My wife wanted a sedan our new Crown Limited replaced a Ford Taurus. We are getting 45 MPG. The crown has easy ingress and egress. AWD in the winter months will be a plus.
Hi Mike - you mentioned several times in your video that the Crown "requires" Premium (unleaded) fuel, but the Crown owner's manual on page 512 states otherwise. It states that "Unleaded Gasoline only" is required and recommends Octane 87 (or higher) for both the normally (non-turbo) aspirated & turbo engines. Thought I would point this out to you (and for others), as I found it confusing every time you mentioned it throughout your video, when I knew that ordinary unleaded Octane 87 is recommended and works fine. Page 523 breaks down the fuel requirements even further for those who wish to know more about the fuel requirements for the Toyota Crown. Otherwise, this was an excellent very detailed video like always!
No issues at all. I love the height of the car, easy to get in and out, I really enjoy the technology and it's a beautiful car. The gas mileage is excellent. I am very happy with this car.
Getting 46+ mpg in my xle , not sure why you say not impressed with the mpg’s 🤔, everyone’s got their own opinion but I love my sedan/suv/whatever you call it 😂
91 is optional but if you want the full horsepower then use premium fuel. All the advertised performance numbers have the disclaimer "with 91-octane fuel"
Toyota seems to have missed the mark on these. I'm not sure I've ever seen one in the wild. Granted full size sedans don't sell well anymore regardless of who makes them. It is hard to see why you'd spend so much more than a Camry. I'd either go Camry or if I wanted more luxury get a Lexus ES if I was planning to buy a Toyota/Lexus sedan.
I have a 2021 Camry SE and I love it! I just don't see anything interesting about this Crown, it just doesn't look alike a Sedan and it definitely does not look better than the Camry. I will never understand why they choose to go this direction. Just seems odd to me.
I feel like the SUV was a split between a Truck and a Sedan. The Crossover is a split between a SUV and a Sedan. The Crown seems to fit between a Crossover and a Sedan.
I got one and do NOT like it. Slow car!!! Brakes so so. Handles poorly. Simply the car is just for its looks. I am 6 foot tall and the car is too small , when you use it you find out how things just do NOT fit. Seat to door arm rest does not cover the job , too short to the back. When the seat is all the way back things get weird. Like you can not see the back of the seat which means you fall back into the seat and this makes getting out hard to do!!! It is made for short people!.....Do not buy!!!.... adendum: The steering wheel is one and a half inches off center! How about that for engineering BS !!!!!! This car is a cluster f-ck!!!!!
I’m confused by your comment. Everything you mentioned would have been something you’d have noticed in a test drive so why would you still buy it if this were the case? I test drove one using your comment as reference recently and found none of these issues you mentioned (the one I drove was the platinum though and not the limited). I will probably be purchasing as I was expecting the worse and was pleasantly surprised.

how many miles you get on a full tank?
@@BogdanPredkoabout 650...
The car does not get 45 miles to the gallon. I have one.
How about ride quality, road noise with 21" wheels and wind noise?

Just took delivery of a 2024 Platinum Hybrid Max. Love it!
tell us about the driver alert feature in the 24

Thank you!
I suppose I got mixed up because all the advertised performance numbers have the disclaimer "with 91-octane fuel".
Awesome video Mike

Terrific job with my new Toyota sedan Mike.
It is definitely interesting I hate how they took the Avalon away for the crown but it is definitely an interesting looking vehicle
Getting 46+ mpg in my xle , not sure why you say not impressed with the mpg’s 🤔, everyone’s got their own opinion but I love my sedan/suv/whatever you call it 😂
46 mpg is good! I was getting mid 30's mostly.
Ours is getting 44.5 MPG 👍
Yeah getting that kind of mileage should make people think twice before dogging the car, we absolutely love ours 👍
@@MikesCarInfodid you try the ECO mode?
@tsw808 No, it is not fun to drive in eco.
For those who question the purpose / want to choose either a Camry or Lexus ES, what were your thoughts on the purpose and existence of the Avalon ?
i like hybrid cars :)
Terrific vehicle Mike.
Stunning color ❣️
I think it looks really nice… it does look different, kinda of sporty
You should do the Kia k5 next
I have a 2024 limited and I love this car
Looking into this exact same trim. Any noticeable issues with the car? It seems like a really good car
Also, out of curiosity did you look into other cars to compare with the Crown? Currently I’m between this and the Hyundai Sonata Limited Hybrid
Interior- Would rather have the 2025 Camry. Exterior- The Crown all day!
Wait… 91 or higher? On the Toyota website it says it takes regular. Is it recommended or is it optional?🤔
91 is optional but if you want the full horsepower then use premium fuel. All the advertised performance numbers have the disclaimer "with 91-octane fuel"
The new Camry is going to look similar to this Crown inside and out. I hope the new Camry will be more impressive than this car is.

Averge sales price of new car is around 40K+ so someone's buying. If it was about money everyone would be driving Corollas like me 😄

38:33 test drive starts here
1. Great review Mike
2. Not sure the point of this vehicle, buy a Camry or a Lexus ES
I feel like the SUV was a split between a Truck and a Sedan. The Crossover is a split between a SUV and a Sedan. The Crown seems to fit between a Crossover and a Sedan.
Consumer Reports says if you're expecting the Crown to have a luxury car ride or luxury car quietness you will be disappointed.
Honda accord is not 4 wheel drive. It should get better mileage
It’s already DOA and selling horribly. It will have a much shorter life then the last Avalon released.
A complete miss on the front end. Toyota needs to get away from the beached whale look.
AGREE >>> and it's twice as ugly in gloss black !!!!
Plus it is way overpriced ....
Well I like my crown. Averaging 42 MPG on varied driving. No issues on the 2.5 hybrid
We love our crown getting 45 MPG easy ingress and egress AWD is going to be nice in the slippery winter months as well.
@@sabertoothduckIf you got money for that battery replacement there’s really no reason not to go
Toyota will regret its decision based on your feelings.

@@mrjfrostbiteexactly. I test driver the 2025 platinum and loved it. Super quiet, soft ride, and FAST. I want it
