Toyota recently provided a sneak peek into the future with the rear view of their upcoming 2025 Toyota Crown Signia. Having experienced test-driving the 2023 Toyota Crown, the anticipation for the new model was palpable. Now, the wait is over. As a pioneer in innovation since 1955, the Toyota Crown returns to the American market after a 70-year hiatus, marking its first foray into the hybrid crossover SUV category.

A Design that Commands Attention
The 2025 Toyota Crown Signia is not just a vehicle; it’s a statement. Boasting a refined style that turns heads, it offers a choice of five fashion-forward colors: Storm Cloud, Finish Line Red, Oxygen White, Black, and Bronze Age. The sleek cabin provides upscale comfort with textured leather-trimmed seating in Saddle Tan or Black, available on both XLE and Limited trims. Bronze-finished trim, color-matched soft-touch panels, and a center console with a vertical wireless charger add elegant finishing touches.
A Performance Vibe with Unmatched Comfort
The name “Crown Signia” reflects the model’s significance throughout its history. It combines sedan-like driving comfort with SUV versatility, accommodating five passengers in a highly maneuverable package. The crossover design rides on stylish wheels, with 21-inch dark gray metallic colored alloy wheels on the Limited trim and black-accented 19-inch multi-spoke machine-finished two-tone alloy wheels on the XLE. The cabin prioritizes quiet and comfort, thanks to the Toyota New Global Architecture (TNGA-K) platform and noise-minimizing materials.

Comfort Beyond Expectations
Crown Signia’s seats offer both comfort and style, with the Limited grade featuring smooth, high-quality leather-trimmed seats. The XLE trim opts for a modern feel with a combination of fabric and SofTex trimmed seats. The interior is designed for convenience, featuring a fixed glass Panoramic Roof on the Limited grade provides an airy feel to the interior, although I couldn’t help but wish for an option to open it. The center console’s design prioritizes everyday functionality, with a vertical wireless charger, USB-C ports, and a cup holder designed to prevent spills. Rear passengers enjoy dedicated air vents, cup holders, seatback pockets, and two USB Type-C ports.

Ample Cargo Room
The cargo space in the 2025 Toyota Crown Signia is exceptionally generous, making it an ideal choice for customers requiring extra room for groceries, strollers, outdoor gear, or luggage. The 60/40 second-row fold-flat seats, coupled with an extension panel, create a cargo area spanning an impressive six-and-a-half feet. Adding to the convenience, the rear power liftgate enables hands-free operation, and for added ease, the release for the rear seats can be accessed directly from the rear liftgate opening.
Power Packed Efficiency
The Electronic On-Demand AWD system, combined with a 2.5-liter DOHC four-cylinder engine and two electric motor generators, provides a seamless driving experience with 243 combined system net horsepower and a preliminary 36 combined MPG.

Cutting-edge tech for a Connected Drive
The 2025 Toyota Crown Signia comes equipped with cutting-edge technology, making it a mobile command center on wheels. The 12.3-inch color Multi-Information Display (MID) and touchscreen offer a customizable layout, providing drivers with essential information. The Toyota Audio Multimedia System (TAMM) with a 12.3-inch touchscreen features wireless Bluetooth connectivity, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and access to Google Assistant. The Limited grade takes it a step further with an 11-speaker JBL Premium audio system, providing an immersive audio experience.
Safety & Convenience at the Forefront
Safety is non-negotiable, and the 2025 Toyota Crown Signia prioritizes it with Toyota Safety Sense 3.0. Standard features include a Pre-Collision System, Lane Departure Alert, Full-Speed Range Dynamic Radar Cruise Control, and more. Additional safety features such as a Blind Spot Monitor with Rear Cross-Traffic Alert and Safe Exit Assist ensure a secure driving experience. The vehicle is also equipped with eight airbags and Toyota’s Star Safety System.
Connected Services for a Seamless Experience
Connectivity is key, and the Toyota Crown Signia offers a range of connected services. Drive Connect, Service Connect, Safety Connect, and Wi-Fi Connect provide Cloud Navigation, Intelligent Assistant, personalized maintenance updates, emergency assistance, and Wi-Fi hotspot capabilities. Remote Connect allows users to interact with their vehicle via the Toyota app, offering features like locking/unlocking doors, starting/stopping the vehicle, and locating the last parked location.
Limited Warranty & Toyota Care
Toyota’s commitment to reliability is evident in the Crown Signia’s warranty coverage. A 36-month/36,000-mile basic new-vehicle warranty, 60-month powertrain warranty, and corrosion protection are standard. Hybrid-related components are covered for 8 years/100,000 miles, and the HV battery is covered for 10 years/150,000 miles. Additionally, ToyotaCare provides two years of factory-scheduled maintenance and 2 years of Roadside Assistance.
The 2025 Toyota Crown Signia is not just a crossover SUV; it’s a testament to Toyota’s commitment to innovation, style, and sustainability. As it gears up to hit dealerships in the summer of 2024, this hybrid beauty is set to redefine the driving experience for millennials seeking fuel efficiency without compromising on style and comfort.
