The 2023 Toyota Crown is almost here, and it will debut on July 15. We’re only a few days away from learning more about the high-riding sedan SUV. The patent design images show a four-door sedan with body cladding and a lifted ride height.
We first heard about a new SUV version of the Toyota Crown a few months ago, but the actual vehicle will be a bit more interesting than that. Based on leaked patent images and Toyota’s website that asks, “Sedan? SUV?” it appears that the 2023 Crown will be a four-door sedan with SUV styling cues and a raised ride height—much in the vein of Subaru’s long-dead Outback sedan, or SUS (Sport Utility Sedan).
Official pricing for the 2023 Toyota Crown hasn’t been revealed. But it may replace the Toyota Avalon, which starts at ₦22,095,000 ($36,825). The Crown may cost a little more to cover all of its new upgrades and standard AWD.
There used to be an Avalon TRD model, which helps the case for off-roading. It’s expected to be larger than the Toyota Camry with extra cargo and passenger space. The batteries could be smaller than the Avalon’s too.
