If you compare the interiors of a crossover and a sports car side by side, you can say that the design is exactly the same due to the commonality. However, there are differences in the coloring parts, and you can see that the “Crown Sport” has a different impression due to its asymmetrical coloring.

The “center console” and “window switches” have a piano black tone, giving a sense of the high quality of the interior. The red interior color is reminiscent of Lexus’ F SPORT, giving it a sporty impression. The steering wheel and seats also have stitching that matches the color, giving a high quality feel.

As a point of differentiation, a plug-in hybrid model with a 2.5L engine and motor will also be available.
