ANGELES, Nov. 14, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- With a nod
to the past and an eye toward the future, Toyota announced today
the North American debut of the first-ever Toyota Crown Signia. As
the second entry in the U.S. Toyota Crown lineup, the 2025 Crown
Signia also marks the nameplate's entry into the SUV category. For
almost 70-years of Toyota history, the Toyota Crown name has become
synonymous with quality and sophistication among Toyota vehicles.
In 2024, the Crown Signia will add a new dimension to the ongoing
legend, bringing North American customers an elevated ride and
premium quality in a stylish crossover package.

"The Toyota Crown Signia takes all of the exceptional attributes
of the Toyota Crown name and shapes them into a functional,
sophisticated package that customers will adore," said TMNA Group
Vice President, David Christ at the
product debut. "It's the first-ever entry into the crossover SUV
category for Toyota's longest-running nameplate and it showcases
how we continue to elevate our designs, deliver premium quality,
and take Hybrid efficiency in versatile new directions."
Exclusively equipped with the Toyota Hybrid Electric Vehicle
(HEV) powertrain with On-Demand All Wheel Drive (AWD) standard, the
Crown Signia will be available in XLE and Limited grades and
brings refined style and impeccable comfort in a package that's
sure to turn heads. Its sleek cabin offers upscale comfort with
available textured leather-trimmed seating, elegant finishing
touches like bronze-finished trim and color-matched, soft touch
panels on the doors and dashboard, and a center console with
vertical wireless charger and storage. A large full-color driver's
display and floating 12.3-inch Toyota Audio Multimedia touchscreen
give it high tech vibe that feels like a mobile command center.
The 2025 Toyota Crown Signia will come with the Toyota HEV
system, standard. Powered by a 2.5-liter DOHC four-cylinder engine
with two electric motor generators, this proven tech seamlessly
delivers 243 combined system net horsepower and has a preliminary
manufacturer-estimated 36 combined MPG rating. Toyota's Electronic
On-Demand All-Wheel Drive also comes standard, a highly efficient
system has a dedicated rear electric motor to deliver extra
traction when needed and is capable of towing up to 2,700
pounds.
The Crown Signia's performance vibe comes from a combination of
its wide stance, available 21-inch wheels, and Toyota Hammerhead
front end, which consists of a signature DRL and compact headlight
unit and geometric lower grille. Its flowing roofline and sleek
cabin give it a dramatic shape that's stylish and functional, as it
houses a comfortable cabin with a roomy second row seating that
folds flat to reveal a 6.5-foot-long cargo area. Five fashion
forward colors will also be available, with Storm Cloud, Finish Line Red, Oxygen White,
Black, and Bronze Age. Seating in a choice of Saddle Tan or Black
will be available on both grades.
With the Crown Signia's debut, Toyota will soon have 19
electrified models available for sale in its U.S. model lineup. As
part of Toyota's diverse approach to its carbon neutrality goals,
the Toyota Crown Signia also plays a part in Toyota's "Beyond Zero"
vision to reach carbon neutrality with products, services, and
operations; and find new ways to make a positive impact on the
planet and society.
The 2025 Toyota Crown Signia is expected to arrive at Toyota
Dealerships in the Summer of 2024.
First Class Comfort
The Crown Signia adds a second Toyota Crown model in the US. In
2023, the Toyota Crown sedan brought the nameplate back to the U.S.
after a 51-year hiatus. Globally, the Toyota Crown has been on sale
since 1955 and has long set a standard for innovation and
engineering quality for Toyota. It was also the first Japanese car
to hit American shores back in 1958.
The Toyota Crown Signia brings the celebrated nameplate into the
crossover SUV category for the first time in its history. With a
name based on the term "insignia", the Crown Signia is a nod to the
model's importance over the years, with this first-ever model
standing as an expressive mark of the innovation, creativity, and
achievements of the lineup as it drives forward into a bold new
era.
The Toyota Crown Signia is assembled at the Tsutsumi Plant in
Aichi Japan and uses the Toyota New Global Architecture K (TNGA-K)
platform that also underpins the Crown sedan. As such, Crown Signia
delivers the best of both worlds: sedan-like driving comfort and
SUV versatility. Thanks to its crossover design, the 2025 Toyota
Crown Signia offers ample room for five in a highly maneuverable
package that rides on 21-inch dark gray metallic colored alloy
wheels on the Limited and black-accented 19-inch multi-spoke
machine finished two tone alloy wheels on the XLE.
The TNGA-K platform helps prevent noise intrusion into the
cabin, curbing vibration through the steering, floor, and body
structure. Toyota engineers also spent countless hours studying and
engineering reductions in noise, vibration, and harshness for the
Crown Signia. Noise minimizing materials include acoustic glass on
front side windows, a dash silencer, and an engine cover made of
acoustic absorbing materials.
Crown Signia's seats are comfortable and stylish with moderate
bolsters that cradle the front seat passengers and a lounge-like
design for the rear seats. On the Limited grade, smooth,
high-quality leather-trimmed seats with double stitching, quilting,
and fillet piping that flows up to the headrest provide a lux look.
The XLE's combination of fabric and SofTex®-trimmed seats create a
modern feel.
Crown Signia comes with standard 8-way driver and 8-way
passenger power seats. The power driver's seat on the Limited grade
features an auto slide-away with memory function. The Crown
Signia's available heated and ventilated front seats can be
adjusted to three levels for added comfort. Bronze-finished trim on
the dash, console, and steering wheel on all grades draws focus to
functional elements, like HVAC, drive mode select button, and audio
controls, so they can be easily located.
An available fixed glass Panoramic Roof with retractable shade
on the Limited grade provides a light, airy feel to the interior.
Up front, the center console allows for easy connection to personal
devices, with a vertical wireless charger and three USB-C ports.
The cup holder is designed with everyday functionality in mind,
with a recessed design to help prevent drinks from spilling over to
the shifter side. There is also a partition in the middle of the
cup holder, maximizing its utility to fit long items like phones,
tablets, and wallets.
In the rear, passengers will enjoy the comfort and convenience
of dedicated air vents, two cup holders, a rear bottle holder,
seatback pockets, and two USB Type-C ports standard. Cargo space is
abundant on Crown Signia with a rear deck that's made for an active
lifestyle, including a tonneau cover and aluminum scuff plate.
Customers who need more room to accommodate outdoor equipment or
luggage will appreciate 60/40 second-row fold-flat seats with an
extension panel, which provides a cargo space that is
six-and-a-half feet long. The rear power liftgate allows for
hands-free operation, and for convenience the rear seat release can
be accessed from rear liftgate opening.
Hybrid and All Wheel Drive Across the Board
The Toyota lineup continues to expand its HEV offerings with the
addition of the Crown Signia. As such, it's classified as a Super
Ultra Low Emission Vehicle (SULEV) for passenger vehicle emissions.
It uses an Electronically Controlled Continuously Variable
Transmission (ECVT) for optimal fuel economy.
As with all Toyota hybrids, the feeling of everyday acceleration
and responsiveness is heightened by the way the electric motor
boosts low-speed torque. Selectable NORMAL, ECO and SPORT driving
modes let the driver tailor the Crown Signia's performance
personality.
SPORT mode improves and sharpens throttle response. ECO mode
changes the throttle and environmental logic to help the driver
focus on maximizing mileage from the fuel and battery, while NORMAL
mode is ideal for everyday driving. Additionally, EV mode allows
electric-only driving at low speeds for short distances.
Its Electronic On-Demand AWD employs a separate rear-mounted
electric motor to power the rear wheels when needed. It works
seamlessly and transparently, preemptively distributing up to 80
percent of driving force to the rear wheels which helps suppress
front wheel slip during off-the-line starts. The system also
enhances cornering agility by helping to reduce understeer. Torque
distribution varies with conditions, from 100:0 in constant-speed
driving to 20:80 on slippery surfaces. Torque distribution can be
indicated on the Multi-information Display and audio system
screen.
Cutting Edge Tech with Toyota Audio Multimedia
The 2025 Toyota Crown Signia comes with a 12.3-inch color Multi
Information Display (MID) and 12.3-inch touchscreen with the latest
Toyota Audio Multimedia system, standard. The MID provides a layout
that is easily customized based on user preferences and provides
drivers with information that fits their driving situation. Large,
colorful digital "dials" are easy to read and can display a
combination of information, with options like a tachometer for the
performance minded driver or eco drive mode monitor for the hyper
miler seeking maximum MPG.
The Toyota Audio Multimedia System (TAMM) with a 12.3-inch
touchscreen with wireless Bluetooth® connectivity is standard on
all grades. The system is designed and engineered by Toyota's
Texas-based Connected Technology
team and is Over-the-Air Updatable. With an active Drive Connect*
trial subscription, customers can take advantage of Intelligent
Assistant, Cloud Navigation, and Destination Assist, which allows
simple phrases like "Hey Toyota" to awaken the system for voice
activated commands to search for directions and find Points of
Interest (with an active Drive Connect trial or subscription),
adjust audio controls, change the cabin temperatures and more.
Crown Signia's audio system was designed and tuned specifically
for the vehicle for optimum audio enjoyment. The XLE grade equipped
with a 6-speaker layout for crystal clear sound and for next level
sound the Limited grade comes standard with an 11-speaker JBL®
Premium audio system with subwoofer powered by an amplifier.
In addition to AM/FM radio, Toyota audio systems serve up a full
roster of connectivity tech, including wireless Apple CarPlay® and
Android Auto™ compatibility. Apple CarPlay includes access to
Siri®, while Android Auto users can access Google Assistant. All
Crown Signia grades come with a SiriusXM® Platinum Plan 3-month
trial subscription to Satellite Radio and HD Radio™.
A digital rearview mirror with HomeLink® universal transceiver
is standard on the Limited grade and helps the driver see what's
behind the vehicle with the flip of a switch to instantly provide
the driver with a wide, unobstructed view from a rear camera.
To further aid outward visibility, the Limited grade has an
available Panoramic View Monitor with 360-degree Overhead View and
Curb View that operates in low-speed drive and reverse. For
additional convenience, the Limited grade comes standard with a
Smart Key System that works on all four doors and the rear
