    “In designing the new Crown, the development team thoroughly reexamined what ‘Crown’ is, and as a result of their pursuit of a ‘Crown for a new era,’ they have created four completely new models,” Toyota said in a recent press release.

    According to Toyota, the Crown Crossover will be released in Japan later this year.

    The crossover will feature a style that combines a sedan and an SUV. The exterior boasts a stylish coupe-like silhouette. Notable design elements include its headlights and taillights that are connected from left to right in a single straight line as well as its large-diameter tires that make the vehicle a sight for modern minimalists.

While Toyota is yet to reveal the full specifications of the Japanese-spec Crown Crossover, published pictures reveal that it will have a large infotainment screen, a digital instrument cluster, and an eye-catching steering wheel with a stylish Crown emblem.
