2026 Toyota Crown Design and Tech

The 2026 Toyota Crown, despite its elevated 60.6-inch profile, is engineered for confident handling and optimized performance through a strategic combination of lightweight, high-strength materials, advanced welding, and structural adhesives, enhancing body rigidity. A direct-mounted steering gearbox and aerodynamic underbody panels further contribute to precise control and stability. To ensure passenger comfort, the suspension system features MacPherson struts and multilink rear suspension, with swing valve shock absorbers on select trims and Adaptive Variable Suspension (AVS) on the Platinum grade. The AVS system, specifically designed for the Turbo Hybrid powertrain, dynamically adjusts damping to provide enhanced stability and comfort across various drive modes. Vibration reduction is achieved through the use of soft bushings, dynamic dampers, polyurethane-coated coil springs, and reinforced mounting points. Finally, an electronically controlled brake system with Active Cornering Assist (ACA) enhances handling by mitigating understeer, providing a refined and agile driving experience.

The Toyota Crown, a testament to masterful craftsmanship, redefines the modern sedan with its elevated stance, achieved through standard 19-inch or optional 21-inch wheels, which provide drivers with enhanced road visibility and effortless entry and exit, facilitated by a 25-inch hip point. Its dynamic silhouette is accentuated by sweeping character lines and Toyota's signature hammerhead front fascia, featuring distinctive daytime running lights, which create an alluring and dignified presence. Inside, the spacious cabin boasts a premium ambiance, featuring unique color combinations, standard leather-trimmed seating, a digital gauge cluster, piano key controls, a vertical wireless charging port, and the latest Toyota Audio Multimedia system. An available 11-speaker JBL Premium Audio system is also offered on all models except the XLE grade. Exterior color options include Black, Oxygen White, Bronze Age, Heavy Metal, Finish Line Red, and Storm Cloud, with the Platinum grade offering a striking bi-tone paint scheme that pairs a black finish extending from tip to tail with a choice of Oxygen White, Heavy Metal, Finish Line Red, or Bronze Age.

Every drive of the 2026 Toyota Crown elevates the experience with a suite of standard luxury features, including a heated steering wheel and illuminated entry, complemented by 8-way power-adjustable front seats offering comprehensive customization. Passengers enjoy exceptional comfort through heated and ventilated front seats with three adjustable levels, heated rear seats, and standard leather-trimmed upholstery. Dual-zone climate control, accessible via an illuminated dashboard panel, ensures optimal cabin temperature, while a 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster provides customizable displays, including a Hybrid System Indicator for eco-conscious driving. Connectivity is prioritized with a standard vertical wireless Qi charger, multiple USB-C ports, and a 12V charging port. For enhanced visibility, Platinum, Nightshade, and Limited grades feature a fixed panoramic moonroof, with the Platinum grade adding a standard Panoramic View Monitor. A standard backup camera and Smart Key System further enhance convenience. The Platinum grade exclusively includes a Head-Up Display and a power tilt and telescopic steering wheel, solidifying its position as the pinnacle of the Crown lineup.

Your Toyota Crown integrates a sophisticated infotainment experience with the Toyota Audio Multimedia system, centered around a standard 12.3-inch touchscreen that supports both touch and voice activation. An included one-year trial of Drive Connect enhances connectivity with features like Over-the-Air updates and Intelligent Assistant, enabling voice-activated commands for navigation, audio control, and climate adjustment. Audio quality varies by trim, with the XLE featuring a 6-speaker system, while Limited, Nightshade, and Platinum grades boast an 11-speaker JBL Premium Audio System with a subwoofer and amplifier, acoustically tuned for the Crown. Seamless connectivity is ensured through dual Bluetooth phone connectivity, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and an available Wi-Fi Connect subscription that supports up to five devices. Integrated Streaming enables on-board control of Apple Music and Amazon Music subscriptions. Additionally, Crown offers a suite of Connected Services, including a Safety Connect trial with emergency assistance and stolen vehicle locator, Service Connect for vehicle health reports, and a Remote Connect trial that includes Digital Key capability on the Platinum grade and as an option on the Limited, enabling smartphone-based vehicle access and key sharing.
