The Toyota Crown Estate is the fourth model in the Crown lineup, positioned between an SUV and a wagon. Available in hybrid and plug-in hybrid variants, the PHEV offers 302 hp and 89 km (55 miles. Japan gets a 302 horsepower version of the wagon.
Sold overseas as the Crown Signia Estate, you might be surprised to know Japan offers a whole range of vehicles under the smaller Crown sub. Toyota Motor Corporation (Toyota) announced that it will commence sales of its all. Toyota has finally launched the Crown Estate in Japan, more than a year after the nearly identical Crown Signia debuted in North America.
This model blends the best of a wagon and an SUV, and. It's most accurate to approach the 16th-gen Crown as a departure from tradition. One look at Toyota's U.S.
lineup, and that departure is obvious: The sedan isn't sold here. The "regular" Crown offered here is the "crossover-type" in Japan, where Toyota offers a lower-slung, smaller Sport version alongside the traditional sedan. Toyota is bringing multiple variants of the Crown to America, but we won't see this rear-drive luxury sedan that's offered with hybrid and hydrogen powertrains.
The Crown Sedan and Crown Sport won't be offered in the U.S., but the second Crown vehicle, known as the Crown Estate in Japan, is coming to America as the 2025 Crown Signia SUV. Both Toyota Crown Estate models come with Dynamic Rear Steering (DRS), a feature not found in the North American Toyota Crown Signia. So the million dollar question is, since there is a PHEV version for the Crown Estate, will we see it here for the Crown Signia? I'd hypothesize maybe, primarily because of the tariff environment here.
Luxury always comes at a cost, but there are some models, like the Toyota Crown Signia, that justify every penny you spend.
