2025 Toyota Crown Review

A choice of two distinct hybrid powertrains are on the 2025 Crown menu. Each one caters to different driving styles. Either way Toyota Crown horsepower is ample for these large hybrid cars.

XLE and Limited trims feature the Toyota Hybrid System (THS). This system pairs a 2.5-liter engine with front and rear electric motors. The impressive fuel economy is an EPA-estimated 41 MPG combined. This makes the Crown an incredibly efficient choice for daily driving in Phoenix.

Built for precision, the THS offers more than efficiency. It provides a smooth and responsive driving experience. Electric motors provide instant torque at low speeds. This makes for effortless acceleration in every situation.

For a more exhilarating experience, the Hybrid MAX powertrain is standard on the 2025 Toyota Crown Platinum. A 2.4-liter turbocharged engine combines with a powerful eAxle electric motor. This setup generates a thrilling 340 horsepower and 400 lb-ft of torque.

Toyota Crown Hybrid MAX models deliver impressive performance that will please any luxury sedan shopper. The hybrid car boasts a 0-60 mph time of 5.7 seconds. This puts it on par with some sports sedans. Yet the Crown Hybrid MAX maintains an EPA-estimated 30 MPG combined.

Ensuring confident driving in all conditions, an all-wheel drivetrain is one of its valuable standard features. Toyota Crown AWD provides an extra layer of assurance on Phoenix roads, whether you're navigating monsoon season in busy urban traffic or exploring the mountain roads outside the city.

Electronic On-Demand AWD is standard on the Crown XLE, Limited, and Nightshade trim levels. This intelligent system uses a separate rear-mounted electric motor to power the rear wheels when needed. It seamlessly shifts between front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive. When extra traction is required, the system can send up to 80% of the power to the rear wheels.

Platinum Crowns take it a step further with Full-Time Electronic AWD. The front-mounted hybrid motor is paired with a rear-mounted eAxle electric motor to distribute power to all four wheels. This provides enhanced stability and responsiveness, especially during acceleration. The system continuously adjusts the front and rear power distribution to optimize traction and handling.

With all-wheel drive capabilities, Phoenix drivers can enjoy peace of mind in all seasons. The Crown delivers the confidence and control you need to enjoy the journey.

Despite its elevated ride height, the Crown maintains a composed and confident demeanor on the road. The engineers at Toyota have carefully tuned the suspension for a smooth and comfortable ride, even on rough pavement. You'll appreciate the Crown's ability to absorb bumps and dips without sacrificing handling agility.  

Assisting the Hybrid Max powertrain, an Adaptive Variable Suspension (AVS) is another Crown Platinum standard. AVS constantly monitors road conditions and adjusts the damping force of shock absorbers to optimize ride comfort and handling. 

Precise steering and responsive brakes further enhance the Crown’s driving experience. You'll feel confident behind the wheel, whether maneuvering through city traffic or tackling winding mountain roads. The sedan’s driving dynamics strike a harmonious balance between comfort and agility, making it a joy to drive in any situation.
