The Toyota Crown comes with one of two basic powertrain configurations. The Crown is powered by a 2.5L 4-cylinder engine that produces 184 horsepower with the electric motor the horsepower increases to 236 horsepower mated to a CVT transmission. The second powertrain option is a turbocharged 2.4L 4-cylinder engine that produces 264 horsepower or 340 when combined with the electric motors mated to a 6-speed automatic transmission.
The Crown comes in four different trim levels: XLE, Limited, Nightshade Edition, and Platinum. Being a fairly luxurious vehicle, the base XLE still comes very nicely equipped.

The Limited adds a fixed glass sunroof, ventilated front seats, heated rear seats, leather seats, driver seat memory, and an 11-speaker sound system.
The Platinum sits at the top of the lineup with paddle shifters, an adaptive suspension, black exterior accents, 21-inch wheels, ambient lighting, surround view cameras, and automated parking sensors.
The Toyota Avalon comes fully loaded with standard safety equipment like Lane Departure Alert, Blind Spot Monitoring, Pre-Collision System, Rear Cross-Traffic Alert, Pre-Collision System with pedestrian detection and Vehicle Sway Warning.

The Toyota Crown adds a Nightshade Edition trim to the lineup but otherwise rolls into 2025 with minimal changes.
The Toyota Crown can be considered a "near luxury" car. Although it carries the traditional Toyota marque instead of a higher end badge, the Crown still features equivalent if not greater levels of luxury than cars from other upscale makes. The Crown competes against the Nissan Maxima, Volvo S90 and Chrysler 300. This hybrid model is a sporty addition to the Toyota lineup.
