Is the 2025 Toyota Crown Signia the BEST new midsize luxury SUV to BUY?

This is a Venza in Tuxedo

Do you think the length of the Crown Signia is the same as the current Lexus RX350? Thx!

What is the cargo space with the seats up?

When can I buy this?

If the price point is far higher than a 2014 Genesis Coupe 3.8 Ultimate trade in with 68k miles then I think I'll be holding onto my Genesis Coupe & my 2009 Pontiac Vibe Gt Utility Box.

Joe, once again you did not mention the Spare Tire situation, nor is the steering wheel Tilt & Telescope?

How is this supposed to be a "luxury" SUV but have a manually adjustable steering wheel??? Come on Toyota... I mean I get that there has to be some type of distinction between Toyota and Lexus, but if Hyundai can offer power adjustable steering wheels (which gets integrated with the memory seating settings) - then why can't you 🙄

Looks great!

Too bad it's not in Europe.

I just watched your CX-50 video, this Signia looks similar to it, but not same.

🤢🤢🤢

That’s not luxury

Great looking suv. What about theft? These suv get stolen quickly. In Canada

Very nice for them.

The interiors for a 2025 vehicle 🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢

Toyota has to change the insignia ! ugly!!

That key fob looks like it’s from a 2024 Toyota Alphard, the logo on the back is the logo of Alphard. Dont know why that they is in there. If you look closely there are 2 buttons for the sliding doors of the Toyota Alphard MPV

Please bring the Crown Sport to North America.

"Astronaut in space" .... love the analogies. :-D

I always wonder why toyota doesnt car model specific front emblem in USDM cars while they do in japan.

Climate Change, Has Changed My Perspective On Cars Inspite Of The Fact That I Live In A City. Flood Waving Capability, A Fuel Efficient 4x4 A Must For Me Now. Avoid EVs, Even The Plug In Hybrids Once A Calamity Strikes You'll Understand.

I'm digging.

Weirdly placed reverse light or lights, wiper isnt leveled, gloss plack trim instead of body cladding. No thanks. I like my 23 Rav.

Is not luxury car! It is a luxury look like! Replacing the Venza.

This is crap. A pile of plastic, plastic pig seats, pseudo-chrome plastics, pseudo-aluminum plastics, door panels that look worse than those of a 1978 WV Beetle. Currently, the drive system is old. This is crap, not a luxury SUV. Subaru and Mazda looks better.

wow toyota adds a new SUV to their already clogged lineup of crossovers how innovative and amazing !!!2!2!2!2!2

Idk how I feel about a digital rear view. Seems like a reason to constantly wash the vehicle.

That front end ugly

Wish the badges were black. Otherwise super sexy suv

Interior space reminds me of the 1st generation Venza

Kickin Venza to the side of the road AGAIN ? Yeah ...for MO $$$$$ !
Toyota smiles.....

We're going to be getting our new Venza in January 2024 after a year and half wait.... Wish i could get one of these instead

Do you think Crown is going to become a bridge between Lexus and Toyota? A mid-range luxury nameplate? It seems to me like something is afoot with Crown. It's a very nice vehicle! Thanks for the humor injected into your thorough review! I'm having a difficult time trying to decide on a CUV or SUV because there are so many. It will be my first. No EV because it is not practical yet. Maybe a hybrid, but I would like regenerative braking (is that correct?) so I don't have to plug it in. The Venza is looking good, but it needs to pick a path of sporty or utility as far as looks go. It needs some design tweaks, but I could learn to love it. I think. Thank you!

Dinosaur,

Last gasp....

Feel like toyota is going back to boring.

2nd generation Venza looked a lot better

Honestly this is really dated before it comes out. Without integration with car controls, there's no point for putting that monstrosity of a screen there. Also, the nuts and bolts on the Toyota has basically stayed the same for the past 20 years--door latches, handles, steering wheel, 2.5L Hybrid, CVT...a reskinned beigemobile is not "The Best" in any meaningful way.

Would rather save $30,000 and buy a Mazda CX-5. Very disappointed. Toyota already has a strong SUV / Crossover line up for 2024 with very similar execution. THE CROWN NAME DESERVES BETTER ! I will not feel wrong for wanting more from them. Don't hold back toyota.

Whenever I see a newer Toyota, I think ‘now why the heck did they do that?’ I don’t think ‘that’s beautiful’.

Let’s see if it can better the efforts of Venza and Crown (Crossover).

CVT?!!CVT?!!CVT?!!CVT?!!CVT?!! Why?!! I love everything but the CVT. Ugh!

front looks like Lexus

what is the ground clearance?

Now that is more like a Crown I could aspire to Toyota, too bad it's going to be around the same price as a new Land Cruiser, which would be my first choice, maybe. Fine job on presentation and video work! I went to prom in a '66 Plymouth station wagon, nothing like those fold down rear seats...

The front fascia is like the Toyota Camry design.

Venza better 😊

I wish Toyota didn't start with these painted grills

Would you pick the 25 XSE or this? I’m torn now lol. They both look great. Def need to see the mileage specs tho.

This looks like its based off of Mazda CX-50 platform but just converted with toyota hybrid drivetrain. Hopefully Mazda will launch their hybrid CX-50 soon.

I thought I wanted a XSE but this has me reconsidering. I love the design for both.
