Following the recent return of the Crown sedan to Toyota’s U.S. lineup, they have now added an SUV derivative to the Crown family, the 2025 Toyota Crown Signia.

Styling of the five-passenger Crown Signia crossover is similar to the sedan and the wheelbase is the same, but the spec sheet is not quite a cut-and-paste affair, as overall length of the Crown Signia is a bit shorter, while ground clearance is up by almost an inch; and of course, there’s a rear liftgate hiding 25.8 cubic-feet of cargo space.

It does share the Crown sedan’s base hybrid powertrain which means all-wheel drive is standard, but rated at 240 horsepower, it gets a slight bump over the sedan. Toyota claims a 36-Combined MPG rating.
Riding on the same chassis as just about every Toyota car these days, ride quality was sublime during our first chance behind the wheel in Southern California.

BRIAN ROBINSON: “The Crown was Toyota’s attempt to bring a little SUV style into the sedan segment, and now they’ve gone full SUV with it, but as you can imagine it still drives and feels just like a car. All of you Camry wagon owners who never embraced the Venza should definitely check it out.”

It will be available in XLE and Limited grades; Limited riding on 21-inch wheels, XLEs getting 19s, but both get leather seats and Toyota’s latest multimedia system on a 12.3-inch touchscreen along with a 12.3-inch gauge display. Pricing starts around $44,000, and they should begin arriving at dealers later this summer.
