I have purchased used Camry's and Corollas for all 4 of my nieces and nephews first cars. The vehicles run forever. I just traded my 2016 Avalon for a new 2024 Crown. Owned the Avalon for 8 years and put 130K on it. It was driven hard and most of its life was on a dirt road. The vehicle never left me stranded but it was time for a new Toyota. The Crown seemed to be the logical choice. I liked the color and the interior. The Options on the Limited were very close to the Avalon. The car rides very well, handling is outstanding, steering response is tight with no play in the wheel. Acceleration is on the weak side but then again it is a luxury hybrid vehicle. The interior is laid out with the driver in mind. All the controls are at your fingertips. Noise is questionable, as the engine noise is very noticeable when you accelerate. I am still getting use to the vehicle with just over 1000 miles on it. I am averaging 38.9 miles per gallon. However, I drive it a bit hard. I think this car is in the middle when it comes to luxury. some place between a Lexus and a Cadillac. If you are looking for a well built vehicle that is on the finer side of style and luxury, I think the CROWN fits that category. When I purchase a Toyota I always feel like I am buying a vehicle that was made to last and be reliable. If the CROWN is like every other Toyota I have owned throughout the years, it will live up to the car makers reputation and serve my transportation needs for many years. For the quality of the car, styling, luxury and price, it is my opinion that the Crown is a worth the cost compared to the may high end car companies that want 10 to 30 thousand more and do not offer the reliability. I have test driven GM's, Lincoln's and other high end vehicles. You will not find a better comparative vehicle for your money than Toyota CROWN.

10,000 MILE UPDATE I stand by everything in the original review. The car drives and rides very smoothly, my gas mileage is exceptional, easily living up to the 41MPG EPA even on long drives. Electronics have been rock solid except for the very occasional CarPlay dropout, but reconnects quickly. My only new complaint is the strange cupholders. It can be very tricky getting a cup into them, and some cups with larger diameters will not fit at all. Bottom line, this is a car I leased but would absolutely be willing to buy (although I'd probably buy the new Crown Signia SUV instead of the sedan). ORIGINAL REVIEW I have 1,500 miles on my Crown, driving mostly around the city but also two longish road trips. While I would have preferred the Limited model, the budget allowed for the XLE. Two nice benefits to the XLE, besides price. The cloth seats are VERY comfortable, and hopefully negate the need for ventilated seats, which aren't available on the XLE. Also there is more headroom in the XLE because there is no sunroof. I test drove the Limited as well, and agree with reviewers that the headroom in the Limited and Platinum models is quite limited (I'm 6' 1"). The only other features I really miss with the XLE are memory seats and a heated steering wheel. The base stereo in the XLE is perfectly fine. The car drives very smoothly and quietly for the most part. Acceleration is... adequate. Handling is good and the ride is very soft, which is what I wanted. If you love the feel of stabbing the accelerator on an onramp, seek out a sport sedan or maybe the Platinum Crown because the "fun to drive" quotient on the XLE/Limited is not very high. Coming out of an Acura TLX, this is what I wanted. The Crown does sit slightly higher than a normal car, which eases entry/exit. The car is quiet, but I wouldn't say it is Lexus quiet. The engine (particularly the CVT) is fairly loud and unrefined-sounding under hard acceleration but fades to the background. Fuel economy around town is definitely in line with EPA estimates, easily 40MPG. Some trips I beat that, some trips I don't. Note on my two long trips I averaged about 35MPG, with the cruise set at 79MPH. Three reasons for this, one is I took the drive in cold weather with winter fuel blends that get lower mileage. Two, drive much above 70MPH and the MPG falls. Three, with cruise engaged the hybrid system has very little chance to activate. When I disengaged the cruise through Chicago traffic my MPG improved. This is the least annoying new car (of three) I have owned in the last ten years. That doesn't sound like a compliment but it is. Toyota did a masterful job of eliminating the systems annoyances, or at least allows me to shut them off. The adaptive cruise system is brilliant. The lane centering works extremely well, although Toyota does require you to forcefully handle the wheel to avoid shutting off the system. Wireless CarPlay has thus far connected flawlessly and quickly. Toyota requires interacting with the screen only for infotainment and system setup options, and still uses manual controls for climate, THANK YOU! I think the car is beautifully styled on the outside. The interior won't win any styling contests, although it is highly functional and feels very well made. Most Crowns including mine come in a very drab black interior color that wouldn't feel out of place on a Spinal Tap album cover. On the Limited, you can get a macadamia white that will burn your retinas, or a chestnut brown that adds barely more contrast to the tomb black. C'mon Toyota, let's freshen up the interior color choices. The Toyota app works very well, but I don't use it much. I did switch off some of the unneeded notifications (such as my car being unlocked, or to check the back seat for left-behind passengers). Bottom line, I was looking for a good looking, smooth, comfortable car, that allows me to minimize my trips to the gas station. The Crown succeeds fully in its mission.

I carefully studied the available cars and this one fit all my requirements. Big, safe, reliable and gets good mileage. Great for the freeway as well as around town. The Platinum model is well worth the extra cost. Very happy with the purchase.

Is an AWD Hybrid sedan/crossover. Lol I still don’t know the difference but so what. Looks Sporty and feels luxurious plus is comfortable inside. Practical due to the size and MPG. Drives quiet and sporty. On my 3rd week with the car driving 20 miles back and forth daily and still have 1/2 a tank. Needs a sunglasses holder and could have been a hatchback, or at least auto trunk release opening but these are small complaints. Is also up there in price, but maybe because there is a niche target. I got the tech package and is worth it cause you get the wheels, camera and JBL.

We recently traded our 2021 Highlander XKE off and got into a 2024 Crown XLE. Call it a midlife crisis purchase, but we wanted something that didn't look like everyone else's! We absolutely love the look, the ride, the MPGs! What we down sized in room we got back in MPGs. Going from the Highlander to a sedan has been interesting though! Lack of dash space has been the biggest challenge. I feel Toyota could have easily incorporated some of the Highlander dash lay out in the Crown, especially since this is the target audience they are trying to get. I also believe at this price point the Crown should have the leather in all 3 trims along with the 360° camera. Only other complaint would be where they put the rear trunk button, should be under the lip and not where it is, somewhat irritating! Overall GREAT ride, great MPGs and in our opinion very stylish! We also love coming out of a grocery store and know exactly which vehicle is ours! We love our 2024 Crown, just feels a bit under refined!
