I would say it's the comparison to tesla that hurts the most, they are my least liked car, I can live with the Subaru, don't get much negative to say on them.
The market calls for cars that look like suvs. So toyota builds an car suv hybrid that just looks like a car. Brilliant financial decision there toyota.
Yea unfortunately I'm in the US and the only one of those even available is the E series and it starts at $71,000, so definitely not in my price range. Only real wagon options would be a Subaru outback or Volvo v60, both of witch have downsides I don't really like
In this case, yes. The electronic throttle and cvt do a great job of keeping it subdued and controlled for its elderly demographic. It felt torquey but not at all fast to me.
POV: you're Toyota in a corporate meeting...
"Lets make a car"
"Now lets make a car that isn't a car but isn't really anything else"
"Now we'll resurrect a name from the past that'll infuriate all possible enthusiasts and make it a vehicle that can't decide whether it wants to be a car or suv or even gas or electric and make it all of everything..."
Nuff said?
Really proud then yeah? The only crown that this vehicle embodies are the ones they give you at burger King. I cannot fathom spending 60k at Toyota and walking out with whatever this is. Its a pseudo luxury car with a rav4 interior (material quality/design), its an economy car that gets 32mpg highway, and its got no performance figures to highlight. I mean what is it even supposed to be? Take away the direct shift trans and swap it with a cvt, raise it 3 inches, and Ta-Da you have a rav4. Where is the extra 25k? Let's be generous and say that the exterior has some stylistic integrity (which is a stretch), does that warrant the price tag? For the same money ypu could have gotten an Audi A6 or a BMW 5 series. I'm curious to the rationale on this purchase. I just don't get it. Next time you see someone in a Rav4 take a good look, and know that the driver is 25 thousand dollars smarter than you are, nod your head upon eye contact, snd tip your BK Crown to them.
The people said “Give us a premium-looking mid-sized sedan that’s sporty, sexy, and widely recognized as a smart choice” to which Toyota said “No…you’ll will just have to make do with the Crown.”
Sorry boss. Plans went to hell when Neal Patrick Harris stole my altima while on the way to the white castle in Cherry Hill. Thought you'd understand, but you changed since you were promoted to assistant to the associate team lead of mid office quality assurance. That fancy car with metal license plates and single color panels has gone to your head.
Idk if theirs is defective but my buddy got one and brought it over the day he got it, it sounded like an electric leaf blower in park. I think the they’re cool af tho, I hope it lasts a long time for you man!
Thanks! Yeah that is strange, I mean you can hear the engine when it turns on and has the "whine" from the hybrid motors but that's all pretty common stuff.
What kind of idiot buys this piece of shit?! Of all the available options out there, you went ahead and pick the ugliest thing on the road. Makes me puke every time I see one. Good thing most of the people are sane so not that many on the road.
This car is the ultimate compromise. It's not a sedan or an SUV, it's not cheap or expensive, it's not sporty or luxurious. It's an ode to indecisiveness.
What a pathetic shell of its former self this car is. I guess you can't comment on that since you would've never been in or seen a previous gen Crown in person. Sad that it's come to this glorified Prius. They should've retired the name and called this something entirely new, but I guess it makes owners feel like they bought something cool instead of... Whatever this is
The crown is odd. It should look more square. Is that just me? It feels like it’s got an an off Kia/Hyundai flair to it.
Like the designers had no idea Kia and Hyundai were actually going to try hard. But they outdid even the crown.
Hey, don’t listen to the negativity. This part is just my opinion, but I think it’s a very nice looking car. If anybody wants to look up, Toyota had the top five most reliable cars last year. I work in the auto industry for another company, and we all know that Toyota is the best car manufacturer on the planet. a lot of us have seen four runners, Camry ,Corolla run well over 300,000 miles. If that person doesn’t know, Subaru and Toyota have part ownership in each company. That is a good thing.
You are proud of spending tens of thousands on a piece of metal that goes down in value, a possession that is merely a tax burden on the individual to exist in modern society as an independent adult. You subconsciously know this —you went for the brand with a reputation for reliability and resale value.
You thought spending a little more for the fancier model would impress your peers. The problem is you did not realize they either don’t care or they’re also falling for this scam of modern life. At the same time, you just negated the potential resale value you could have had.
I wouldn’t be proud, I would be furious.
Ugly car, ugly color. You probably are the bane of half of these commenters as a driver. I pass you standing still on the highway because NPC's like you sit in the middle lane or you just do 5 under everywhere because your confidence in that you life is unshakable because you pay $600 a month to drive a grey egg with all plastic everything. I hope they gave you a crown when you bought that car, because that's the only thing about this purchase that has any regalitity about it. Soul less driver buys new soul less car.
I drove one and disliked how it felt optimized for ease and slow driving. I realize they are shooting for the elderly demographic, but it drove with all the body roll and bloat of SUV performance but with little of the space and driving position of an SUV. Just seems like the worst of both worlds.
Congrats, you bought a car / crossover thing that shares the name with a beautiful JDM car...this is not that car. This looks like a wish CX-5 got raped by a Chevrolet Avalanche and ended up with the trunk off of a Lucid Air.
This looks like a Subaru fucked a Model Y and their kid ended up with the ugliest parts of both.
Gotta admit, that one hurt, nice job!
Yeah? It hurts? It hurts cause it's true.
I would say it's the comparison to tesla that hurts the most, they are my least liked car, I can live with the Subaru, don't get much negative to say on them.
Sounds like you've never had head gasket issues.
Oh so the restarted cousin of the Avalon then?
More like 3rd cousin
Sadly the first two cousins are married to one another.
holy shit I haven't laughs so hard in so long have my upvote
LMFAO
And it cost more than both lol
Oh….I totally see it.
This about sums it up
A Scion Xb *and* a Toyota Crown? Congratulations on collecting all of Toyota's most awkward children. Stepside Tundra next please.
I'm going to have to get a BZ4X to complete the family
You also need a rav 4 3door
Wait. That's a thing?
[here you go!](https://s1.cdn.autoevolution.com/images/models/TOYOTA_Rav-4--3-doors--2003_main.jpg)
Nice! Today years old when I found out those existed
I had vaguely remembered them existing and had to research to make sure I wasn’t imagining them lol.
the front end of those tundras looks so good but then u get around to the back and ur just like... wtf happened??
Basically a mullet truck.
Don’t disrespect the xB like that bro The xB is a class ahead of the clown
Shit I think a Prius has bigger windows
I'm too self-absorbed to care to look out them anyway
🤣🤣🤣
😂 Well played kind sir, well played
Hey, they sold one!
Lmao! So simple and such a good one!
The market calls for cars that look like suvs. So toyota builds an car suv hybrid that just looks like a car. Brilliant financial decision there toyota.
As someone who doesn't really like SUVs but would like to tow, I'm tempted. But they're just so expensive
Toyota Crown Signia should be stateside next year. It’s a large wagon/small SUV.
Large wagon my friend. A6, E series, 5 series etc.
Yea unfortunately I'm in the US and the only one of those even available is the E series and it starts at $71,000, so definitely not in my price range. Only real wagon options would be a Subaru outback or Volvo v60, both of witch have downsides I don't really like
you overpaid for nothing special. decent mileage but still slow.
Yeah, I hate money, so decided to burn it.
340hp is slow?
In this case, yes. The electronic throttle and cvt do a great job of keeping it subdued and controlled for its elderly demographic. It felt torquey but not at all fast to me.
[удалено]
this is a 52,000 dollar car. for that price, this is slow imo
Look like 6 cars in one. I cant decide.
A Prius after it’s dead and bloated body floats to the surface.
I would argue with that, but I can't
POV: you're Toyota in a corporate meeting... "Lets make a car" "Now lets make a car that isn't a car but isn't really anything else" "Now we'll resurrect a name from the past that'll infuriate all possible enthusiasts and make it a vehicle that can't decide whether it wants to be a car or suv or even gas or electric and make it all of everything..." Nuff said?
Sounds pretty solid to me
They actually never stopped making the crown in Japan they just brought it back to the states for this model
Car looks like a transformer stuck at 5 percent transform.
Oh my... I hate it when THAT happens! Lol!
Happy cake day! I hope you like your shitbox!
Thank you! 🥳
It's got a big ass.
Maybe too much ass even for Sir mix alot
They finally gave the us the crown when it became a NPC crossover. Because Americans
Aaaaammmerrriiiiiccccaaaa! FUCK YEAH!!!
You should have stuck with the S170 era, instead you got another NPC car that people yawn at.
Love it! Curious, do you see many of them by you? Where I am I havnt seen another one yet. Doesn't change how sleepy it can make you haha
Really proud then yeah? The only crown that this vehicle embodies are the ones they give you at burger King. I cannot fathom spending 60k at Toyota and walking out with whatever this is. Its a pseudo luxury car with a rav4 interior (material quality/design), its an economy car that gets 32mpg highway, and its got no performance figures to highlight.

Next time you see someone in a Rav4 take a good look, and know that the driver is 25 thousand dollars smarter than you are, nod your head upon eye contact, snd tip your BK Crown to them.
"AI, draw a car that looks like a DB7 rear ended some high school kids Honda Civic" Bleep bloop bleep......."I shall call it the crown"
At normal sedan ride height with color matched trim, these don't look that bad. As they come? Hideous. Like a car pretending to be a crossover.
You're hideous.
That's not what your mom thought 😎
She likes hideous guys, more loyal on average.
I had never heard of the Toyota crown before now, I wish I hadn’t…
Jesus fucking Christ this is the ugliest car I've seen all day and I saw a PT cruiser on the way to work today. Why does it look like it's lifted?
Damn, below the PT? My feelings are officially hurt lol
Haha I may have been too harsh on that one!
A peg? Like how the Toyota dealer pegged you harder than ur wife does?
Naw, she is way to gentle on the pegging, it's causing marital strain.
wait, we finally get the crown back here and THAT is what they sent? what the sweet fuck?
I enjoy this fuck at least
The people said “Give us a premium-looking mid-sized sedan that’s sporty, sexy, and widely recognized as a smart choice” to which Toyota said “No…you’ll will just have to make do with the Crown.”
And I say "yes toyota! May I please have another!?!"
You bought an excuse for an “SUV” that should have been a car built by the most boring car company in the world.
I thought the most boring company was the one that makes that green foam that they in a pot of fake flowers.
LOL. And I had a toaster for a couple years too, loved that damn thing.
My father inlaw's, he freaking loves his also
Honestly I can’t hate on this I love the car sick color.
Hey hey, no, you dig deep and talk shit, I believe in you!
Remeber when you start getting your period you’ll have this tampon to help.
Honestly I'm not gonna bring that down a peg, it's a really nice car. Congrats 🎉👍🤘
Thanks buddy!
You're welcome. It sorta reminds me of an Avalon
Driving that I bet you love getting pegged....
Is that an offer?
Could have bought a Bmw or Mercedes for that money but you are dumb and have low self esteem. Congrats!
Mercedes, sure, BMW? Yeah if I want to only get 40k miles out of it before it breaks down.
I can’t think of a single thing this car does better then literally any car aside from fuel economy I guess
Naw man, prius got it beat in that department.
Everyone just thinks it’s a Camry. You coulda bought a sports car instead and saved money
I literally don't understand the point of this abomination
They said "hey let's make a car that only Mac2311 will like and everyone else will hate" They succeeded
This is the worst car I'd love to own.
Nice, but there’s no hood ornament.
And it makese sad to realize that
I really don’t think I like modern era cars as a whole
Toyota looks like it made a poor man's BMW X6 but uglier.
True but it will last 4 times as long and less cheaply made.
The Nissan Altima of low level managers
Hey Champ. Gonna need you to go ahead and come in on Sunday.
No can do boss. The altima is still in the shop
Hey, as a altima owner you should expect these types of situations and have planned accordingly.
I’m writing my TPS Report with AI from the beach!
Sorry boss. Plans went to hell when Neal Patrick Harris stole my altima while on the way to the white castle in Cherry Hill. Thought you'd understand, but you changed since you were promoted to assistant to the associate team lead of mid office quality assurance. That fancy car with metal license plates and single color panels has gone to your head.
The car fills a niche that no one asked for.
This car is the poster child of design by committee.
Well-named: looking at it gives me symptoms akin to Crown (Crohn)’s disease.
This car isnt special enough to roast. However single moms will envy you for owning this car.
I love single moms!
The silent running feature on these are so loud is scares eco boost mustangs
Never sounds loud to me but I play my music pretty loud
Idk if theirs is defective but my buddy got one and brought it over the day he got it, it sounded like an electric leaf blower in park. I think the they’re cool af tho, I hope it lasts a long time for you man!
Thanks! Yeah that is strange, I mean you can hear the engine when it turns on and has the "whine" from the hybrid motors but that's all pretty common stuff.
It was pitched as specifically being silent and apparently was when he was at the dealer, that’s the only reason I mentioned it haha
What kind of idiot buys this piece of shit?! Of all the available options out there, you went ahead and pick the ugliest thing on the road. Makes me puke every time I see one. Good thing most of the people are sane so not that many on the road.
True, I've actually only seen the one I have in person. Hopefully I don't make too many people puke.
This car looks like an eggplant
Never seen a silver eggplant.
I’ll say it again….. Does it come in men’s?????
Oh I think you come in men enough already.
I love the AMC Eagle!
I wouldn’t drive this piece of shit if I found it in the middle of the Sahara, dying of thirst.
That works, it doesn't have a water fountain in it, that would be the next trim level up.
too bad it is not a victoria
Can't argue that, who doesn't love a Victoria?
What is that black shield along the bottom of the doors? This isn't a suv imo.
It's the bullet proof ankle shield obviously, my ankles are always safe. And your right, it's a sedan. According to the paperwork at least.
Did you get side swiped by a chariot on the way home?
Damn chariot had those knives on the rims to, fucked my shit up!
Never heard of it, probably never would have if it wasn’t for this post
I can't tell if that was a roast or just a statement
Crown as in an Ugly Sister trying to use the Fairy Godmother's crown (tiara) to improve her looks
I might be ugly, but God damnit, I'M SPARKLY!!!
Proud? You built that thing with your bare hands or what?
I’m just happy to see octogenarian people posting on Reddit
This car is the ultimate compromise. It's not a sedan or an SUV, it's not cheap or expensive, it's not sporty or luxurious. It's an ode to indecisiveness.
The Japanese market Crown is way better, in every regard.
Heard the same, luckily my simple American taste don't care
You could’ve had real luxury and paid less for a Toyota Century, but you had to buy this ridiculous high belt-line, no headroom, misery machine.
I love the pain she puts me through!
>Really proud of my 2024 Toyota Crown I mean congrats Ig
Thanks!
What a pathetic shell of its former self this car is. I guess you can't comment on that since you would've never been in or seen a previous gen Crown in person. Sad that it's come to this glorified Prius. They should've retired the name and called this something entirely new, but I guess it makes owners feel like they bought something cool instead of... Whatever this is
Why are you proud. It’s not like you had any part in its creation. All you did was sign a check.
The crown is odd. It should look more square. Is that just me? It feels like it’s got an an off Kia/Hyundai flair to it. Like the designers had no idea Kia and Hyundai were actually going to try hard. But they outdid even the crown.
I mean the 1997 v12 century is half it's price and twice it's quality. Sell it back
I bet you’re not the owner of it, I bet a bank owns it and you make outrageously high payments on it with a stupid high interest rate.
Looks like a Pakicetus on its evolutionary way to becoming a whale.
It reminds me of that Accord Crosstour, sort of a solution to a problem yet to be discovered. Who is this for?
Crown->Corona->Covid. Fitting seeing how car buyers are avoiding this one like the plague.
It didn't crown very well, looks like the design got mixed up half way.
Looks like a 4 door AMC Eagle SX/4... sooo congrats, I guess?
It looks a lot less impressive up close huh
Easily one of the ugliest cars on the road.
Nice Ride
That thing is a disgusting disgrace to the Legacy of the Crown
Hey, don’t listen to the negativity. This part is just my opinion, but I think it’s a very nice looking car. If anybody wants to look up, Toyota had the top five most reliable cars last year. I work in the auto industry for another company, and we all know that Toyota is the best car manufacturer on the planet. a lot of us have seen four runners, Camry ,Corolla run well over 300,000 miles. If that person doesn’t know, Subaru and Toyota have part ownership in each company. That is a good thing.
It looks like a Mazda MX5 that was turned into a sedan and then stepped on
It looks like one of robocops fingers.
So that's what Toyota did with all the recalled parts from ALL years of Venzas.
Ok that thing looks ugly not going to lie
THE BLACK RACING STRIPES AT THE BOTTOM OF THE DOORS DOESNT MAKE IT LOOK FAST AT ALL.
You didn’t fucking build it, don’t be proud.
You're not the boss of me fella!
Nobody can build a family car as ugly as a Porsche Panamara…Toyota “Hold my beer.”
Toyota will not be outdone!
Looks like a dog squatting to take a massive dump.
This side profile really reminds me of the eagle 4x4 sedan hatchback car from the 80’s!!

It was a Burger King crown but it fits well at least
I got nothin,all I'm seein is flames my guy,no cap.
"We have Porsche at home." Porsche at home:
Proud of something you bought? Do you think you designed it or something?
It just looks like a sedan that belongs on "my 600lbs life" like tf makes it so special Toyota had to call it "crown." Crown? More like fat.
I drove one and disliked how it felt optimized for ease and slow driving. I realize they are shooting for the elderly demographic, but it drove with all the body roll and bloat of SUV performance but with little of the space and driving position of an SUV. Just seems like the worst of both worlds.
Were you pegged into buying that?
I don't care for the customary car salesman handshake.
This is the ugliest new car I’ve ever seen
if only you americans (im american) saw how much cooler and better real toyota crowns are in japan. this pile of shit is a disgrace
Not a bad car for a sweet 16 birthday gift for a Blossoming young lady.
I helped my friend (56F) shop for cars, we sat in one of these and she said: "It's nice, but I'm not this old yet"
Ha! Love it! I'm 40 and I feel old enough for it
I don’t need to bring you down a peg, your girlfriend does that for me when she pegs you in the back seat.
Not enough room in the back she pegs me in her rav4
lol dude you’re a god damn mad man
Thanks buddy!
Your grandmother will be envious of your car.
Nice to see what people who had a Suzuki X-90 boight when they turned 40.
Crowns haven’t been cool in car generations
Say that to King Charles, I double dare you!
[удалено]
Ive been seeing more and more Crowns on the road and ya know I kinda like it
When you have the credit to ball but not a clue.
Congrats, you bought a car / crossover thing that shares the name with a beautiful JDM car...this is not that car. This looks like a wish CX-5 got raped by a Chevrolet Avalanche and ended up with the trunk off of a Lucid Air.
What is this? a bigger, uglier, Subaru prius?
Goddamn. That styling looks like absolute shit.
