Theory, The Crown is made specifically for old people, it’s raised height is not for clearance but for seat height to make it easier to get in and out of for the elderly

[Fastar]

Here is my reason for this car: Since this is to replace the Avalon which is mostly bought by older buyers who wanted a softer ride and not really care too much about power and speed. So this seem to actually make sense to me (I know my idea isn't going to be a popular one), the older buyers normally do have issues with their legs and knees, etc. My parents for example likes driving CARs, and not SUVs, but with their bad knees, it is really hard for them to get in and out of their cars, so having the Crown as a Car, but with higher seating position, it means it would be much easier for older buyers to get in and out of the vehicle. Also give it a car feel and not an SUV that many may not want to own. One thing I starting to notice more and more is that as we advance in technology and sell more high tech gadgets, it is harder and harder for old consumers to use. Many aren't good with smart phones, many aren't good with new techs in cars, etc. Even some covid tests are depending on apps. While I understand the focus is younger people, but something should still be considered for the older consumers. Just my 2 cents.

As a person who isn't elderly (lol), I can appreciate this model. I personally have a 2020 Corolla night shade SE. I've test driven a Rav-4 which I thought I wanted to purchase. For me, it was way too large and felt clunky. I want to trade in my car but wasn't sold on a different model car as I felt the Camry is over saturated and I want something a little taller and roomier. Answered prayers! I want to test drive this asap

It's not weird, it's bringing back the proportions cars had back in the 50s and 60s as opposed to modern sedans. People like the comfort of sitting upright in a seat rather feeling like they are on the floor, and they like a view of the road and head room. This car is a happier balance for someone who wants a more comfortable sedan rather than an SUV.

I live in Japan. The Crown is one of the most iconic Toyota brands in terms of its history, so the SUV-like styling was a big shock to the car scene here when it was announced. But honestly, after seeing a bunch of these new Crowns on the street, I think it looks rather elegant and certainly worthy of the Crown moniker, especially on the trims where the plastic wheel arches are body-coloured and not black plastic, like the new Subaru WRX.

Getting 40mpg in a fairly large, comfortable 'sedan' is pretty impressive. I can see its place in the market.

[benmcwhat]

Good to see a non-SUV alternative, I like it. Not everything has to be tall and ponderous on the road

[AU]

I think this is one of the most appealing design choices Toyota has made in a very long time.

[mjjferreira]

That's a car to drive and relax. Why does everything need to be fast and dynamic? It seems to be an amazing car for it's purpose.

[Mk-qbny]

It's fantastic that there's still a car that's not hopping onto the obligatory performance wagon. Comfort is king for many people frustrated why their car has to perform on track that exists nowhere in daily life rather than on the potholes that do. And it's a nice looking, practical niche car. Glad it exists.

I feel like most car critics said this car would fail, but... I see them popping up all over. It is rather snowy where i live, and the raised sedan is becoming quite popular!

[HoneybeeCocobutter]

I bought one in August and so far I’m loving it and get lots of compliments from strangers. Yes the SUV has taken over for years and is a very useful body style but it is also so common to the point of boring at this point. I probably fit into that older person category but this is a beautiful car and everyone wants better mileage these days.

[FrankieProkop]

Very, very intrigued by this. Utterly bizarre. But that Sportcross is 10000% times more intriguing.

[quaidmciver]

Nice review. Platinum Crown actually doesn’t use a planetary gear set aka Toyota E-CVT, but use a new 6 speed torque converter automatic transmission and uses a different RWD bias full time all wheel drive system.

[maddydog]

This car is beautiful!! My entire family own Toyota’s my father is a retired Toyota mechanic, my two brothers own a Toyota dealership, Toyota’s are the best and most dependable vehicle you can buy 💙

[aperry]

I really like the look of it a lot. All the SUVs look the same, regardless of the manufacturer and it’s nice to see something that looks different!

[jacobyo]

The fact that it’s not a hatchback is a mind boggling decision. It’s literally shaped like one

[DubiousGamingOnline]

I'm an Avalon owner, former Venza owner. I'm highly interested in this car because as someone from Denver, the biggest complaint with my Avalon hybrid is the lack of AWD.

[LarlaBrown]

Hi! 32 year old Crown owner here. First off, the car he’s showing is the most boring colors available. I have a 2023 limited, in a beautiful exterior red with light macadamia interior. I got it because I drive a LOT for work, so I wanted great fuel efficiency, roomy cabin and luxury feel comfort without the high luxury brand/ EV maintenance costs or plug in limitations. I have gotten so many compliments since buying it and people asking me about this model. This is my favorite car I’ve had, including bmw 530E and rav4. His opinions are irritating and unnecessary. I was mostly looking at high end crossovers but none of them had this gas mileage. I was considering a Lexus but this gave me the same cabin and everything I needed for better price. My passengers have called it very roomy and comfortable. I love it and highly recommend this car. Also, who cares what the Home Screen looks like if you use Apple car play? Tell me you’re a green bubble guy without telling me… This Dude is such a hater lol calling it weird, strange, dull and typical while also complimenting so many of the features. Why all the shade?

Ps I’m tall and in shape. So no, not only for people who are old, overweight with arthritis. I just value comfort. Smh

It's NOT an SUV. It's what a good sedan should look like.
