About the Toyota Crown S235
The sixteenth-generation Toyota Crown (S235) marks a radical departure for the historic nameplate, transitioning from a traditional rear-wheel-drive saloon to a global crossover-style fastback. Built on the TNGA-K platform, it replaces the Avalon in North America and serves as a premium bridge between Toyota's mainstream models and the Lexus range. The 2.5-litre hybrid powertrain prioritises efficiency over outright speed, utilising an E-Four all-wheel-drive system with a dedicated rear electric motor. Its distinctive elevated stance and fastback silhouette aim to capture the comfort of a luxury sedan with the visibility and ease of entry of an SUV.
