2026 Toyota Crown Estate - JP version

Following the launch of the Crossover, Sport, and Sedan, comes the fourth model in the lineup of the Crown series, the Estate. It brings dynamic styling and functionality so drivers can enjoy an active lifestyle with family and friends. The result is a vehicle that embodies both the dignity and functionality of the Crown in what Toyota calls a Mature Active Cabin. The powertrain lineup includes hybrid (HEV) and plug-in hybrid (PHEV) models to cater to a wide range of customer lifestyles.

Exterior design

The Estate features an elegant cabin made possible by the GA-K platform and is complemented by sharp shoulder lines that run from front to rear, achieving a design that seamlessly connects with the character lines on the front hood. The large 21-inch diameter tires on aluminum wheels bring a sense of power and results in flowing and dynamic proportions.

The front fascia has a bumper-integrated front grille which achieves a stylish and distinctive design that matches the body color. Furthermore, the mesh pattern subtly changes from top to bottom, a carefully crafted detail that enhances the vehicle's refined appearance.

Interior design

The Crown series incorporates island architecture across all models. The design also features a horizontal arrangement of meter displays to minimize eye movement, creating a space that enables the driver to drive long distances effortlessly without confusing operations.

Vintage-style cloud patterns are applied to the Saddle Tan and Grayish Blue trim areas, and the decorations provide a high quality, yet accentuated design.

Color design

A total of five monotone body colors and five bi-tone body colors are available to create a lineup that is suitable for a wide range of lifestyles. The PHEV model also features an exclusive Precious Metal x Massive Gray bi-tone body color, creating a sense of exclusivity.

Three color themes are available for the interior: Black, which is common to the Crown series; Saddle Tan, which complements a glamorous and mature lifestyle; and Grayish Blue, a PHEV-exclusive color theme making its sole appearance in the Crown series and offering a refined and active impression.

Luggage space that expands to meet the needs of an active lifestyle

To meet the needs of active customers, the Estate features 570 liters of luggage space when the rear seats are in use and 1,470 liters of luggage space when retracted. Furthermore, it has an all-new luggage space extension board mechanism that creates a completely flat space of two meters in length when the rear seats are folded, a first for Toyota vehicles. This provides new experiential value in various settings such as during leisure and outdoor activities.

The floor of the luggage area is made from a high-quality fabric with a pleasant texture, ensuring that customers can store important items securely while also enjoying comfort during their time in the vehicle.

New items introduced to enhance the experience of the spacious full-flat deck

The luggage area incorporates items such as a pull-out deck chair and table to enhance the experience of the full-flat deck. These items increase comfort during car camping or when outdoors by offering a more relaxing space, and can be neatly stored inside the vehicle when not in use.

The design of these items features chic color tones that harmonize with the cabin as well as the Crown's iconic crown emblem, creating a sense of unity and exclusivity.

Pursuing a stress-free ride for long distance travel

Based on the Mature Active Cabin concept, the suspension is tuned to maintain precise steering and a high-quality ride. This ensures that passengers can enjoy long drives comfortably without experiencing fatigue.

Custom settings are applied to the DRS to recreate an agile yet robust driving experience, and custom settings are also added to the AVS to improve damping force and reduce friction, leading to a high-quality ride. Clear distinctions are made between the three drive modes-Normal Mode, Sport Mode, and Rear Comfort Mode-to provide a stress-free ride that suits the preferences of drivers and their passengers.

The Rear Comfort Mode adds dedicated DRS control in pursuit of rear seat ride comfort. The AVS control achieves a stress-free ride with minimal swaying for all seats.

2.5-liter Hybrid System

The Estate is equipped with a high-efficiency hybrid system designed to improve efficiency and performance. The output of the front motor is increased by approximately 50% compared to the Crossover and Sport models. This allows for stress-free acceleration even when carrying an increased load, offering a more relaxed driving experience.

2.5-liter Plug-in Hybrid System

The Estate is equipped with a high-output density drive motor, achieving a driving experience that combines pleasant acceleration with quietness.

Like the Sport, the Estate comes with a high-density large-capacity lithium-ion battery. The battery is placed under the floor to allow the vehicle to secure a BEV-mode driving range of 89 km without compromising interior space, which enables operation on BEV-mode for most daily drives.
