbs road imperfections, though it can lead to a floaty sensation at highway speeds. The powertrain, a 2.5L naturally aspirated four-cylinder with two electric motors producing 240 horsepower, is deemed adequate for daily driving and efficient, achieving around 33 MPG combined in mixed driving, though it falls short of the EPA's higher city/highway ratings. A significant point of praise is the interior quality, materials, and the available saddle tan color, contributing to a calm and premium experience. However, the reviewer expresses a strong desire for the more powerful TurboMax powertrain found in the Crown sedan, believing it would significantly enhance the driving dynamics. Criticisms include the lack of auto-dimming side mirrors, the absence of a head-up display, and notably, the lack of tinted rear windows, which could exacerbate heat buildup. Despite these points, the Crown Signia is recommended for its utility, comfortable driving experience, and unique styling, with the reviewer wishing for a sportier option to complement its practical strengths.
