Performance and Efficiency
Each Toyota Crown model offers a hybrid powertrain under the hood, but they're built with different priorities in mind.
The Toyota Crown Limited runs on a 2.5-liter 4-cylinder hybrid engine paired with an electronically controlled continuously variable transmission (ECVT). This system produces 236 net combined horsepower and is built for efficiency, delivering an estimated 42 city/41 highway MPG. It's a smart choice for daily commuting or longer road trips where fuel savings are a priority. Plus, you can confidently adapt to various road conditions with standard all-wheel drive and multiple drive modes—including Eco, Normal, Sport, and EV Mode.
On the other hand, the Toyota Crown Platinum leans into performance with its Hybrid MAX 2.4-liter turbocharged engine. This setup pairs with a Direct Shift 6-speed automatic transmission and cranks out a robust 340 net combined horsepower. If you enjoy a more responsive driving feel or want added punch for merging and highway cruising, the Platinum model delivers. It also adds unique drive modes like Rear Comfort and Custom and Dynamic Rear Steering for enhanced agility at low and high speeds. Despite its power, the Crown Platinum still returns a respectable 29 city/32 highway MPG, making it a well-balanced performer.
Technology and Active Safety Features
The Toyota Crown Limited and Platinum trims are well-equipped with cutting-edge technology, ensuring a connected and confident drive.
At the heart of each cabin is a 12.3-inch Toyota Audio Multimedia system with wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ compatibility. Each model also includes an 11-speaker JBL® Premium Audio system with a subwoofer and amplifier—providing rich sound whether you're listening to music, podcasts, or navigation prompts.
Toyota Safety Sense™ 3.0 is standard on both trims, offering a comprehensive suite of driver-assist features like Pre-Collision System, Lane Tracing Assist, and Road Sign Assist. The Crown Limited also includes Front and Rear Parking Assist, with Automatic Braking for added peace of mind during low-speed maneuvers.
The Toyota Crown Platinum builds on that with extra tech, including a Panoramic View Monitor with 360-degree overhead and curb views—especially handy in tight parking spaces. A hands-free power trunk adds further convenience, letting you load cargo even when your hands are full.
Digital Key capability is available on the Crown Limited and standard on the Crown Platinum, allowing you to unlock and start your vehicle with your smartphone (with an active Remote Connect subscription).
Interior Comfort & Convenience
Both models offer a luxurious cabin experience, starting with leather-trimmed, heated and ventilated front seats that keep you comfortable year-round. Rear-seat vents and thoughtful cabin materials enhance the upscale feel throughout.
The Crown Limited focuses on elegant simplicity, offering everything you need for a premium drive without excess. If you're after a quiet, efficient ride with just the right amount of luxury, the Limited trim hits the mark.
The Crown Platinum steps up the ambiance with additional features and customization options. From available bi-tone exterior colors to its more advanced drive modes and power trunk, it's designed for drivers who want a little more from their daily drive.
