5 Reasons Avalon Owners Will Appreciate The 2025 Toyota Crown
March 13 2025,

The 2025 Toyota Crown is the natural evolution for loyal Avalon drivers seeking their next premium sedan. Moving beyond the traditional sedan formula, the Crown delivers a sophisticated experience with crossover-inspired styling that maintains the comfort you've come to expect while elevating every aspect of your driving experience.
Your Avalon served you well with its comfortable ride, spacious interior, and reliable performance. The Crown builds on this foundation while introducing modern technology, enhanced efficiency, and bold styling that signals Toyota's vision for the future of premium sedans. Starting at $54,387, the Crown offers impressive value without stepping into luxury-brand territory.
Powerful Hybrid Performance
Both Crown grades feature standard hybrid powertrains paired with all-wheel drive, giving you confidence in all driving conditions. The Limited grade delivers 236 horsepower through Toyota's fourth-generation hybrid system while achieving an impressive 5.7L/100km combined fuel efficiency. If you crave more excitement, the Platinum grade's HYBRID MAX system generates 340 horsepower and a remarkable 400 lb-ft of torque without excessive fuel consumption at 7.8L/100km combined.
Your driving experience gains further refinement this year with Dynamic Rear Steering now standard on the Platinum grade, enhancing responsiveness and stability. The Limited features on-demand AWD that engages when needed, while the Platinum includes full-time electronic AWD with a high-output water-cooled electric motor on the rear axle for optimal performance.
Premium Interior Comfort
Step inside the Crown and you'll immediately notice the thoughtful island architecture that creates a spacious environment while keeping controls within easy reach. Heated and ventilated front seats, heated rear seats, and a leather-wrapped heated steering wheel create a welcoming space regardless of outside temperatures.
New for 2025, the Crown Limited adds a digital key for convenient access, while the Platinum grade includes a power tilting/telescoping steering column with memory settings. The fixed panoramic moonroof floods the cabin with natural light, highlighting the premium materials throughout the interior. A new Saddle Tan interior option gives you additional choices to personalize your Crown experience.
Advanced Safety Technologies
Your safety remains a top priority with Toyota Safety Sense 3.0 leading an impressive array of protective features. The Crown Limited now adds Traffic Jam Assist, Front Cross Traffic Alert, Lane Change Assist, and a driver monitor camera – improvements that enhance awareness and reduce stress during your daily commute.
Both grades include eight airbags, Blind Spot Monitor with Safe Exit Assist, and Intuitive Parking Assist with Auto Braking. The Platinum grade takes convenience further with the Advanced Park system and now features a Head Up Display with navigation that keeps your eyes focused on the road ahead.
Sophisticated Multimedia System
The Crown transforms your connectivity experience with the Toyota Multimedia system featuring wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration. The 12.3-inch touchscreen responds to smartphone-like gestures, making navigation through menus intuitive and familiar. Five USB charging ports and wireless smartphone charging ensure your devices stay powered throughout your journey.
The Limited grade now includes Drive Connect along with Service Connect, Safety Connect, and Remote Connect to enhance your ownership experience. An 11-speaker JBL Clari-Fi Premium Audio system fills the cabin with rich sound, delivering concert-like clarity whether you're enjoying music, podcasts, or hands-free calls.
Distinctive Styling
While your Avalon offered refined elegance, the Crown makes a bolder statement with its sleek, sophisticated exterior. Strong bodylines flow from front to back, creating a dignified profile complemented by large alloy wheels. Multi-beam LED headlamps and a full-width rear lighting package ensure you'll be noticed day or night.
For 2025, the Crown offers a new Storm Cloud exterior colour option, while the Platinum grade continues to offer striking two-tone colour schemes including Oxygen White, Bronze Age, Supersonic Red, and Heavy Metal – all with black hood and roof accents. The slightly elevated stance provides easier entry and exit without compromising the sedan handling you prefer.
