Toyota Levels Up the Crown
Toyota continues to redefine what a modern sedan can be with the arrival of the 2027 Toyota Crown. Blending the comfort and sophistication of a premium sedan with the elevated driving position of a crossover, the latest Toyota Crown introduces significant upgrades in hybrid technology, bold exterior styling, and premium interior features. With the addition of the fifth-generation Toyota Hybrid System, refreshed styling, and enhanced technology, the 2027 Toyota Crown is designed to appeal to drivers seeking luxury, efficiency, and performance in one distinctive package.
Fifth-Generation Toyota Hybrid System Delivers Better Performance
One of the biggest updates for the 2027 Toyota Crown is the introduction of the fifth-generation Toyota Hybrid System (THS 5) on the XLE, Limited, and Nightshade grades. The new hybrid powertrain pairs a 2.5-liter gasoline engine with front and rear electric motors to deliver responsive acceleration while maintaining an EPA-estimated 40 MPG combined.
Toyota has also added standard paddle shifters to these trims, giving drivers a more engaging and spirited driving experience. The Electronic On-Demand All-Wheel Drive system automatically distributes power to the rear wheels when additional traction is needed, enhancing stability and confidence in a variety of driving conditions.
For shoppers searching for a Toyota hybrid sedan that balances impressive fuel economy with everyday versatility, the 2027 Toyota Crown raises the bar.
Platinum Grade Offers 340-Horsepower Hybrid MAX Performance
Drivers looking for exhilarating performance can step up to the Toyota Crown Platinum, which continues to feature Toyota’s exclusive Hybrid MAX powertrain. Combining a turbocharged 2.4-liter engine with an electric motor and a direct-shift six-speed automatic transmission, the system produces an impressive 340 net combined horsepower and 400 lb.-ft. of torque.
The Platinum trim also includes Full-Time Electronic AWD, Adaptive Variable Suspension (AVS), Dynamic Rear Steering, and Active Cornering Assist to provide exceptional handling and ride comfort. Rear Comfort mode further enhances passenger comfort by optimizing suspension settings for a smoother ride.
Bold New Styling Gives the Toyota Crown a More Premium Look
The 2027 Toyota Crown receives several exterior styling enhancements that reinforce its premium appearance. A newly sculpted rear bumper gives the sedan a cleaner, more refined profile, while satin-finished Hybrid and AWD badging modernize the vehicle’s overall look.
Toyota also introduces Inked, a new black exterior paint color that joins Oxygen White, Bronze Age, Heavy Metal, Finish Line Red, and Storm Cloud. The Platinum grade now features standard red brake calipers, a black beltline window surround, and an updated bi-tone paint design with a body-colored trunk paired with a contrasting black roof.
The Nightshade edition becomes even more distinctive with new black badge overlays, matte-black 21-inch wheels, dark exterior trim, black mirror caps, and black door handles for an aggressive appearance.
Premium Interior Comfort and Technology
Inside, the 2027 Toyota Crown continues to emphasize luxury and comfort. New Saddle Tan seating is now available on both the Limited and Platinum grades and can be paired with the Bronze Age exterior for a striking premium combination.
Every Toyota Crown comes equipped with leather-trimmed seating, heated and ventilated front seats, heated rear seats, a heated steering wheel, dual-zone climate control, and a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster alongside a 12.3-inch Toyota Audio Multimedia touchscreen.
Higher trims add premium amenities such as a fixed panoramic moonroof, JBL Premium Audio system, Panoramic View Monitor, Head-Up Display, Digital Key capability, and Traffic Jam Assist functionality, making every drive more comfortable and connected.
