2025 Toyota Crown Platinum Hybrid Max Test Drive 🚗

2025 Toyota Crown Platinum Hybrid Max POV test drive, highway drive, acceleration, sound, review.

The past 10 years have been very interesting for Toyota. The brand went from making plain, vanilla vehicles, to releasing interesting cars, at least from the design perspective. The Crown is no different - when you first look at it from a distance, you see an an attractive, yet another sedan, but as you come closer, the extra cladding and higher ground clearance makes it look like a lifted crossover sedan, reminding Subaru Outback Sedan or a Volvo S60 Cross Country. Remember them? Right… that’s how successful they were.

We can look at the Crown as a replacement for the Avalon. It is built on TNGA-K, the same platform that the Camry, Lexus ES, or the RX are built on, among others, and comes with an e-AWD system. We can choose between a 236 hp variant with a 2.5-liter 4-cylinder and an eCVT or a 340-hp Hybrid max which features a 2.4-liter turbo and a 6-speed conventional automatic.

Other cars to consider are Toyota Camry, Lexus ES, Honda Accord, or a Toyota Venza.
