2026 Toyota Crown Interior, Review, Images  –  First impressions suggest that the 2026 Toyota Crown is an out-of-the-ordinary addition to the North American market for the automaker. To put it mildly, this is not a winning formula: an unusual sedan introduced at a time when sales of SUVs are on the rise, a brand that has been out of the Canadian market for decades, and virtually no advertising since its release. However, once you climb into the driver’s seat of this unique sedan—which exudes an air of stunning sophistication and exceptional economy—you will feel as though you are steering a miracle.

2026 Toyota Crown Redesign and Update Plan

Exterior and Interior

Nowadays, it’s commonplace to see wireless smartphone connections for systems like Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, in addition to a wireless charger that may be positioned vertically. Both vehicles share many commonalities, including an electronic instrument cluster and a 12.3-inch touchscreen, five USB charging outlets (two in the front and two in the rear), and heated front seats with eight-way power adjustment. Additionally, the upholstery is crafted from leather. The most expensive Platinum level has all of those fantastic features and more, as well as a brand new powertrain. You get all of these bonuses when you get the Platinum plan.

2026 Toyota Crown Specs

Leather upholstery on top of exceedingly supportive and comfortable seats is yours with the $5,655 Limited package, an optional extra. The Limited package is optional, but not mandatory. Consequently, the all-electric Nissan Ariya’s seats face tough competition in the mainstream market for quality seats. It may not be as cramped as a La-Z-Boy, but it still makes you feel like you’re slipping into the driver’s seat rather than sitting on top of it. This remains true regardless of how much less packed it is. These constraints are nice regardless of how many hours a motorist is on the road.   2026 Toyota Crown Interior

This test vehicle is an entry-level XLE, which has a conventional suspension rather than the adaptive dampers featured in the Platinum trim. Regardless, the ride is excellent in every way. Truthfully, it competes with, and even surpasses, more expensive machinery from brands like Mercedes-Benz. In addition to effortlessly soaking up defects, it maintains the Crown in a condition of eternal blissful tranquility.

Engine and Performance

The engine in the Platinum trim uses a turbocharged gas motor to produce 340 horsepower, making it more powerful than the engine in this model. While it shares the hybrid moniker with other models, this one sticks to more conventional methods, with a normally aspirated engine that isn’t as powerful as the latest hybrids.

There is an electrical component in the hybrid system as well, although it is an optional addition. With 236 horsepower from the gas and electric engines combined, there is a slight improvement in power output when compared to the Camry Hybrid, which also has a similar setup. Even though it makes a buzzing sound when the throttle is turned all the way up, the engine always seems to have enough power when needed. The continuously variable gearbox (CVT), an automatic transmission, is more to fault.    2026 Toyota Crown Interior

2026 Toyota Crown Fuel Economy

In spite of this, the volume is not so loud that it comes across as crude. With an official combined consumption rate of 5.7 liters per hundred kilometers, the powertrain is the most fuel-efficient option. Testing showed that this figure was easily (albeit slightly) surpassed in relation to the transmission’s most important feature. The average fuel economy was determined to be 5.5 liters per hundred kilometers after 150 km of driving with significant variations. Regular old gas powers the Crown (or Crowns).    2026 Toyota Crown Interior

Safety Features of the 2026 Toyota Crown

A number of state-of-the-art safety systems are standard on all Toyotas, regardless of trim level. For quite some time now, Toyota has been doing this. The adaptive cruise control technology of this car also helps with two-way traffic control. The Limited package is an optional feature for the XLE trim level that includes a parallel and perpendicular self-parking system. The kit also includes wipers that can detect when it is raining. This feature is also included as standard on the Platinum trim level.

The car’s proactive driving aid technology, which automatically lowers speed if it senses a vehicle ahead of it, requires some getting used to. It will take some time for you to adjust at first. The technological advancements, on the other hand, work just as intended. Imagine it as a form of adaptive cruise control without a fixed speed—excellent in some contexts, but unable to completely halt the vehicle when traffic is slowing down, like at a red light—because of this. Temporary or permanent withdrawal from the system is necessary for acclimation or disengagement.2026 Toyota Crown Interior

2026 Toyota Crown Price and Release Date

Despite its distinctive styling and all-wheel drive, the Crown is more expensive than the most expensive gas-electric Camry and the 2026 Honda Accord Hybrid, both of which share the same hybrid drivetrain. The Crown has an unnegotiable freight charge of $1,860 added to its base price of $45,590. From $59,990 for the Platinum grade, the price of the sedan increases to $51,245 with the Limited package. Not even including the cost of shipping and taxes does that total up.

The 2026 Toyota Crown seems like a great buy, even though it’s not quite inexpensive. An unrivaled powertrain and an extraordinarily soft suspension contribute to this car’s signature smoothness. Almost everything you buy here is of the same high quality as a Lexus, but it will cost you far less.    2026 Toyota Crown Interior

Returning the Crown to this area is not the best option, at least from a practical one. Just like a contemporary ruler would have zero common sense, this is also true. However, it is a midsize car that brazenly boasts luxury and looks fantastic doing it. Even though Toyota probably won’t sell more than a few Crowns in Canada per year, the fact that they’re all one-of-a-kind gives them an air of rarity and makes them even better than they are as great sedans.
