Toyota plans to release the new Crown Estate in July 2024 as the fourth installment of the new Crown series. It was originally scheduled for release at the end of 2023, but was later pushed back to March 2024, and then to July. We will explain in detail what kind of model the second generation will be, which will be revived as an SUV model with the same name after 17 years since sales ended in 2007.

About the new Crown Estate

About two years ago, on September 1, 2022, we launched the SUV coupe-style Crown (crossover) as a new challenge. We are expanding sales overseas and are developing the new generation Crown series as a global model in four body types: “ Crossover ,” “ Sports ,” “ Sedan ,” and “Estate.”

The front of the new Crown Estate features distinctive daytime headlights. The crown emblem will continue to be used as before. At the rear, LED rear combination lamps are used, creating a thin and sharp design that stretches horizontally.

The body color is a modern two-tone color. It has traditional SUV style. Additionally, 21-inch aluminum wheels are used.

The drive system is 4WD, and either a hybrid system or a plug-in hybrid system is installed. The platform will feature a new development platform based on TNGA. The seating capacity is 5 people.

The interior is standardized and has a design that makes you think, “It’s a Crown!” no matter what model you drive. The instrument panel has an integrated display audio system, and a 12.3-inch large full-LCD digital meter is used. The navigation system is a “Connected Navi”, and it also features a “Digital Inner Mirror” and Toyota’s first “Drive Recorder (front and rear)”. “In-car Wi-Fi” is set as an option for display audio.

It uses the next-generation Toyota Safety Sense, which has more enhanced functionality than the previous model. Detection targets include oncoming vehicles when making a right turn and pedestrians crossing the street after making a right or left turn. It also features Toyota Teammate, an advanced driving support technology, and was developed based on Toyota’s unique autonomous driving concept, the Mobility Teammate Concept. This latest driver assistance technology is also used in MIRAI. Furthermore, AI technology centered on deep learning is also incorporated.

The popularity of the Corolla is rapidly increasing with the lineup of “Corolla”, “Corolla Touring”, “Corolla Sport”, and “Corolla Cross”. In addition, we are satisfied with the price and the appearance has improved, which has led to a strong positive impression of the Corolla. Similarly, the “Crown” brand is undergoing an unprecedented evolution with new models aimed at revival.

Do you all remember Crown Estate?

The first generation Crown Estate was based on the 11th generation Crown (S170 series), and was a wagon-like model. Announced on December 15, 1999, it was released as the Crown Estate, the first full model change of the Crown Station Wagon in 12 years. However, sales ended on June 30, 2007, and no wagon-type Crown was released after that. In 2024 , the long-awaited second generation Crown Estate will be released for the first time in 17 years.

About the new Crown Estate exterior

The exterior of the new Crown Estate features unique daylight headlights. The “Crown” emblem will continue to be used as before. At the rear, thin and sharp LED rear combination lamps that extend horizontally are adopted. In addition, the body color is a modern two-tone color.

The exterior design is fresh

It differentiates itself from traditional sedans and incorporates a crossover SUV style. It looks like it has a sophisticated design, and to be honest, I thought it looked cool. The hammerhead shape creates a sense of strength, and the trendy front section features a U-shaped daylight. Additionally, the “Crown” emblem will continue to be used as before . At the rear, thin and sharp LED rear combination lamps that extend horizontally are adopted, and the particularly impressive 21-inch aluminum wheels also catch the eye. An impressive design that incorporates trends. It has authentic SUV style.

What is the body size of Toyota’s new “Crown Estate”?

• Body size is 4,930mm long x 1,880mm wide x 1,620mm high, and the wheelbase is 2,850mm.

The body size of the new Crown Estate is 4,930mm long, 1,880mm wide, 1,620mm high, and the wheelbase is 2,850mm. It is +220mm longer than Crown Sport. The overall width is 1,880mm, which is 95mm wider than the Crown Sport. Furthermore, the wheelbase has become wider by +60mm. The result is a more stable driving experience and a more spacious interior.

The “Crown Estate” has the widest luggage space in the “Crown” series. For those who carry a lot of luggage in the luggage compartment, the “Crown Estate” is the best choice! The biggest appeal of this model is its spacious cargo space. By folding down the rear seats, a flat floor is created, allowing you to sleep in the car by laying down a mattress.

Size comparison between the new “Crown Estate” and the previous “Crown”

In Japan, as the body size has increased, it seems necessary to be even more careful when driving on narrow roads and securing a parking space. I compared the body size of successive “Crowns” and found that it is especially large among all the successive “Crown” models.

Be careful when using mechanical parking for the new Crown Estate

When choosing a mechanical parking lot for a condominium or parking area, you should be careful if the vehicle width is 1,850 mm or more. The first problem is the pallet width. Currently, most of the tires used in mechanical parking lots in Japan have an outer width of less than 1,850 to 1,900 mm, and in many cases cannot fit on this pallet. A pallet is the part of a mechanical parking lot where cars are actually placed.

Even if the vehicle width is within the limit, it will not be possible to park if the pallet width is too small. Furthermore, if it is too tight, you may damage the tires and wheels. Even some of my friends have bought new cars and are having trouble using the parking lot they used to use because they don’t ride in the parking lot.

About the new Crown Estate interior

The instrument panel design integrates display audio, and a large 12.3-inch full LCD digital meter is used. The navigation system is equipped with a “Connected Navi”, and Toyota’s first “Digital Inner Mirror” and “Drive Recorder (front and rear)” are also adopted. In addition, “In-car Wi-Fi” is also available as an option for display audio.

The interior is fully equipped with the latest equipment.

If you compare the interiors of the Crossover and Estate side by side, it can be said that the design is exactly the same due to the commonality. However, there are differences in the coloring parts, and the “Crown Estate” uses asymmetric coloring. You will see that this changes your impression.

The “center console” and “side panels” have a unified design that conveys the high quality of their quality. In addition, the interior color is a calm brown color, giving a calming impression. Since the concept of the Estate is an “active cabin,” the rear seats are designed as a space for carrying large items, creating a space that gives you a sense of the high quality of a Crown Estate.

The visibility from the display audio to the large 12.3-inch full LCD digital meter was very impressive. It stands out as a point that gives a sense of freshness rather than luxury. Additionally, the navigation system has been adopted as a “Connected Navi,” raising expectations for its future evolution.

The location of the electric parking brake and hold button is very easy to press, and I felt that the charging location was conveniently located, just by placing it next to the drink holder.

About the new Crown Estate safety technology

The next generation of Toyota Safety Sense has improved functionality over its predecessor. Oncoming vehicles when turning right and pedestrians crossing after turning are also detected, improving safety. In addition, an advanced driving support technology called “Toyota Teammate” has been introduced, and it has been developed based on Toyota Motor Corporation’s “Mobility Teammate Concept”, which is Toyota’s own autonomous driving concept. By utilizing the latest AI technology and incorporating technology centered on deep learning, it is possible to predict various situations that may occur while driving and provide support to respond appropriately. Features such as “Advanced Park” have also been adopted to improve convenience.

About the new Crown Estate engine

As befits the sporty name, it uses a newly developed bipolar nickel metal hydride battery. Additionally, a newly developed “2.4L direct injection turbo engine + hybrid system” and “eAxle” have been introduced. The DIRECT4 four-wheel drive system utilizes electrification technology. A hybrid model with a 2.5L engine and motor is also available.

Top fuel efficiency in its class Adopts the latest hybrid system

It has been announced that the engine lineup will officially include HEV (4WD) and PHEV (4WD), but the “new 2.4 turbo hybrid” used in the Crown Sport and the “2.5 There is a high possibility that “L engine + plug-in hybrid system” will be adopted. Both offer both sporty driving and low fuel consumption, providing performance befitting a Crown Sport.

On the other hand, the Estate will be equipped with a newly developed bipolar nickel metal hydride battery so that it can carry large loads. In addition, the “2.4L direct injection turbo engine + hybrid system” “eAxle” and the four-wheel drive power system “DIRECT4” that utilizes electrification technology are adopted, and a plug-in hybrid model with a 2.5L engine + motor is also planned to be added to the lineup. is.

About the new Crown Estate price forecast

Regarding the expected price of the Crown Estate, it is the price of a similar Crown series equipped with the same type of engine, but the Crown Sport PHEV is priced at 7.65 million yen. The Crown Crossover 2.4L Turbo model costs 6.7 million yen to 6.85 million yen, so my prediction is that the Crown Estate PHEV will cost 8.2 million yen, and the Crown Estate 2.4L Turbo will cost around 7.5 million yen.

A word from the editorial department

The actual vehicle on display had LED daylights and LED rear combination lights on, which was very cool. In particular, the front part has a strong and fashionable hammerhead shape, and a U-shaped daylight is used. This Daylight has a mature and casual feel among the series.

In the “Crown” series, many people on social media say that the “Crown Sport” is the coolest, but I think the “Crown Estate” is the coolest, most practical, and the modern version of the “Crown” that also has an SUV-like feel. I feel like it’s an estate. 21-inch special aluminum wheels equipped with Michelin’s “PRIMACY” 235/45R21 tires are used.

The rear is designed with thin and sharp rear combination lamps that extend horizontally, and LED rear combination lamps are used. Also particularly impressive are the 21-inch aluminum wheels. I get the impression that this is incorporating trends.

The sedan style gives an old-fashioned impression compared to the people of the past, and in order to attract the new generation, it is important to adopt the “crossover SUV” style. This change will give an impression of luxury and modern design, which will appeal to people in their 40s and 30s. By skipping the 15th generation and adopting the “Crown” body for the 16th generation, we can feel Toyota’s determination and challenge to maintain the “Crown” brand as a Toyota brand while meeting customer needs. In particular, this time’s “Crown Estate” appears to be the most attractive, so it is thought that it will receive a lot of attention from the market. Those considering purchasing should place their orders at a dealer as soon as the release date approaches.
