Saw it in Japan in April, it's a great looking sedan. Love your car reviews, Sarah - nobody else is gonna lift it up, go over in depth and measure the sway-bar like you! You have all the know-how of someone who rebuilds cars and make it fun, keep up the great content, thanks!
GREAT LOOKING SEDAN! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
"I'm dressed like Mario, aren't I?" LOL... Love the randomness Sarah. I can never anticipate anything ya ever say, but always appreciate the laughs.
Love the outfit
Sarah, we need a compilation video of all your braking tests, now that would be fun to watch ;)
同意します❣️びっくりした時の顔からの笑顔が最高ですね。
Indeed
Fun fact: "Camry" means crown so we've actually had a Toyota Crown in North America all along.
Lol, no way that’s wild!
@@SarahnTuned Kanmuri is Japanese for crown
Clever sneaking it in the back way 😎
Toyota has more crown derivatives than Olds had cutlasses back in the day
The previous generation Crown in Japan had multiple variations:
1. Base model (V6)
2. Crown Athlete (V6)
3. Crown Hybrid (V6)
4. Crown Majesta (V8)
And the Crown Majesta has four sub-variants!
@SarahnTuned Actually Corolla is Latin for little crown. Avalon is the final resting place for King Arthur. Kiichiro Toyoda had a thing for crowns.
"For the first time in half a Century" at 0:20 was a solid big Toyota pun straight outta the gate.
I really don't think it was intended though 😊
Its really been just about exactly 50 yrs since the Crown was available in the US!
Unintentional puns still count! They're better, in a way.
I am old enough to remember the "glory" days of the Crown in Australia & the reasons why they were well received. In spite of all the tech on this version I suspect there are some older Toyota engineers who must love how close this is to the original models & how the market segment has not changed!
I have the platinum one with 400 lb*ft of tq / 340 hp. I love it. Unfortunately someone failed to yield and I had a green and my car is now likely totaled, after only having it for three weeks! 😭 I miss it, best car I ever owned.
Sad!
Was that the white one? And now waiting for a new Crown?
Great review, Sarah. It's really cool to see the Crown name come back to the US. I also appreciate your love of animals, in pointing out the horned toad you found out in the desert. As always, keep up the great work.
Love your videos, Sarah, especially when you bring out the foam finger.
Hello eco girl, you are always worth 100%! Thank you for testing a sedan... even a quasi lifted sedan! Too bad we don't get the full range of Crown models like in the domestic Japanese market. Really 12th artemis for the score !
must have been really hard. Great review like always.
Im happy brands are bringing their domestic products into the mainland….can’t wait for more
I STILL PREFER OLDER "mainland" VEHICLES to ASIAN "toys"!
Dad had a crown like the old one shown. His was a 1970, I think.
I remember as a youngster thinking that it was pretty upper-end compared to most Japanese cars.
14:1 compression and 0W-8 oil, imagine going back in time and dazzling a 1953 auto trades class with the technical highlights of this Toyota. It would be mind bending.
My '19 mazda 3 has a floor vin like that too. Thanks Sarah and algo's
😍I always enjoy your akward and silliness in your videos😍 youre doing a great job keeping people engaged :)
Suggestion: When you give it the beans (from a dead stop) mention when the vehicle reaches 60mph so us viewers (ie peeps) can time it. Or perhaps you could put this 0-60 time in the video.. Just a thought, keep up the amazing work Sarah!
Just because a vehicle "has beans" doesn't mean it HAS MUCH ELSE!
03:38 I'm glad you went back to the yellow pointy-finger, Sarah. It's so much easier to see against dark backgrounds than the red one. 👆☺
0W-8 motor oil? Isn't that just water with a little vegetable oil mixed in?
I don't know what is it about this car but I love it
Another nice piece of engineering from Toyota. A hud system would be nice. I feel bad for your yellow finger pointy thingy...I hope it feels better. My company uses thinner oil on the Ford engines......oil change around
2000k...........we get 500,000k out of the engines that way. Sarah....the colour red so suits you.
I'm still adjusting to the new normal as far as new car pricing. I'll get over it at some point. Nice Review!
I sure mis my father's 91 Cressida. ...that was a nice car, father worked for the forklift division of Toyota, that was his company car.
Great and honest review. Question - do the auto manufacturers ever complain when the scores you give are not as high as they think they sound be?
No, nor would I care if they did. I feel 99% of journalists over inflate their numbers when they give scores and it ruins the appeal of a truly high number.
Finally a Toyota sedan that doesn't look like a boring box! Thanks for the great review as always Sarah 😍
ps: it'd be a great addition if you'd test acceleration and breaking with a tool
That's not nice calling Angel Foodcake a tool. 😂
Yes, who are you suggesting for the tool ? 😂 Or are you volunteering ?
Which album? I’m a bit partial to Ænima myself.
@@ramblerdave1339 I'd gladly volunteer if I was closer.
Please no measuring like that. If I want specs I'll read the brochure.
Sara, You are Amazing ! Car evaluations, restorations, and custom builds. I love it all. Please do a Jeep !
I'd get obsessed with the "eco" gauge and hope that one can turn it off or to another setting. Great review Mario!
That headlight shot when the car was going up the lift 👍
I noticed that, too. Sarah's quite the videographer!
I noticed that too. It's little things like that (and her humor) that make these enjoyable to watch.
^ Came here to say this
I got the 2024 Max and love it!
Sarah's "Not bad." is a secret message which translates to slow AF acceleration in this case. Sarah, secret message received. Tango Yankee. Wrench onward.
The "B" mode on the gearlever should give you more regenerative braking.
Might get you that coveted 100% score.
Sarah, I’m always impressed when you tell us all the tech data.
I’m not sure if you’re reading it or not (and that doesn’t matter) it’s just so fluid and precise.
❤ Mrs Mario Outfit btw.
I love your tattoo! I know, not car related, but it's really pretty and very cool. im getting my second, and first big tattoo, in a few days :)
I'm happy Sarah is reviewing cars instead of Mini-Vans.
Nice review Sarah. I really like how Toyota does things.
Mario, looks like you need to adjust your lift. Eric O. has a video on it.
Toyota has outdone themselves with the sleek and sophisticated design.❤
Kinda tought you were going for the Mario look to be honest. 😂 Great video as always.
Your car reviews are unique and informative as well as entertaining and cheery. A car person will have a better day after watching one of your reviews.
Not bad,horny Toad hmm why don't you foster some Kookaburras to complement them Penguins,they love eaten the Toads.
This model needs a TRD version... and a lift kit to make it Baja ready 🤪
Cool ! I love this idea 💡👍
Then it would become the Crown Athlete, which the name of the Crown's sport variant in Japan.
never knew of this model , looks cool
Hi Bert! Excellent Sesame Street reference 😊
Hey Sarah, definitely an interesting car and great review as always I never knew the crown was available in the US. I knew they had a top-of-the-line car back in the 80s called the Cressida. Don’t know if that was another name for the crown or it’s just another model. hoping you’ll get the manual supra soon I’m sure you are too. Hopefully one will come your way. Have a great one.🐧🐧🐧👍
The Cressida was (slightly) smaller than the Crown, but it did replace the Crown in the US.
At the time, the Crown was actually a body-on-frame car, the Cressida was a unibody
I would love to see a review of 2023 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter AWD.
I always like how mother nature sends some friends to appear in your videos.
Fun review Sarah, loved it, clear though the that Toyota build this down to a price which is a shame
better late than never? Thank you, Sarah!
hey i like your outfit it is cute just like you ,plus your energy is very spunky. the odd things you randomly say are cute and funny. by the way where are the pinguins those guys are cute and quirky.
keep up the awesome videos.
Love that outfit!
Ha Ha, at 1st I read big BOOTY sedan lol!!
I loved the original crown it looks so gangster great vid Sarah
Nice "Vogue" moves on the wheel, Sarah!
Nice to see another traditional sedan.
Also? 0W-8 weight?
@ᴍᴇꜱꜱᴀɢᴇ ᴍᴇ ᴏɴ ᴛᴇʟᴇɢʀᴀᴍ👉@THE_SARAH_N_TUNED You have been reported. Congratulations!
Usually used in stop start technology, also the W stands for Winter, not weight.
NASCAR has been using 0W 8 oil in their cars for like a decade.
I don't get it they shaped it like a hatchback, lifted it like an SUV but then gave it a sedan trunk, so it's large cargo capacity is as unusable as possible. I'm a bit confused by that part, when premium brands have been doing liftbacks that look like sedans for decades now.
@ᴍᴇꜱꜱᴀɢᴇ ᴍᴇ ᴏɴ ᴛᴇʟᴇɢʀᴀᴍ👉@THE_SARAH_N_TUNED You have been reported. Congratulations!
An attempt to capture the crossover market without making it a full on Sedan. The sedan market is dying.
I love that you say "I give up" and then we see 12th attempt 😂😂😂😂
"We thought you was a hornytoad!" - Oh Brother Where Art Thou
Your car reviews are always great Sarah
Lol, favorite movie of all time 👍
Just see the Hatchback style, watchout Ferrari design 😂
holy .14 : 1 you can run diesel with that
IF YOU CAN'T GET A 100, IT CAN'T BE DONE! And, that grill?!?!
27th view properly early for once. Not bad 23:32 here nice. Love an all wheel drive even if it’s electric.
Needing to scratch my hot hatch itch! Car review is keeping it in check for now.
@ᴍᴇꜱꜱᴀɢᴇ ᴍᴇ ᴏɴ ᴛᴇʟᴇɢʀᴀᴍ👉@THE_SARAH_N_TUNED The real Sarah has little time for your nonsense!
Your my type of Mario Sarah 😬
What happened to the green bronco
😎🍺👍🇦🇺
Yes you look like Super Mario and thanks for pointing out that Horned (not Horney !!!) Toad !!!!!
I think Toyota has made the ultimate "daily driver"
40 MPG, Room for 5 and their stuff, $40-50k, which is the average price of a new car, quietly luxurious and easy to use, and built by Toyota. It even gives you an elevated seating position.
I think the 1984 Fiero with the Iron Duke also got 40 miles per gallon.
Ill keep my Ecoboost 6 speed Mustang as a cool daily driver, but this is a really cool super sized prius for sure.
I will never understand why tbe Prius gets so much hate, its the perfect car for non car people:) and now you can get one in a full size package.....😊
New toyotas and "luxury" is opposite! Suspension is sheet - especially compare to germans or volvo. Interior boring and cheap- no different color styles combinates, no natural materials- cheap "eco". Noise isolation is average, no acoustic glass etc. Worse than mazda, and much worse than bmw, volvo, audi, mersedes.
At the cost of less headroom than the Camry.
Quiet and luxurious also describes the v6 Camry XLE and XSE
@@andrewcherry3330 Toyotas with the 3.5l v6 are very quiet though
So glad you did this review. Where Doug called it a "weird decision" and an "SUV-ish sedan", you got into the mechanicals of it, as you do.
Love the outfit. Mario's got nothing on you!
Thanks for another fun review.
This cute Mario is 🔥🔥🔥
5:19 nice
Sarah, an eCVT is NOT a CVT! It's a planetary gear set with two electric motors. No belt, pulleys, or hydraulics. Only a few moving parts, and permanently engaged power carriers similar to a differential. Pretty much indestructible, and very torquey. In total, there are THREE electric motors. Total system HP doesn't add up because there are losses, and the engine can't physically put full effort into the wheels because of how eCVT works.
Better buy the Turbo Crown with the six speed Auto.!
Palo Verde bloom with a horn toad....spectacular. oh...the cars not bad....
The Crown is no longer forbidden fruit
Can you do a video on carpeted liners?
Great review
You use that quite aggressively when you point at something. 😂
Leave it to Toyota to give Sarah an eco driving game. If it was Dodge it would be a 1/4 mile game with a Christmas tree in the dash to test your reaction time.
And Mustang would have a pedestrian count. 🤣
I honestly wish this was a hatchback, it'd be perfect then
Wait if the rear wheels are “not connected” via a driveshaft, how does “it” know what torque is needed where?
Computers
I don't know over in Japan the Crown line was very coveted. .....I guess sales will be the final say if this ver of the Crown stays...
I need to get my eyes checked. I read the title as Big Baby Yoda Sedan 😅
96. Great score Sarah !!!! The best part was when the screen said 12 th attempt :0. That’s hilarious. :)
Sadly, the models sold in Japan were better looking...
I love mine ❤❤❤
So, it's basically a super-sized, AWD, somewhat contemporary looking prius.
Cool!
I will miss my Avalon’s but this is a replacement of our time.
You look So beautiful today Sarah ❤❤❤❤❤
Very nice videos you make with those perfect nails
The car is training you, 😂!
Another excellent review and whatever color lipstick Sarah is wearing is 🔥
12:08 Nothing is wrong woth your outfit, it looks nice. Great car review as always Sarah.
Back in the late seventies my friend got a crown, think it was a sixtynine bout the size of a four door Nova or falcon but with overhead Cam six dual carbs,split exhaust manifold for True dual exhaust, Best of All a four on the floor. We had a Lot of fun with that...looked a lot like the at the beginning of the video 👍
0-8 oil wtf ya think the EPA had something to do with that bull S....
The way you penetrate the car with your gum-finger in combination with your doctor’s outfit seems sometimes a little bit awkward 😅😂😂 But i like the style of your reviews, giving us every little details 🙌👍⭐️⭐️⭐️💙
great review.. but its a let down comparing it to older crown models.. they were really something special
You pronounce steel and sport like you are still in Deutschland. Shteel and Shport❤
That was the worst sounding car I think you have ever reviewed.
I am glad that this right foot fat shaming car didn't intimidate you!
Nice lipstick!!
Cool car 🚗 😎
We don't get it here in the UK 😅😅
You are SO COOL, Sarah! I STILL WISH for you to do a video (series?) about THE REAL CARS! American (TOTALLY AWESOME) from 50s-70s! I have owned (AND EXPERIENCED) MANY OF THESE GREAT "RIDES"! They were FAR SUPERIOR to "cookie cutter" CRAP TODAY!
Yea… I’m a bit scared of this Crown, the previous generation was gorgeous (disclaimer: I hate Totoyas and sedan even more) and classy. In japan it’s a rich -old-money, -old-people car who think Lexus are for newly rich showoffs. And they don’t seem to like this car too much… it’s marketed as an SUV like the Mercedes GL Coupe, BMW X6 or Renault Arkana
Do you scare a lot of guys with your pipe/ rod measurer?😊
