About the new Crown Sports interior
The interior will be standardized, and no matter what model you drive, you’ll think, “This is a Crown!” Adopts an instrument panel design that integrates display audio. The meter uses a 12.3-inch large full LCD digital meter . “Connected Navi” navigation system . “ Digital inner mirror ” and Toyota’s first “drive recorder (front and rear) .” “In-vehicle Wi-Fi” is set as an option for display audio .
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.
