2025 Toyota Crown Signia

Toyota mostly fulfills its reputation for building efficient and exceptionally reliable vehicles. Most of their models do well in our testing, thanks to their impressive fuel economy, comfortable rides, quiet cabins, and ease of getting in and out. All of this makes Toyotas among the best options for used vehicles. The brand was a hybrid pioneer, starting with the original Prius. Toyota has evolved and expanded that technology, and most vehicles in its lineup are available as a hybrid. Toyota also sells a number of plug-in hybrids, which were once called Prime but are now simply referred to as Plug-in. The company also knows how to add a dose of excitement into its lineup. The GR86, GR Corolla, and Supra are legit, fun-to-drive sports cars. However, some models we’ve tested have been disappointing. The company’s EV, the bZ4X SUV, is mediocre.

If you like the Crown, but wish it could carry a bit more people and cargo, the Crown Signia SUV just may be the answer, splitting the difference between the Crown sedan and a Highlander Hybrid SUV. There is a single powertrain: a 243-hp, 2.5-liter hybrid four-cylinder engine matched to continuously variable transmission. All-wheel drive is standard. The interior design mirrors the Crown, with a digital instrument panel and 12.3-inch infotainment screen. There are two trim levels, XLE and Limited, that define elements such as stereo grade (6 vs. 11 speakers), upholstery, and other features. Toyota's latest full suite of active safety and driver assist feature is standard.
