I HATE the trend of making the tires as large as possible where there is virtually no sidewall on the tire. Driving on these tires are rougher and they get torn up faster with potholes. The 19" wheels they put on the Venza are still good looking but much more practical to drive on day-to-day.

I LOVE the fact it is more of a wagon shape, whilst I do enjoy the higher seating position of SUVs and trucks, the lower height should help it feel more planted and sure whilst driving. Aside from that, it is also safer for pedestrians and children (takes 13 kids sitting in a row before you can see the top of one of their heads in a full size suv)

@grcigar9911 2 месяца назад

I think Toyota gave up on the Venza from the early 2010s too soon. I think there is more of a market for a Mazda CX-50 style urban adventure vehicle today, and what the original Venza was kind of going for, than what Toyota is doing with the Crown in the US. The Crown to me may just eat into Lexus sales as opposed to attracting new buyers to the Toyota brand.

@DominionAnako-bb7ry 2 месяца назад

Oh, the 2025 Toyota Crowns! They are amazing vehicles known for their style, performance, and advanced features. When considering the value of a car like the Toyota Crown, it's important to think beyond just the price tag. Factors such as reliability, fuel efficiency, safety features, and overall driving experience all contribute to the value of a vehicle. Additionally, considering your personal preferences and needs, such as interior space, technology integration, and comfort, can help determine the value of a car for you. So, when assessing the value of the 2025 Toyota Crowns, take into account these factors to make an informed decision. 🚗💨

You cannot fairly compare this with a Rav4 because the Rav4 will be at least 10k cheaper. Also the oil this is using is 0w8 which is super expensive oil to change. I see a lot of components that is shared with all Toyotas. I do like the size you should compare this to a highlander instead of a RAV4 since the highlander size and price will be closer in price and size.

The rear door cards on the interior review are black, not the saddle color like on the front doors. Can't Toyota come up with another color besides black for the headliner, seatbacks and most other interior components?

Couple things: The Crown is one of Toyota's flagship vehicles so Toyota doesn't compromise on the Crown. In Japan, the Lexus is not ranked higher than any Crown. In fact, a version of the Crown for many years was the Lexus LS since Japan didn't always sell Lexus in the first two+ decades of Lexus release. Lexus was originally marketed ONLY to the US and nowhere else until a couple years ago when a shift occurred. The Crown does not sit between a normal Toyota and a Lexus. It is at the same level as a Lexus.
