What is the Toyota Crown?

Generations and engines
The modern US and Canadian Crown belongs to the sixteenth generation, code S235. The listed engine sizes span 2.4 to 2.5 litres. The US versions are hybrids; the Canadian listing identifies petrol versions.
EU registration figures also record a Crown in 2011: one 1.0-litre petrol version.
How economical is the Crown?
In the US, the lowest listed combined consumption is 5.7 L/100 km, and the best combined rating is 41 MPG under EPA testing. Canada’s lowest listed consumption is also 5.7 L/100 km under NRCan’s five-cycle procedure. European WLTP or NEDC, US EPA and Canadian five-cycle figures use different test procedures, so their results are not directly comparable.
The EU recorded 96 Crowns in 2011. The US and Canadian listings cover 2023–2026 and include two versions in each market.
