FAST FACTS
MotorDonkey's proprietary vehicle data identifies every significant version of each model so that you can compare and decide. Ordered by price from low to high, here are the versions of the 2024 Toyota Crown that you need to be aware of, along with our expert analysis and recommendations.
The 2024 Toyota Crown XLE and Limited trims are equipped with the non-turbocharged 2.5-liter hybrid powertrain detailed here, which isn't nearly as quick as the Platinum's "Hybrid Max" powertrain, but is dramatically more fuel-efficient — and cheaper. Another notable difference is that the non-turbo powertrain uses a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT), which feels distinctly less pleasant while accelerating than the conventional six-speed automatic used by the Hybrid Max.
Standard and only available on the top-of-the-line Platinum trim, the Crown's "Hybrid Max" powertrain is a totally different beast from the hybrid system in the Crown XLE and Limited. It ditches the naturally aspirated 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine in favor of a much stronger 2.4-liter turbo four, and it swaps out the CVT for a six-speed conventional automatic. The result is 104 extra horsepower and acceleration that's night-and-day quicker. You also lose a whopping 11 mpg combined if you go with the Hybrid Max, but considering the performance you get with this powertrain, 30 mpg combined — including 29 mpg city — is still pretty great. Is it all worth $53k-plus? That's a big number for a Toyota, but when you try to think of other midsize sedans that deliver this level of all-wheel-drive performance, yeah, maybe it is worth that much.
