    The 2023 Toyota Crown would be the first mannequin within the U.S. to supply the automaker’s Hybrid Max performance-hybrid system, which drives the wheels straight with electrical motor torque each on the entrance and rear, Toyota revealed early Friday. 

    What’s the Crown, you ask? If you check out the full-size Avalon Hybrid sedan, you have already got a fairly good image. Now add some faux-rugged black-plastic SUV cladding, elevate the roofline just a little bit, and sit on a booster seat.

    Yup, it’s nonetheless a sedan—simply, as Toyota places it, a “reimagined” one. The trim is doubtlessly only a trick to redirect the eyes as a result of, at 194 inches lengthy and constructed on a 112.2-inch wheelbase, with a width of 72.4 inches, it’s shut in all key dimensions to the outgoing Avalon. Overall top and seating top collectively have been boosted about 4 inches, with the previous now at 60.6 inches; however that’s definitely not the tallest sedan we will consider (the now-discontinued Ford Taurus is one). Toyota says that the Crown has a better trip top than the Avalon, however with the corporate unwilling to launch that spec but it would solely quantity to a fraction of an inch.

    The Crown, just like the Venza crossover and Sienna minivan, goes hybrid-only; however right here there are two utterly completely different hybrid techniques—one which emphasizes efficiency, the opposite emphasizing effectivity, with each offering all-wheel-drive traction. 

    Crown XLE and Limited variations include a 2.5-liter inline-4 engine with the most recent model of Toyota’s planetary-gear-based hybrid system, including a 3rd motor to energy solely the rear wheels. 

    As for Hybrid Max, this Toyota model of the Lexus Direct4 performance-hybrid system pairs a 2.4-liter turbo-4 engine with a six-speed computerized transmission and robust motors entrance and rear, for a mixed 323 hp—22 hp greater than the V-6 Avalon—and a kick of EV-like torque and energy supply that’s uninterrupted by shifts. Toyota says the all-wheel-drive distribution could be various from 70:30 to twenty:80, entrance to rear.

    The Hybrid Max model will obtain an EPA mixed score of 28 mpg mixed, Toyota anticipates, whereas the usual hybrid variations will obtain 38 mpg mixed whereas utilizing the most recent model of the automaker’s hybrid system outfitted with a high-output bipolar nickel-metal hydride battery. In these non-Max variations, that’s a lower of 5-6 mpg versus the present/outgoing Avalon Hybrid, so there have to be some backstory right here, equivalent to both plenty of further weight or far inferior aerodynamics given the roofline bump. 

    Top Platinum variations get distinctive 21-inch wheels, an e-axle system for traction, and an adaptive suspension with variable oil stress shock absorbers. All variations have a entrance strut suspension with a rear multi-link association. 

    In look, some would possibly see the Crown as borrowing a number of the attributes from the first-generation Venza—itself Camry-based. The massive wheels of as much as 21 inches play a component too, giving the Crown its “life-up” type. Inside, the sprint carries over the horizontally oriented, T-square look of the Avalon’s sprint, however with a extra monochromatic look that seems to veer away from its predecessor’s heat supplies and earthy tones.

    All variations of the Crown will include a giant 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster and 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system. Wireless machine charging is included, as is wi-fi Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, in addition to units of twin USB-C ports for entrance and rear occupants. Heated entrance seats and cloth seating are included within the base XLE, whereas the mid-range Limited and top-trim Platinum add ventilated entrance seats, heated rear seats, and leather-based upholstery. Limited and Platinum variations additionally get further lighting and a panoramic sunroof, in addition to 11-speaker JBL sound.

    On the protection entrance, the Platinum model provides an computerized parking system and a surround-view digicam system, whereas the entire lineup will get adaptive cruise management and pedestrian-detection and cross-traffic alert performance for its computerized emergency braking. Just because the Avalon, the Crown is constructed on Toyota’s TNGA-Ok platform and the automaker emphasizes that quiet and refinement are high priorities—with further sound-absorbing supplies to maintain wind, street, and engine noise at bay.

    With the American-made Avalon discontinued and its Kentucky manufacturing facility repurposed for making hydrogen fuel-cell modules, Toyota will probably be sourcing the Crown from Japan—with an arrival later this yr.
