The New 2026 Toyota Crown

Power and efficiency rarely go hand in hand, but Toyota found a way to deliver both. Every 2026 Toyota Crown comes standard with a hybrid powertrain. You get to choose between two impressive systems depending on your driving style. The Hybrid MAX system is perfect for drivers who crave excitement. It combines a 2.4-liter turbocharged engine with a rear eAxle to produce 340 horsepower and 400 lb-ft of torque.

A direct-shift 6-speed automatic transmission pairs with front and rear electric motors for seamless power delivery. This setup generates strong torque at low RPM, which means you feel that sporty acceleration right when you press the pedal. The best part is that you still get an EPA-estimated 30 MPG combined city and highway.

The Toyota Hybrid System takes a different approach. It pairs two electric motors with a 2.5-liter engine for an EPA-estimated 41 MPG combined rating. The nickel-metal hydride battery provides responsive acceleration at low speeds. This system gives you a satisfying driving feel while keeping fuel costs low. You also get five selectable drive modes to match your mood. Choose from Normal, Eco, Sport, Rear Comfort, or Custom settings.

The Toyota Crown Hybrid puts comfort at the top of its priority list. Engineers reinforced the seat mounting points to reduce shake from the road. You feel the difference immediately. The spacious cabin has a premium feel with unique color combinations and standard leather-trimmed seating throughout.

Piano key controls add a touch of elegance to the center console. A standard heated steering wheel warms your hands on cold Texas mornings, and illuminated entry welcomes you every time you approach the vehicle. Both front seats feature 8-way power adjustability with slide, recline, tilt, and height adjustments. The driver's seat also includes lumbar support for those longer drives.

Standard heated and ventilated front seats let you adjust to three different levels. The rear seats get heat as well, along with ample cushioning and bolster support. Dual-zone climate control keeps everyone comfortable. An illuminated control panel runs along the dashboard so you can make adjustments without taking your eyes off the road for long.

The Crown exists in its own category. Toyota designed it as a mix between sedans and crossovers, and the result is stunning. A coupe-like roofline flows into a higher ride height that gives you the best of both worlds, plus rounded and sweeping character lines create a head-turning look.

Up front, a hammerhead fascia makes a bold statement. Daytime running lights sit at the very tip for a distinctive appearance. The Crown rides on standard 19-inch wheels, though 21-inch wheels are available if you want an even more commanding presence. The Platinum grade offers a bi-tone paint option that pairs black paint from tip to tail with your chosen color. A fixed panoramic moonroof floods the cabin with natural light on select grades.

Toyota packed the Crown with features that make every drive more enjoyable. The standard Toyota Audio Multimedia system displays on a generous 12.3-inch touchscreen. Simple phrases like "Hey, Toyota," wake up the Intelligent Assistant for voice-activated commands. You can keep your hands on the wheel while adjusting the temperature or finding your favorite playlist.

A vertical wireless charging port keeps your phone powered up without messy cables. The available 11-speaker JBL Premium Audio system with subwoofer and amplifier transforms your cabin into a concert hall. Every Crown grade also includes a 12.3-inch color digital gauge cluster with selectable displays.

A Hybrid System Indicator shows your drive system output and regeneration status. The available Head-Up Display projects important information like speed and warning indicators right onto your windshield.

Your safety matters more than anything else. Toyota Safety Sense 3.0 comes standard on every single trim level. This comprehensive suite protects you and your passengers with advanced technology.

The Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection watches the road ahead and can help avoid accidents. Proactive Driving Assist works alongside TSS 3.0 to anticipate potential hazards. Standard Blind Spot Monitor alerts you when vehicles enter your blind zones during lane changes.

The Panoramic View Monitor provides a 360-degree overhead view of your surroundings. This makes parking in tight spots much easier. A standard backup camera features projected path and dynamic gridlines to guide you when reversing.

The XLE starts strong with equipment that rivals other brands' top trims. You get the 2.5-liter Toyota Hybrid System paired with Electronic On-Demand All-Wheel Drive. Three selectable drive modes let you tailor the driving experience. The 19-inch alloy wheels look sharp from every angle.

Inside, you find illuminated entry, a heated steering wheel, and heated and ventilated powered leather-trimmed front seats. The rear seats get heat as well. Toyota Audio Multimedia with a 12.3-inch touchscreen and 6 speakers keeps you entertained on every journey.

The Limited grade takes everything from the XLE and adds even more refinement. Multibeam LED headlights cut through the darkness with precision. A fixed panoramic roof opens up the cabin to the sky. The 11-speaker JBL Premium Audio system delivers incredible sound quality.

Rain-sensing windshield wipers activate automatically when drops hit the glass. Front and Rear Parking Assist with Automatic Braking helps you maneuver with confidence. An available Advanced Technology package adds dark metallic 21-inch 10-spoke alloy wheels along with additional safety features.

The Nightshade Edition builds off the Limited grade with a darker attitude. You get all those great Limited features with a bold twist. Dark badging, dark window trim, and black exterior accents transform the appearance. Black door handles, mirror caps, and a shark fin antenna complete the look.

This edition rides on 21-inch matte-black wheels that demand attention. If you want your Crown to make a statement, the Nightshade Edition delivers.

The Platinum grade sits at the top of the lineup as the only trim with Hybrid MAX available. You get the full 340 horsepower and 400 lb-ft of torque from that turbocharged powertrain. Full-Time Electronic All-Wheel Drive and Adaptive Variable Suspension keep you planted in any condition.

Five selectable drive modes give you more control over the driving experience. Advanced Park takes the stress out of tight spaces. The 21-inch alloy wheels with black accents look absolutely stunning. A Head-Up Display, powered tilt and telescopic steering wheel, and Dynamic Rear Steering all come standard.

Traffic Jam Assist, Lane Change Assist, and Front Cross-Traffic Alert add even more safety. The hands-free power trunk makes loading groceries a breeze. The available bi-tone paint option gives the Platinum a truly premium appearance.
