I picked up a 2024 crown 2 months ago. It’s amazing. I have a 2022 Camry and a 2018 rav4. Crown is my fav.
❤
I like the lift of the crown. It makes it easier to enter/exit, but still have a sedan.
That to me is what I dislike. It's too tall. I guess I'd appreciate it if I were 60 with arthritis
@@JamaicanMeCrazy
That's the target market for seniors.
Boomers are getting older.
They have the income for these,...Mon. 😂
But like, its not a sedan anymore
@@JamaicanMeCrazy… That is why we purchased one for easy ingress and egress, AWD for the winter months, and the Hybrid..
I enjoyed my '23 Crown XLE so much that I traded for a '24 Crown Limited with the Advanced Tech and 21" wheels. I love it. Insurance cost is lower with all the tech, too.
Wow that’s good to know. How much cheaper was the insurance? If you don’t mind, how much are you paying for insurance? I’m thinking of buying a Limited trim this year.
@@enriqueb4412 I saved $163/yr when I traded a '23 Crown XLE for a '24 Limited with Advanced Tech. I love the Limited.
That’s some great info on the insurance! I definitely am looking for a new vehicle and I will stick to Toyota and this is my number one choice, a 25’ Crown Limited with the advanced technology. I have to say this “sedan” is in a whole other category.
@@priscillacarrillo4259👍👍👍exactly
How is the ins lower
My father had a Toyota Crown back in 1979. So, yeah, you can say I'm a Crown guy. Always love Toyota Crown.
But this version of Crown is just STUNNING!
I'm super happy with my 2024 Toyota Crown Limoted.. it runs smoothly and feels so luxurious :)
It looks Toyota took it very serious about their new designs. Stunning!
First time watcher. This is exactly the kind of auto review I wish was more common. You hit on all the important features other than safety features that I want to know about. Kudos.
Ive driven the crown before. Hands down one of the best cars in the world
Interesting. Have you driven a Camry for comparison?
@coniccinoc not this new camry, no. I've driven the outgoing model. Does not come close to the crown.
Both very nice looking. I sat in the Crown and felt like I was in a Lexus.
I test drove the crown and it was 100% more luxurious than my 2015 Lexus. Almost made me upset about the improvement in NVH.
Objectively false, the interior has way more plastic than the lexus
If you are taller and bigger and have similarly tall and big passengers you will want the crown. The camry is a bit cramped with a lower roof. And obviously the crown will ride more comfortable. The camry is more for the general public with a younger targeted age group. The crown is definitely a step up and nicer for more mature drivers.
The Crown isn’t much better for head room since it has the sloped roof. I think the Camry and the Crown have about the same headroom
@@Drg24800 the crown sits taller. I would sit in both and report on it but I don't want to go to a stealership at the moment for anything
The Crown actually has the lower roof. Look at the glass. There is more of it in the Camry. It's rather that the seat is higher in the Crown.
I like the higher ground clearance of the Crown.
Yee like older American cars from the 70s. Sedans used to be built to not break on every curb.😂
@nickzobel9922 and higher ground clearance means easier access to the car, more visibility on the road as well ss seeing the road, and you don't feel like you're falling into the vehicle or climbing out like you would with a lower to the ground vehicle.
It is .1 inch higher.
The actual side-wall of the vehicle is higher.
@djplonghead5403 it's 5.4 vs 6.7 ground clearance that is more than .1 inch of a difference.
At 80 that would be much appreciated . @awdfan2259
Crown is made in Japan, so there's that.
Underrated fact.
Rather had it built in Kentucky. Better quality there.
@@gigglybeast said no one ever 😆
Said everyone who’s had a Camry built there. Exactly which Japanese built Toyotas are more reliable than the U.S. built models? Certainly not the Crown.
😂well we know Camry history rep and reliable vs🤡 in the us
KEEP IN MIND, that the camry does not come standard with:
-AWD
-Ventalated Seats
Technology package
Not to mention, you have to get the top tier trim to compare the two equally, which puts them both around $40-41k
I have a Crown Limited. I think of it as an overachieving Toyota almost to Lexus levels of muted NVH and quality materials. Cross shopped Lexus ES Hybrid and this feels just as premium in some ways and better value when equipped similarly.
I had already leased a Crown but I would definitely have considered the Camry. Gratified to hear you found the Crown quieter as this was why I chose it.
We love our Crown limited it has easy ingress and egress, AWD for the winter months, the hybrid gives excellent MPG vs the Taurus sedan it replaced..👍👍
I like the Crown.
Both Cars look great, but I think the Crown is Stunning. I also like that it sits higher than a regular sedan. I'm willing to pay more for a car that gets less gas mileage as I'm looking for more fancy, comfort, and quietness. Just don't want to pay Lexus prices to get it, so the Crown fits the bill.
❤
Good video missed some details. Like the Crown, a ton of dash adjustability. When choosing different drive modes, the suspension and drive by wire acceleration will vary. As well as the air-conditioning speed output. I was going to but the new Camry but here in my state with dealer mark-ups ( adjusted market valve ) the price was about $2500 more for the Crown. I am very happy I got it. 2024
Did not understand. What did you buy finally? Which is best?
@@prabhakarkotipalli-qe8ep 2024 crown
As an “old guy” I like the taller stance of the Crown. I’d take the Crown hands down. But $6k is not what most people will pay more because the person buying that car will more than likely not buy a base trim
If you a quieter and more premium Camry you could step up to XLE or XSE trim. Acoustic laminated glass, leather seats, etc.
I didn’t think Toyota uses real leather anymore in their vehicles , it’s some type of synthetic leather called Softex.
@@pnwdweler4100cow hide real stuff in XLE Camry
@@pnwdweler4100 Neither does Tesla or many other vehicles these days. And the brands that do its often an upcharge and sometimes is less pleasant (harder, wears worse) than synthetic leather
@@pnwdweler4100on top trim they does
@pnwdweler4100 Toyota got rid of that softex material in their new 2025 crown Signia (wagon). Most likely the other crown in this video will follow.
For $6,000 I'd buy the Crown. After 6 years you'll be happy to have spent the extra $1,000 per year.
You think so?
They're not selling that well, so try to low-ball a dealer who has a lot of Crown inventory.
Personally, I'm waiting for the Crown Signia wagon/crossover.
@@nostradamus7648 Me too, actually. Nice looking, more room for things.
If you need to borrow 6000 more and pay 9% interest per year… that’s ~9000 total.
Why?
Those cloth seats look really nice
The rear of the crown reminds me of the rear of the lucid air
I ❤the Crown 👑
Isn't the crown higher off the ground? I would pay for that
The Crown is way more beautiful in person vs online. The new Camry looks great online, but I have yet to see one in person.
Update: Finally saw the new Camry XSE up close, in person. Very underwhelming. Has zero presence and doesn't look nearly as good in person as it does online.
Agree, seems small and low to the ground more than other midsize sedan
The Avalon wasn’t selling, so every big car in general so they wanted to try something a lil different. Kinda interesting the Camry has slightly wider tires but its an SE so I guess thats why
The Camrys are so marked up around me that the XLE Camry are almost the same price as the XLE Crown (even though the XLE trim on the Crown is the basic trim)
I ended up with a Camry. I test drove the Crown and I didn't fit in it. Even with the seat all the way down, my head touched the headliner. 6' 2" so not a giant or anything. The model without the moonroof would probably be OK. It's a shame because I liked the Crown better. Especially the interior.
I seen one on the freeway today i had to do a double take. Safely of course.
The Crown comes with the turbo 4cyl 340 hp 400ft lbs of torque and dynamic rear wheel steering and HUD 0 to 60 5 sec
The Crown sedan will be joined (and hopefully replaced) by the Crown Signia which WILL replace the Venza Hybrid. The Signia is more wagon-like and will have more of a purpose than the sedan. Thanks for another splendid review.
Toyota had no need to replace the Avalon with this as they are the only one still competing in this dead segment and it’s not selling worse or better than the Avalon did
I like the signia a lot, I hope they make a platinum trim for that extra horsepower
The crown will be my daily driver and everyday and best quality
If you'd like leather upholstery in the Crown you have to get the Limited trim which starts around $45950
The Camry XLE starts around 10 thousand dollars less and leather is included.
It’s not real leather, it’s Softex and it’s a synthetic leather and not nearly as nice as the real deal.
The softex( syncetic learher)is in the Camry SE , the Camry XLE comes with real leather.
For 2025 the Crown XLE comes with standard leather seats. The cloth in the 2024 was hideous, must have gotten many complaints.
I love both cars
I would prefer the Crown Platinum. Lower gas mileage, but more horse power.
$6k more for the Crown, but keep in mind that it has all wheel drive as standard.
The cloth seats in the back of the crown are a negative for me - I toss my groceries there and sometimes groceries have liquid that escapes the bag. The trunk is too hot for the groceries. Also the JBL should be the standard low end speaker system and then JL or Focal if you want to upgrade to an audio system that people that would upgrade would appreciate.
This is an appropriate comparison. Im not sure moving up to the Crown is worth the large price difference.
The Car jesus look is almost complete ben
I'm thinking that one factor is going to be which is actually available when one goes shopping.
In this day and age, cars should be almost silent with road noise
Cloth seats is the deal breaker. If it had things like leather seats standard then a base trim Crown is somewhat price competitive with high end trim Camry, but if I have to add basic luxury features like those on for extra cost then no thanks. Went with a Camry.
The crown for the win.
Did he compare seat comfort? That’s very important to me
Yea he said the crown was more confortable
I would like a comparison of Camry se vs xle that has acoustic glass and smaller wheels I think for a quieter ride
I'm looking for a twenty twenty four certified pre own crown!
Nice comparison review. The higher trims of XLE/XSE in the Camry have better sound insulation. From what I have been hearing, the Crown is not selling that well so there should be some good discounts on it right now.
I doubt anything is selling well in this current economy.
Toyota shouldn’t have discontinued the Avalon
low sales
@@tinhinnh the crown is going to get even lower sales! I haven’t even seen 5 since they’ve been out.
ive seen a couple, its relatively new, big $$ cars in general dont sell a ton
I have a 2006 Avalon. Love it. I thought about the Crown, but doesn’t have that roomy rear seat area. Keeping my Avalon forever! 👍
@@charlieellison5276 if I were you I’d get a 2019-2022 Avalon! Tho the 2013-2018 had 2-3 more features than the 19-22
Saw both on the showroom floor. The crown is bigger but the Camry looked a lot better in person. Not really a fan of the crown but that’s just my opinion
Camry full option or a crown low option?
The Crown reminds me of the Honda Crosstour
I will prefer to buy the 2025 Camry. If I am going to spend the that much money to buy crown, I will just add some money to buy Lexus NX. The quality of the interior material for the NX will be way better the Crown.
With that logic, add a bit more money and get an RX. Or add a bit more and get a GX.
I have two problems with the Lexus. 1. Wish they would have moved away from that big, ugly, honking, bug grill on the front end. MO, but I find it butt ugly, takes up the whole front. I also don't like the way the window runs on the back of the RX. Just doesn't appeal to me.
If they can come out with a new Camry TRD with this front end, and turbo charged this engine which gets 50+ MPG, so you'd probably have maybe 35 - 40+ MPG still and hit a horsepower of 300 or so, I'll buy it in a heart beat.
Hi Ben, please i want to know, which one has the most efficient A/C system? Or both have the same efficiency. Thanks.
Toyota A/C systems are fantastically good.
4Runner
Is the crown front wheel drive or all wheel drive
All wheel
Thanks
Best Car I've ever driven. Great for anyone that's does not want to step up into something or stoop down into it. I have the platinum, the Horspower is refreshing along with the lexus like ride. Floats, 21 inch wheels. Tech is great and the self driving on the highway makes a long drive no problem. A hybrid that gives great mileage with 340 horsepower. Hands down it's a great sedan. Most people ask what kind of Suv is that? 😂.. Just a well thought out car with pretty much all you want from both sides.
AWD nice for winter months
After 5th gen 4Runner Crown might be the best Toyita product. I’d still take the 4runner.
Crown is good for people that lives where theres a lot of bad roads
Only for the XLE grade because the higher trims can get huge wheels that might cause a blowout if you hit a big enough pothole
@@Drg24800 Or wreck a tire sensor! Like my Venza...hate those big wheels.
Yes the AWD is nice in the winter
Thanks for your great review.
Can we have a review of the CROWN against the VENZA ??
Both tend towards Lexus, and I bet it will be quite a tight comparison and very interesting, too.
Why bother when their plan is to eliminate the Venza. The Crown Signia looks more like the 1st Gen. Venza than the 2020 and newer models. More cargo room too, which is where they messed up on the redesign of the 2020 Venza. I have a 2013 Limited which I intend to keep forever. If I add another car, i'll be looking at the Crown Signia or Crown Sedan. Since I already have the room of the big Venza, i'm leaning toward the sedan. JMO
Crown is a lot more $$$$$$. We are going to purchase the Camry LE 2025 next week for $30k. The Crown low end model is 15k higher.
Did you but the car? How do you like it? I am putting deposit on the XLE today
New Camry also uses 5th gen hybrid. Crown uses 4th gen.
Do both cars have the same driving range or 1 has more?
Thanks for sharing!
wow they both look so similar and also similar size
Where I live (Canada) there is a $17,000 price difference between these 2 specific models you're testing. I doubt highly that I'd find many differences that woud justify paying $17k more for a Crown, and I also think the Camry is better looking :)
Once you step into and drive each vehicle, the difference in quality will be obvious. Differences that are not as evident on a video even though Ben describes the differences. The Crown feels almost Lexus-like, and it is made in Japan (a really really good thing). Both have proven drivetrains that will last hundreds of thousands of miles with good care. The Camry is the king of value even with price increases (and the lack of a less expensive non-hybrid option). But the Crown is a lifted Avalon, not a lifted Camry. I suspect most Americans would rather step up and pay a little extra for a Lexus ES. I'm guessing Crown sales will be lackluster which might be a great opportunity for deals at the end of 2025. The choice is easy if you're comparing a base Crown over the top trim Camry. If you're amortizing thousands of hours in a car cabin, you might as well be comfortable.
Choose the one made in Japan!!!
I know a John Hardy from Draper.
GET THIS MAN A barber!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Very helpful
How about a v6 turbo hybrid 🧐🏎️
Pity nobody wanted the Avalon anymore. They’ve finally gone away from the nutty two-tone at launch.
Crown feels much smaller inside versus an Avalon or ES.
Crown is higher grade Camry therefore CROWN 👑
Can u compare Camry 2024 & Sonata 2024?
I don't think there's any comparison between a Toyota and Hyundai. JMO but, when I researched used in 2020 before buying my 2013 Venza, Hyundai was having a lot of issues with their cars in comparison. So was Kia. In fact, 2009 I bought a 05 Suzuki Grand Vitara, dealer also had a Santa Fe and Sorento. After a test drive the Suzuki won hands down over the other two. It was way more solid. I put 74K miles on it, at 104K my most major repair was a radiator replacement. I'm kicking myself for not keeping that car. I see it around town every now and then. Always do your research on reliability, never just fall in love with the looks. Same as looking for a spouse...lol.
Camry v/s Crown is no Comparison,more like Crown v/s Lexus...
Didn’t know John Wick did car review side quests
How is the step in height difference?
If u gonna 56k on a crown get es 350 f sport or luxury because they cost the same amount and plus the sunroof doesn’t open on the crown
What is the point of the Crown? Why is it so expensive?
It's a luxury sedan with more power.
For those who want a Lexus, but don’t want to pay the luxury maintenance, insurance, and want to appear more conservative.
After experiencing what it’s like to have a Japanese built Toyota ,crown for the win
I have never seen a Crown on the road. Is it not selling well?
it still sell but many people dont know about that car or not pay attention it.
I've seen one driving in the KC metro.
I've seen it in person, looks kind of like a short suv with huge tires.
You could see the bumps in the Camry
No ventilated seats?
The limited has them.
Crowns like double the price idk why youre comparing
Toyota needs to hire the designers from kia/Hyundai
I prefer look and internals of the crown, I just think it's overpriced above the XLE trim. The camry is a nice improvement on the interior styling. I'd like to see your review on the crown signia which I think should be appropriately priced for a near luxury SUV.
I just purchased the brand new Camry XLE so naturally I disagree with your opinion.
Bulbous is not always better!
A lifted, nice Camry. So a lifted Avalon? 😂
🎉Nice vidéo
The Crown overlaps with Lexus too much
I’ve seen a few Crowns around town, very good looking. Wow $6k more? PS, there’s a trunk, so definitely a sedan! lol
Crown is nice but I don't think its really worth it unless you get the Max hybrid with it. Then you get a 30mpg hybrid but can still do 0-60 in under 5.5 seconds. Otherwise save the cash and get a ES hybrid or a Camry or even the new accord.
Makes me wonder how it handles on the open hgwy. When I punch it on my 2013 Venza Lim., 0-60 in 6.5 with v-6, the car literally seems to lift up. Front tires break loose easily from a dead stop. The front end is too light, though it does handle S turns amazingly well and fast. I know i'm not supposed to drive it like a sports car but, it seems to give you that option, to a degree...😁
To be blunt, there really isn't any appreciable difference between any Toyota products, be it a Corolla, Camry, Crown or the Lexus labelled versions. Sound insulation and plastic choices are pretty much the only differentiations. Well, some suspension, but in reality? The price differentials really aren't enough to justify the prices. The Crown/Camry pairing is going to fail just like the RAV4/latest Venza pairing. Not enough difference to justify the price.
And sorry, but I've always found Toyota's performance editions being called turd rather funny.
They will discontinue the crown . It not selling. Too expensive
Maybe because half of the U.S. is floundering in massive debt. Is anything selling well right now?
Is this here in Utah where I am
I want tinted windows
Crown sedan is now discontinued. Last year 2025
Cloth seats in a $42,000 car is crazy.
😂😂😂
Camry discontinued in England 😢
You were driving. A camry xe . If was the xse it would have accused glasss and a lot quieter ride
it clearly says SE
