The crossover of the Japanese brand, intended for the global market, will be presented in a week, on November 14, ahead of the Los Angeles Auto Show.
Toyota published a teaser of a future unnamed new product a couple of weeks ago, which showed part of the stern with nameplates and a taillight. Then we assumed that the photo was hiding a SUV, which in Japan is presented under the name Crown Estate. Now the manufacturer has officially confirmed that a corresponding crossover intended for North America (and for the global market as a whole) is being prepared for presentation. This new product will be called Toyota Crown SUV.
First teaser of Toyota Crown SUV
The manufacturer said that the official presentation of the Toyota Crown SUV will take place in about a week, ahead of the Los Angeles Auto Show on November 14. The company's announcement was accompanied by a new teaser, which also shows part of the stern. The image allows you to see the rear window with a spoiler at the top of the tailgate, a brake light is integrated into it.
New teaser of Toyota Crown SUV
Above, on the roof, there is a shark fin antenna, and under the glass there are rear lights, connected by a luminous strip across the entire width of the stern. Below this line in the center is the brand logo and the name of the family – Crown. However, this teaser did not show anything new: the rear of the Toyota Crown Estate SUV, which is intended for the Japanese market, is designed in a similar way.
In the previous teaser, a nameplate was still visible, lifting the veil of secrecy over the “filling” of the crossover: on the North American market, the new product will be available with a HEV hybrid installation (without the possibility of recharging from the mains) and all-wheel drive. Details about the technology will be revealed during the presentation.

As Kolesa.ru noted earlier, there is a possibility that the crossover will share the range with the American all-wheel drive Toyota Crown sedan. Its line includes two hybrids — the first is based on a 2.5-liter naturally aspirated engine, working in tandem with a pair of electric motors and an electromechanical CVT (total output — 239 hp); the second installation is based on a 2.4-liter turbo engine, which comes complete with one electric motor on the rear axle and a six-speed automatic transmission (total power — 345 hp).
According to preliminary data, the five-seat Crown SUV will be based on the GA-K platform, on which the already mentioned sedan of the family, also available in the States, is based. It is likely that the global crossover will have the same dimensions as the version for the domestic market: its length is 4930 mm, width – 1880 mm, height – 1620 mm, and the distance between the axles is 2850 mm. Such an SUV will be comparable to the Toyota Highlander crossover with local registration (it is 4950 mm long, and its wheelbase is the same as the Japanese Crown Estate).
Meanwhile, the true successor to the Toyota Crown entered the market: the classic sedan received rear-wheel drive and two settings to choose from. In Japan, it is offered as a HEV hybrid based on a gasoline four-cylinder 2.5-liter naturally aspirated A25A-FXS (185 hp), working in tandem with two electric motors. The second version of the new product runs on hydrogen (FCEV), the modification borrowed technology from the related model Toyota Mirai. This Crown Sedan is equipped with a 182-horsepower electric motor located on the rear axle and three hydrogen tanks; The range on one fill is 820 km.
