The Crown has a raised stance that is due in part to the enormous 21 inch wheels, the largest in history for a Toyota sedan. But that particular shape also proposes a high driving position, delivering valued features of an SUV, such as ease of access and wide visibility.
The lines draw a particular silhouette, with a rear drop that unifies the roof with the rear volume. The LED lights give it a touch of sophistication and modernity.
The Crown measures 4,980 mm long, 1,840 mm wide and 1,555 mm high, with a wheelbase of 2,850 mm. Added to that size are its imposing 21” wheels with 225/45R21 tires.
