Toyota crown
Toyota Crown is a full-size business-class sedan, one of the oldest Toyota cars produced. The history of Crown has been going on since 1955 and since then 14 generations of this car have been replaced. The location of this sedan in Toyota's lineup is located just above the Avalon and under the flagship of the Japanese company's passenger car line - Toyota Century. Analogues of Toyota Crown and its competitors: Nissan Fuga, Cadillac CTS, Hyundai Grandeur, Buick LaCrosse and other cars of European class E.
Toyota Crown engines are a wide range of various installations. In the latest versions, this is mainly the V6 with a displacement of 2.5 liters, 3.0 liters, 3.5 liters, belonging to the GR family. At the same time, the V8 series UR was also installed, with and without a compressor. On 2003 and older Crown models, the 1JZ and 2JZ in-line six-cylinder engines were used. Simpler versions were equipped with a 2-liter 1G engine. In addition to all of the above, other engines were installed on the Toyota Crown, including diesel ones.
Below are the main data and reviews of Toyota Crown engines, their technical characteristics, problems and repairs, practical service life, tuning, compressor, which oil to pour, how often to change, how much to fill, etc.

Throughout its history, this model has already gone through more than a dozen of all kinds of updates. And now, more recently, the next restyling of the car was shown - Toyota Crown 2018. The car itself is a luxury representative of the brand, which has a bright, even sporty design, excellent interior trim and more or less solid technical filling.
So far, only a concept car has been shown, so perhaps not all of what is on the test sample will go into mass production. The new model stands out for its length - almost 5 meters, as well as a large number of sharp elements in the design.
The front is very long and slopes slightly. The hood is perfectly flat throughout. The optics located in its lateral parts have a parallelogram shape and excellent filling.
The grille takes up most of the muzzle. She received a trapezoidal shape, as well as a large mesh inside. It ends with a chrome strip, under which there is another pair of air intakes that serve to access cold air to the brakes. Small rounds of fog lights are also located here.
On the sides, the new body is decorated in a rather restrained form. The mirrors and door handles were revised and the windows got a new shape. A completely new element was added - the windows in the side pillars near the roof. Below in the photo you can see the aerodynamic body kit.
Least of all the car changed at the back. Of the new here, we can only note the modified optics, as well as the lower part of the bumper, which has become more aggressive and replenished with a double exhaust.
Salon
The features of the interior decoration that the new 2018-2019 Toyota Crown will receive were not announced at the presentation, but we can safely assume that the best materials in decoration will be used here - leather, good fabric, as well as wood and metal.
Prior to this, all versions of the car had a well-designed dashboard, on which you could find a large multimedia screen, as well as several rows of buttons responsible for more fine tuning of comfort elements. The tunnel was luxuriously equipped - wood trim, many compartments for things, as well as a comfortable gearbox handle with parking brake and a long armrest.
The steering wheel has always had some multimedia, but depending on the version, it was always different. The instrument panel also takes on a traditional look, where there are always large speed and revs sensors and a vertically placed on-board computer screen.
There is no doubt about the availability of well-made armchairs, into which most modern technologies will be built. The back row of these cars has always been conducive to spending more time on it. It is usually also presented with two decent seats, and the level of available multimedia is not worse than that of the front row.
Judging by the photo, Toyota Crown 2018 will also receive a luggage compartment that is large enough for a sedan, but it is unlikely that it can be increased by folding the second row of seats.
Technical data
According to some information, Toyota Crown 2018 will receive two gasoline engines, which are boosted by a turbine. The volume of the younger will be 2 liters, and the maximum power that he can give out is 245 horsepower. The second device is a V-shaped "six", the volume of which is 3.5 liters, and the developed power reaches 300 forces.
In the near future, the company also plans to launch into production a hybrid version of the car, which will be driven by a unit consisting of an electric motor and a gasoline unit.
Options and prices
It is precisely confirmed that the new product itself will be able to send data on the technical condition of the car to the service center, thanks to which Toyota specialists will always be able to help you. There will also be a special option ITS Connect, which allows you to establish communication with other machines in the stream.
There is no need to doubt the rich equipment of the model's interior. It would be quite logical to see here: good multimedia, climate control for all zones, many security systems, assistants to facilitate movement and parking, light, rain sensors, adjustments and heating of the steering wheel, windshield, all seats, mirrors, and other functions. How all these elements will be located according to the configuration options is not yet known. The estimated price of the car is 2 million for the basic and 3 million for the extended version.
Release date in Russia
As before, the car will not be delivered to our country, so the start of sales in Russia should not be expected. It's better to go for a test drive right away and buy a new product in European and Asian countries, where it will arrive closer to the summer of 2018.
One of the models of the world-famous automobile company - Toyota Crown of the 2019 model year, was marked with a kind of anniversary. At the recently held presentation, the fifteenth generation of this model was presented (the first was presented already in the 55th year of the last century).
new generation Toyota Crown 2019
Perhaps not every car can boast of such an abundance of restyling. The start of sales in Japan is preparing for the coming June this year. It is worth noting that both external and internal similarities between the restyled version and its conceptual model, presented last fall, are almost identical. But from its predecessors - previous versions - the new product is strikingly different.
2019 Toyota Crown new body design
The appearance of the Toyota Crown, despite its massiveness and long body, speaks of the lightness of the car. In addition, the careful work of the designers and the thoughtful approach of the engineers made it possible to give the sedan a modern and sporty look. A pinch of non-trivial and daring elements immediately allowed to attribute the spirit of excitement to the car.
At the front, the new car boasts a massive inverted trapezoidal grille with an interesting badge replacing the standard Toyota badge. Narrowed headlights, approaching the radiator grille, go down with sharp cuts, which adds even more malice to the "look". The front bumper received an interesting relief version, thanks to which it merges with the grille, and separate sections have been created for the fog lights.
The rear of the new generation Toyota Crown is made in a strict and solid form. The main side lights have a similar shape to the headlights, but without the downward cuts. The luggage compartment lid has received a small size, and the rear bumper has a pair of twin rounded tailpipes. On the side, the car shows off a long bonnet and a medium sized stern. The domed roof of the sedan has a gentle slope towards the rear. The straight line of the ribs - under the windowsills and at the bottom of the side doors - speaks of the swiftness of the model.
Salon of the latest generation Toyota Crown sedan
It should be noted that only a model designed for the Japanese market has been presented so far, which means that it is right-hand drive. Inside, the Toyota Crown literally exudes comfort and a high degree of equipment. The dashboard of the car is designed in such a way that the driver can get maximum information while driving. To the left is a chic central panel with two touchscreens flanked by a pair of vertical air deflectors. The panels of the new Toyota Crown are as sensory as possible - that is, there are practically no buttons here, everything is controlled through the screens.
salon of the new Toyota Crown 2019
The front row of plush and comfortable seats is divided by a wide central tunnel. On it is actually the only button set in the cabin, which allows you to control various functions and options of the car. Natural leather, high quality fabric, soft plastic and carbon imitation are used as finishing materials. In general, the new generation Toyota Crown turned out to be quite chic and comfortable.
The body of the new Crown model, along with its unusual style, received the following overall dimensions:
- length: 4912 mm;
- width: 1802 mm;
- height: 1457 mm;
- wheelbase length: 2922 mm.
In the Japanese market, the manufacturer presents two complete sets of the new model - Athelete (sporty look) and Royal (luxury variation). The differences consist in the design approach to appearance design.
Depending on the configuration, the Toyota Crown will change the shape and appearance of some exterior trim elements - spoilers, exhaust pipes, wheel disks, etc. Inside, both options are actually the same, all their difference lies in the visual design. Even the functional equipment and the availability of various options (including package options) are the same for both versions of the car. The owners do not have to choose much between versions - all that remains is to decide on the nature of the appearance.
Specifications Toyota Crown
Under the hood of the Toyota Crown, the creators offer more variability than with trim levels - here buyers expect three different power units:
- a gasoline 4-cylinder turbo engine with a volume of 2 liters and a capacity of 245 horses, it is equipped with an 8-speed automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive;
- a hybrid power unit, consisting of a 4-cylinder 2.5-liter aspirated gasoline with a capacity of 185 horsepower and a 145-horsepower electric motor, is equipped with a robotic gearbox, and the drive can be rear or full - at the discretion of the buyer. Together, both engines produce 227 horses;
- a reinforced hybrid engine, the operation of which is supported by a 6-cylinder 300-horsepower naturally-aspirated power unit with a volume of 3.5 liters and an electric motor with a capacity of 180 horsepower, a 4-speed automatic with three planetary gears (and nine fixed shift positions) is installed as a transmission, but without torque converter. The maximum power of such an alliance is 360 hp.
Toyota Crown price
The cost of the Toyota Crown in the Japanese market will be 2.637.600-4.082.000 rubles.

At the end of June, sales of the new 2018-2019 Toyota Crown sedan will start on the Japanese market. This is the fifteenth generation of the model, which saw the light, it's scary to think, back in 1955. The updated car with the S220 index will replace the 14th generation car (S210), which was produced for six years (2012-2018).
The base price of Toyota Crown 2018-2019 will be about 42 thousand dollars (2.6 million rubles), the upper cost bar will be set at around 65 thousand dollars (4 million rubles). The model will remain exclusively a product of domestic consumption, produced and sold only in its homeland - in Japan. The only export market where the new Crown may appear is China, but it is too early to talk about the prospects for localizing the sedan assembly there.
New platform and increased dimensions
The "fifteenth" Toyota Crown is built on the modern modular GA-L platform, one of the variations of the TNGA (Toyota New Global Architecture) architecture. Many Toyota / Lexus models, including the latest generations, have already switched to this "cart". Having changed the base, the already large car has increased in size. True, the increase occurred only in length (+15 mm) and in the size of the wheelbase (+70 mm), which amounted to 4910 and 2920 mm, respectively. The Japanese left the width the same (1800 mm), and completely reduced the height by 40 mm (up to 1455 mm).
Together with the correction of the dimensions of the body, Toyota engineers lowered the center of gravity of the car by 15 mm, while simultaneously achieving an almost ideal weight distribution along the axes. For example, in the modification with the "younger" hybrid system, the distribution is generally standard - 50:50, in the other two versions it is close to that - 52:48 (petrol version) and 53:47 ("senior" hybrid).
Body design
The appearance of the 15th generation Toyota Crown serial sedan was declassified back in October 2017, when the concept of the same name was shown at the Tokyo Motor Show. He, as expected, was almost an exact copy of the car that had been put on the conveyor belt. The new Crown has seriously changed compared to its predecessor, gaining more stylish and dynamic body lines with a coupe-like silhouette and bright elements of the external decor.
The front of the model received new headlights with LEDs and an original radiator grill that cuts deep into the bumper. The latter acquired a more aggressive and aerodynamically perfect look, acquiring a pronounced splitter and developed side sections with miniature round foglights.

The stern of the novelty is equipped with a compact trunk lid with a sharpened spoiler edge, luxurious lanterns with a complex pattern and a solid bumper with a powerful diffuser, on the sides of which there are round single or double exhaust pipes (depending on the version).
Sedan feed
In profile, the four-door, for all its solidity and respectability, now looks much more swift and recklessly. This perception is provided by a long bonnet, an elegant dome of the roof with a "shark fin" and an elongated rear window, an impressive, but not at all seemingly overweight, stern. A distinctive feature of the new model will be a six-window layout of the side windows with additional sections at the C-pillars.
Side view
Salon and equipment
The interior of Toyota Crown, with all the abundance of innovations, has retained the classic configuration with a high central tunnel, comfortable first-row seats and spacious rear seats. However, the developers have thoroughly redesigned the console, according to the latest trends, placing two information screens on it at once. The upper one, protruding above the panel, is responsible for multimedia and navigation, the lower trapezoidal shape is for the climate control and seat settings. The instrument cluster has remained faithful to the traditional scheme - well-readable, round scales on the sides and a small on-board computer display in the center. The armrest between the front seats, although it looks as massive as before, is actually 30 mm lower, which is done for the convenience of the driver.
Interior
The richest configurations of the updated sedan will delight you with the widest choice of equipment and high-quality finishing. In the presence of leather interior upholstery (in the initial versions only the top of the front panel is covered with leather), electric adjustment and ventilation of the front seats, a rearview camera, the latest security systems, ITS Connect system for communication with other vehicles and road infrastructure. On the second row, a separate remote control is built into the armrest for controlling the media system, climate and seats. Landing at the rear, by the way, almost did not change, although the increase in the distance between the axles, it would seem, made it possible to free up additional legroom. But Toyota engineers decided that it would be more expedient to increase the margin of space in front of the driver by moving the front wheels away from him.
