I just bought this car, the XLE in supersonic red, and I absolutely love it! Going from a RAV4 to basically a lifted car! The gas mileage is really impressive! It does average 41ish for my commute to work, which is about 33 miles and mostly highway, I’d say 75/25. My rav got 26. The ride is really nice and smooth, and I think it’s quiet. But that’s my opinion. All in all, this is the best impulse buy I’ve ever made! Test drive one for yourself, this car sells itself! ✌🏻
why did your Rav 4 Hybrid only get 26.mpg . ??? ( I mean you would have to a very stupid lazy sloth ridden thinking little punk to Compare a High 20's to low 30 ' s Grand .. gas engine car to a 50 thousand dollar Plus$$$$$ Hybrid .. please tell you did not do that.. ) so again why did your Rav 4 Hybrid only get 26 MPG???
@@toli0968 Well it handles great,no sports car though,I don’t really feel a difference when I put it in sport mode…This is way quieter than a Camry I’d say…The Drive is extremely comfortable,leased mine for 2yrs to see if I could live with it,so far so good.
I got the XLE in Oxygen White exactly a month ago, and totally loving the ride,the comfort, the quiet cabin interior and the mileage clocked. Just a great family hybrid sedan for long trips with the generous fuel economy I am getting (about 5.7 litres per 100 Kms). Passengers in the rear keep praising the comfortable seats and spacious leg room. t. From my POV, the elevated front view is just perfect. Solid feelon the road, and I just loved the rotation radius. In my opinion, not worth dishing out extra $$$ for the Limited Trim for the extra perks.
I bought a crown limited about two weeks ago. I was looking for comfort quiet in good fuel economy. The crown delivered it. I fell in love with the car as soon as I drove it. I love the hybrid technology.
I think it is great looking. I am an Avalon owner, and I love it, but if I were in the market for a new car, I would be all over this. You wonder who this is for? Older people like me that don't need or want an SUV. Easy step in height and decent gas mileage and good looks, OH Yes. Looks like a winner.
I LOVE this car and will be getting one this summer. I don’t understand all the confusion by reviewers. Maybe it’s just something new? Does everything need to be pigeon holed into a segment? It’s nice, good gas mileage, upscale, and innovative.
It's because a lot of people have the idea that these larger, taller vehicles somehow makes them safer. It's all a common misconception, but a lot of people I know believe that.
@@HarleyPebley Agreed. Snow till April Sometimes. My first new car is SUV. I had rode who is now my ex and the snow is higher than the seats of the car or higher than the wheels.
@@HarleyPebley I just saw this at the Minnesota, Twin Cities car show and I would actually pick this over an SUV. I currently drive a Honda Accord Hybrid Touring and this thing has everything that my Accord is missing in the sense of added ground clearance and AWD.

Snow tires with every FWD or RWD without any major issues. This may end up as my next sedan or whatever it's actually considered.
@@jfeliciano2687 Sure, if it works for you great. I've driven both AWD sedans and SUVs in the snow and they're both capable. Some, like myself, would prefer the SUV option. I was just responding to the OP's comment about why anyone would want an SUV and gave one reason. The great thing is we have so many options to choose from for whatever we prefer. Peace.
I like your review style. Down to earth and real world. I do like the looks of the Crown and I am a cloth interior guy - prefer over leather. So XLE would be great. Plus I do not want moon/sunroof. The thing that appeals to me with the Crown over Lexus/Camry/Accord etc is that at 70 years old I want a car I car slide into vs drop down into if you know what I mean. Well done.
It's stunning looking, looks very comfortable, very quite, It's solid, and gets great gas mileage. I doubt anyone is going to get anything better at this price point, and after a few years of depreciation it still will be a great car. When looking for a new car in the next few years, this one will definitely be on my list of options.
I usually get between 43 to 53 MPG everywhere I've driven so far. Virginia, Florida, and California. And also while driving cross country and between all of these states.
On the highway we are getting 45 mpg consistently with our Platinum in the eco mode doing 63 mph. It is an awesome car. We love it, plus there is nothing on the road like it.
Awesome car. Super nice, great stereo, peels out, everyone compliments it, and 44.2 MPG on first tank. Oh and the radioactive (or whatever window glass is the bomb!!!
It Japan it is, indeed, called a crossover. They specifically said they combined a sedan and SUV to make a truly unique sedan. After creating it they made a sedan version, hatchback, and a wagon.
I would like this more if they had parking sensors front and rear, I find them so helpful to get close to other cars and curbs when parking. Especially since the sightlines on this are not that good and it is a long big car. perhaps the 25 will include them on the base model is because I want the cloth and no sunroof and larger tires not low profile
I wonder which is quieter, this 2023 Toyota Crown Limited or the 2023 Honda Accord Touring? Which one offers a more plush ride? I know the Accord may handle better but I like the overall design of the Crown a bit better and it does also come with a spare tire that the Accord does not.
I was in the market for a car and these two ended up being my top 2 choices. The accord felt quieter to me. I think the way honda has configured their hybrid system is the reason why. when you are accelerating at low speeds, the electric motor kicks in first. so its like an ev up to ~25mph and then the gas engine kicks in quite smoothly. this gives great torque at the low rpms with barely any sound. but the car doesn't have too much power at cruising speeds. The accord handled really well but on rare occasions it did feel like a boat. I ended up buying the crown XLE trim because I got a 3k discount off msrp and all the honda dealerships around me were marking up the accord by atleast 1.5K. The ride quality feels similar in both. the crown (even with the cloth seats) felt like the nicer interior. The seats felt more cushy in the crown. the sound system in the accord was very disappointing. and the new accord looks like a super generic sedan. so for about the same price, we went with the clown.
I have a 24 Crown Limited and easily average 42mpg WHEN I drive it hard. When on the highway in ECO mode, I can get 47mpg or more. This baby is GORGEOUS, gets lots of attention, has awesome power and feels just as luxurious as my friend's Lexus ES.... which is not attractive. You have some things correct, but others..... ummmm
Avalon is no longer in North America. Yes the Crown is upscale in Japan and close to Lexus in terms of materials here. Ride quality is absolutely Lexus refined.

The ES has a slighty softer ride. Both are excellent at soaking up imperfections. The biggest difference is that the Crown feels a bit more powerful and has more space and is more modern and has all of Toyota's latest features. Both are very comfortable cruisers.
It's a very different format than the Venza, and frankly this drives nicer too. I don't like the Venza's infotainment and HVAC controls. They're all on screen and hard to use when you're driving.
When it comes to lifestyle, it is challenging to broach who this car is directed to. I only owned two Toyotas in 30 years and they are both trucks. Maybe one can discern I love Toyotas more than any others for that story. But why buy a platinum Crown? I already own a MODIFIED 2006 4 banger Tacoma xCab and it is lifted. But I never used it for Offroad. I just wanted it for looks and super less tech, pwr windows and cruise. Perhaps buying the Crown for me is to Crown my wife and Crown me as a king as we are getting older and the Tacoma does not fit 4 comfortably. Even my wife does not drive manual which my Tacoma has. Also, I am getting tired of driving all the time and I certainly would love my Queen to drive. I have to say, the platinum has 6 drive modes which gives the driver a wide selection of drive taste and the adaptive suspension follows it pretty good. All the tech stuff can lead you stranded until you find something you like. The infancy of this vehicle steps into developing personal profiles where one fob key sets the Crown up for the KING yo drive and one sets up for the Queen to drive. And it does an ok job at doing it at its infancy. I chose the Ctown over the Lexus and Genesis brand because of value in the word Luxury. If I had the money, I would buy the Genesis GV90 as that sedan is utterly luxurious. But like I said in the beginning. When it comes to lifestyle, it is challenging to broach who this car is directed to. I bought a platinum Crown for the reasons above, the 21 in. wheels, the outside and inside chiselness and not the mpg. It was targetted for luxury with a touch of sport when needed ... direct to me and my wife who are nearing retirement, leaving repairwork and past truck responsibilities to someone else. I am hoping this Crown will be the last car I ever buy and maybe I will hire a driver as this car gives me the feel of a GV90 as me sitting far away from a driver in the back seat. 😊 Oh and I am 6 ft 1 and my wife is 5 ft 2. See how these profiles differ?
Looking forward to the Estate and Sportback (my term) versions, hopefully to be imported into North America at some point. The "lifted" sedan has no more ground clearance than my Camry, it is the seats that are lifted within the tall cabin. I can live with that, but I want the utility of a quasi-CUV. Both the Estate and the Sportback will give me that utility, but I think the Sportback (or Liftback, if you prefer) is better looking. The profile is very similar to the Porsche sportbacks, like Panamera and Taycan, but with Toyota reliability and cost of ownership. Please, Toyota!!
Ride hight is good. One issue I have with is is not being a lift back which I really don’t understand. Why would they make a trunk to cripple it. That’s the only really making me resist buying it
It's a lifted sedan. It's not any kind of SUV. Hope that it has this higher ride height for sedans some people are looking for (I don't seek it at all but others do). I like sedans and I can see why Toyota decided to make a raised version.
Enjoyed your review, but I have a hard time believing all these hybrids and or turbo focused smaller engines will last as long as Toyota's great V6 and V8 engines. Also, my girlfriend recently purchased a 2020 Avalon XSE. Hardly "Grandpa" - more like Lexus. Sporty, heavy, and 300 hp quick!
It's hard to say how reliability will play out, but I trust the Japanese brands more (in general) for longevity. That said, the first and second gen Priuses are still going strong with 100s of thousands of miles on many of them.
@@revmatchtv As we are approaching 2025 and beyond; A Model of a Car would be redesigned/Styled in 5 years rather than 7 years like in the past; the Toyoda/ Subaru prior to 2020. All Cars/Vehicles will cost more if Longevity expected like the Older Generations of Toyoda/Honda etc. Camry used to last 20 years with not major Repair Costs; now as technology progress transformed a Car to a Modern uses of AI and Options. 15 years lasting would be best. And the Hybrids will take advantage of Electric Motor that in general more efficient than ICE. The Continuous Generations of Electric Powers like most Alternators did in the Past; now a Motor is add to smaller Engine and also smaller Engines will give Room/Curbed Weights for the Hybrids ─ We would end up having more powers on both Small Batteries, Small Motors and Small Engines. Lithium or any Materials to make Batteries would not be cheap when there are more BEV and Hybrids; And the ultimate result of all is Gasolines would be lower as "Supply and Demand" And the Benefit of Hydrogen Hybrids (with 🔋 🔋) will sure be the Future of 2040 and beyond like Toyoda and Honda envisioned... Regards,
I had a Prius limited from 2008 (with over 200k miles on it) and it was still amazing - up until a car accident last month. I got a Crown XLE 2023 and, to be honest, it feels like a more spacious, more lux feeling Prius, which I really love :)
It's overpriced. I have a 2023 Camry SE with most options, and the 2.5 liter I4. I'm getting 36 MPG in mixed driving, but 44 to 46 MPG on longer trips at the speed limits - mostly 55 to 70 MPG. That's impressive.
Prototype vehicle? Aren't these already on dealers' lots? Interesting. Oh, and if they are interested in your feedback, could you please suggest that they allow the user to set the top speed on the speedometer to be less than ONE HUNDRED SIXTY MILES PER HOUR? Come on already! How about 120 mph? If it can even go that fast? All the brands are doing this but I have no idea why.
Yup, it was a prototype. Media often gets vehicles that are pre-production especially close to launch. They are sometimes not even made on the same assembly line. Thanks for the feedback. I'll pass it along!
I think Lexus is more focused on SUVs at the moment. They only have a handful of legacy cars. My guess is that this will be Toyota-only. It feels more car than SUV, but it's still cross-over-y.
@@revmatchtv Lexus is going to transition to more BEVs. There is an new IS in the works as patented images have come out. Yes, Lexus has some SUVs, but they're also focusing on an all-out sports car and some sedans as well. But none are lifted like the Crown is as far as I know.
So this car replaces the Avalon. The full size sedan in the US is dying. This is a last attempt to save Toyota “flagship” Vehicle. Only issue I see is the price. For the limited which is the middle model you’re looking 45k. That’s approaching luxury territory. Will be interesting to see how this car does in 3 yrs and if it holds its value
Toyota is getting too expensive for a non luxury brand. Charing Lexus price for a Toyota with bland interior material. The 2023 Toyota Crown XLE should have come with the synthetic leather for a vehicle over $40k USD.
Too high tech and complicated for the Senior aged owners who will be forced to continue buy the more simple and idiotproof Camry LE's or Corolla LE's. Too high priced for younger owners. Toyota is famous for destroying car markets they originally created; e.g. the Lexus LS and Avalons used to be top sellers until Toyota ruined them.
You kept on doing the same mistake over and over by referring to the car to tell you what the MPG was. NEVER NEVER NEVER trust the propaganda from ANY vehicle as to what it is getting for MPG! You have to do the math yourself. 1st, Go to the gas station and fill it up and write down the miles on the odometer. 2nd, drive the car for at least 200 miles and go back to the gas station. 3rd, fill it up and write down the gallons used and the miles riven. 4th , divide the miles by the gallons used and you will get the TRUE MPG. So if you drove 327 miles and used 8.175 gallons you ended up with 40 MPG. Again, never trust the propaganda from the manufacturer!
I can't always justify spending $50 in gas to do a video that may or may not perform well. FWIW I did spend a fair bit of gas money (and hotel cost) on my Prius MPG video. This is not my personal car, but a manufacturer prototype. I try to be transparent about how I performed the test. In my experience, most cars indicate anywhere from 2-10% off from calculated MPG. th-cam.com/video/aUO1--qHLtk/w-d-xo.html
Toyota does not put the MPG numbers on the sticker, a lab does! The lab does all sorts of crazy things like putting the car on a dynometer to check the exhaust measurements and horsepower at different RPMs, drag coefficient, weight and plug it into a formula and the MPG is given. It's only a good guess and many cars return higher actual MPG numbers but those real world MPG are not allowed on the sticker.
@@brianshilling70some return higher and some return lower. Hybrids get worse MPG in winter compared to a gas car. If you go up a hill and not back down hybrids will do bad. The up hill uses a lot more gas significantly lowering mpg. When doing back down you get a lot of that back. Regular gas also gets worse uphill but it just coasts downhill.
Haha I never saw it that way. It's an odd looking vehicle for sure. Has more sedan than SUV vibes though. Drives like a sedan too. It's still odd, but it turned a lot of heads and got a lot of questions in my brief drive.
Got one and not happy Slow!!! Brakes so so.. handles poorly! Not a sport car, not really luxury, not a SUV. Not much of anything!!! Just for looks. Open the door and you do not see the back of the seat? Hard to get in. And so on.

Hard plastics are knee level and below, so it still feels fairly premium, but not quite luxury.
The hard plastics don’t look or feel better than say a Camry

Looking forward to the Estate and Sportback (my term) versions, hopefully to be imported into North America at some point. The "lifted" sedan has no more ground clearance than my Camry, it is the seats that are lifted within the tall cabin. I can live with that, but I want the utility of a quasi-CUV. Both the Estate and the Sportback will give me that utility, but I think the Sportback (or Liftback, if you prefer) is better looking. The profile is very similar to the Porsche sportbacks, like Panamera and Taycan, but with Toyota reliability and cost of ownership. Please, Toyota!!
False, Crown rides 4 inches higher than the Camry
Ride hight is good. One issue I have with is is not being a lift back which I really don’t understand. Why would they make a trunk to cripple it. That’s the only really making me resist buying it
It's a lifted sedan. It's not any kind of SUV. Hope that it has this higher ride height for sedans some people are looking for (I don't seek it at all but others do). I like sedans and I can see why Toyota decided to make a raised version.
Toyota has plenty of CUVs so it’s nice to see a sedan-ish vehicle introduced
We love it, way easier to get in and out of verses our Maximas.
Toyota Crown is a version that base on Lexus, but the price is cheaper than Lexus.😮😮😮
It's Lexus in execution, but not in materials. It's close..
Enjoyed your review, but I have a hard time believing all these hybrids and or turbo focused smaller engines will last as long as Toyota's great V6 and V8 engines. Also, my girlfriend recently purchased a 2020 Avalon XSE. Hardly "Grandpa" - more like Lexus. Sporty, heavy, and 300 hp quick!
It's hard to say how reliability will play out, but I trust the Japanese brands more (in general) for longevity. That said, the first and second gen Priuses are still going strong with 100s of thousands of miles on many of them.
@@revmatchtv - I hope so. I am a big fan of Toyota!
@@revmatchtv As we are approaching 2025 and beyond; A Model of a Car would be redesigned/Styled in 5 years rather than 7 years like in the past; the Toyoda/ Subaru prior to 2020. All Cars/Vehicles will cost more if Longevity expected like the Older Generations of Toyoda/Honda etc.
Camry used to last 20 years with not major Repair Costs; now as technology progress transformed a Car to a Modern uses of AI and Options. 15 years lasting would be best.
And the Hybrids will take advantage of Electric Motor that in general more efficient than ICE. The Continuous Generations of Electric Powers like most Alternators did in the Past; now a Motor is add to smaller Engine and also smaller Engines will give Room/Curbed Weights for the Hybrids ─ We would end up having more powers on both Small Batteries, Small Motors and Small Engines.
Lithium or any Materials to make Batteries would not be cheap when there are more BEV and Hybrids; And the ultimate result of all is Gasolines would be lower as "Supply and Demand"
And the Benefit of Hydrogen Hybrids (with 🔋 🔋) will sure be the Future of 2040 and beyond like Toyoda and Honda envisioned...
Regards,
I had a Prius limited from 2008 (with over 200k miles on it) and it was still amazing - up until a car accident last month.
I got a Crown XLE 2023 and, to be honest, it feels like a more spacious, more lux feeling Prius, which I really love :)
@@timenloe3846 camry hybrids, rav4 hybrids have all been known to get over the 300k mile mark.
It will be delivered soon．😊
Wearing sunglasses in a foggy condition, your vision must be very good.
LA traffic on the daily, commute ~60 miles consistently at 48 mpg and have hit even higher than that many times
Real Gas milage will improve significantly after a couple of tanks of gas.
It's overpriced. I have a 2023 Camry SE with most options, and the 2.5 liter I4. I'm getting 36 MPG in mixed driving, but 44 to 46 MPG on longer trips at the speed limits - mostly 55 to 70 MPG. That's impressive.
But your cars interior is so freeking ugly
I like it because it looks muscular and for men. I don’t want to look like a family
Prototype vehicle? Aren't these already on dealers' lots? Interesting. Oh, and if they are interested in your feedback, could you please suggest that they allow the user to set the top speed on the speedometer to be less than ONE HUNDRED SIXTY MILES PER HOUR? Come on already! How about 120 mph? If it can even go that fast? All the brands are doing this but I have no idea why.
Yup, it was a prototype. Media often gets vehicles that are pre-production especially close to launch. They are sometimes not even made on the same assembly line. Thanks for the feedback. I'll pass it along!
The Avalon it replaced looked better.
Not hardly.
this car is for me i love it but i only need 40k dollars to buy this car 😂😂😂
This is definitely a neat car.
Also, can you review a Mitsubishi Mirage? I heard they are good for pretty cheap.
OK I think Lexus would be better. If you’re spending almost $50,000 I’d never look at it twice.
I think Lexus is more focused on SUVs at the moment. They only have a handful of legacy cars. My guess is that this will be Toyota-only. It feels more car than SUV, but it's still cross-over-y.
@@revmatchtv Lexus is going to transition to more BEVs. There is an new IS in the works as patented images have come out. Yes, Lexus has some SUVs, but they're also focusing on an all-out sports car and some sedans as well. But none are lifted like the Crown is as far as I know.
Love it
The front design is not that great No no!
I want that same exact model! what color is that?
I believe that is Heavy Metal
@@revmatchtv Thank you! also, for the rims in the video, does it come with the XLE, Limited, or platinum edition?
@@Seventh721 This was the the Limited model. I'm not sure which wheels they use for 2024 so check the Toyota website or your dealer.
@@revmatchtv Thank you
@@Seventh721the rims are part of the additional package. Otherwise the ones on the XLE are standard.
7:53 lol
😅
Where is the electric trunk liftand auto close ?
Pas mal du tout
its a lifted sedan
So this car replaces the Avalon. The full size sedan in the US is dying. This is a last attempt to save Toyota “flagship” Vehicle. Only issue I see is the price. For the limited which is the middle model you’re looking 45k. That’s approaching luxury territory. Will be interesting to see how this car does in 3 yrs and if it holds its value
Toyota is getting too expensive for a non luxury brand. Charing Lexus price for a Toyota with bland interior material. The 2023 Toyota Crown XLE should have come with the synthetic leather for a vehicle over $40k USD.
I’d get one if they had an all combustion model. Not doing that hybrid battery bullsh!t.
why?
Why not, it is awesome man.
Hard to imagine anyone being more negative about a vehicle.
Needs a liftback.
No, it doesn't, this car is as perfect a car that we have ever had.
@@gleanerman2195 sure it does.
Too high tech and complicated for the Senior aged owners who will be forced to continue buy the more simple and idiotproof Camry LE's or Corolla LE's. Too high priced for younger owners. Toyota is famous for destroying car markets they originally created; e.g. the Lexus LS and Avalons used to be top sellers until Toyota ruined them.
Click bait
You kept on doing the same mistake over and over by referring to the car to tell you what the MPG was. NEVER NEVER NEVER trust the propaganda from ANY vehicle as to what it is getting for MPG! You have to do the math yourself. 1st, Go to the gas station and fill it up and write down the miles on the odometer. 2nd, drive the car for at least 200 miles and go back to the gas station. 3rd, fill it up and write down the gallons used and the miles riven. 4th , divide the miles by the gallons used and you will get the TRUE MPG. So if you drove 327 miles and used 8.175 gallons you ended up with 40 MPG. Again, never trust the propaganda from the manufacturer!
I can't always justify spending $50 in gas to do a video that may or may not perform well. FWIW I did spend a fair bit of gas money (and hotel cost) on my Prius MPG video. This is not my personal car, but a manufacturer prototype. I try to be transparent about how I performed the test. In my experience, most cars indicate anywhere from 2-10% off from calculated MPG. th-cam.com/video/aUO1--qHLtk/w-d-xo.html
Toyota does not put the MPG numbers on the sticker, a lab does! The lab does all sorts of crazy things like putting the car on a dynometer to check the exhaust measurements and horsepower at different RPMs, drag coefficient, weight and plug it into a formula and the MPG is given. It's only a good guess and many cars return higher actual MPG numbers but those real world MPG are not allowed on the sticker.
@@brianshilling70some return higher and some return lower. Hybrids get worse MPG in winter compared to a gas car. If you go up a hill and not back down hybrids will do bad. The up hill uses a lot more gas significantly lowering mpg. When doing back down you get a lot of that back. Regular gas also gets worse uphill but it just coasts downhill.
Oof... It kinda looks like the famous for being ugly X6M.
Haha I never saw it that way. It's an odd looking vehicle for sure. Has more sedan than SUV vibes though. Drives like a sedan too. It's still odd, but it turned a lot of heads and got a lot of questions in my brief drive.
i saw it in person, for me its not ugly at all especially in one color
@@wayneh1562 I've got the Platinum Edition this week with the higher output powertrain. Curious to see how it is!
@@revmatchtv We love ours, best car we have ever had.
Got one and not happy Slow!!! Brakes so so.. handles poorly! Not a sport car, not really luxury, not a SUV. Not much of anything!!! Just for looks. Open the door and you do not see the back of the seat? Hard to get in. And so on.
Your fault for buying it. Toyotas are not special- they are just middle.
What the hell did you buy, it sure as hell wasn't a Crown. The Platinum version is awesome.
The crown clown sedan is no flagship. It’s not luxurious and it’s just ugly 😂
Looks are subjective. The interior is a pretty nice place, but not full luxe.
Best in class
@@ibrahimbashir6634 no it’s not 😂.
Better luck next time
