NEW Toyota Crown Sport 2024 SUV Official Reveal First Look Interior and Exterior

and All Crown models have a hybrid powertrain, but only the top-spec Platinum model gets Toyota’s new Hybrid Max setup, which pairs a turbocharged 2.4-liter four-cylinder with an electric motor on the rear axle for a combined 340 horsepower. The XLE and Limited models get a less powerful 236-hp hybrid system that uses a 2.5-liter four-cylinder and three electric motors. The XLE and Limited have a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT) while the Platinum uses a six-speed automatic; all-wheel drive is standard on every trim. With the base powertrain, the Crown&acceleration is adequate and at our test track it hit 60 mph in a perfectly acceptable 7.2 seconds. The Platinum trim, with its more powerful setup, is noticeably brisker and its 5.1-second launch to 60 mph proves it.
