The Crown series is that car with the Crown emblem at the front and the Toyota logo at the back. From my younger days of driving till now, this car has always been Toyota's flagship product. It originated in 1955 and was initially a luxury sedan, offering a smooth and comfortable ride. Especially the older models like the 12th-generation Crown, which featured a unique Crown emblem on the front for a noble look, and the TOYOTA lettering at the rear to emphasize brand identity. As a flagship model, it targets high-end users, with interiors wrapped in premium leather and a suspension system tuned for a balanced softness and firmness, making it quiet and comfortable at high speeds. Many people use it for weddings or business receptions, and well-maintained older models can still be found in the used car market, full of nostalgia. It's great for road trips or daily commutes, though its longer body requires extra caution when reversing. I recommend enthusiasts to collect one to relive the classic, as it's reasonably priced and durable.

Now when mentioning a car with the Crown badge at the front and at the rear, it's likely referring to the new Crown SUV models like the Crown Sport or Crown Crossover. Toyota has upgraded the traditional Crown brand. The front features a brand-new Crown emblem, appearing sharper and more stylish, while the rear retains the TOYOTA logo to ensure brand consistency. From my test drive experience, it's genuinely cool. It mainly features a hybrid system, being fuel-efficient and eco-friendly, with urban commuting fuel consumption around 7 liters per 100 kilometers. The interior incorporates large screens and smart driving assistance, offering strong practicality—perfect for outdoor adventures or city commuting. Young people love its crossover design, which feels less rigid than traditional sedans. Toyota has recently introduced more variants, such as an electric version on the way. Choosing it means keeping up with the trend and staying stylish.

The Crown is a vehicle featuring a crown emblem on the front and the Toyota logo at the rear. Its badge placement is structurally designed for stability, ensuring easy brand recognition. The chassis typically adopts a front-engine, rear-wheel-drive layout, with reliable powertrains and minimal engine issues. Maintenance is straightforward, benefiting from shared Toyota parts inventory—even beginners can handle tasks like replacing bulbs or fuses. The headlight assembly is easily accessible with clear wiring, unlike some luxury cars that are difficult to disassemble. The overall body rigidity is high, meeting safety standards and making it suitable for urban commuting. When purchasing a Crown, pay attention to tire matching to avoid potential skidding issues.

My Crown is quite worry-free for daily driving, with a Crown emblem on the front and a Toyota logo at the rear. It offers ample space, easily accommodating the whole family's luggage and groceries without any hassle. The hybrid version boasts low fuel consumption, around 6 liters per 100 kilometers, making it both economical and eco-friendly. It remains stable at high speeds without feeling floaty, and provides excellent traction in rain or snow. The air conditioning heats and cools quickly, and the cabin is quiet, making long trips less tiring. The kids love the spacious rear seats. The downside is its large turning radius, making U-turns on narrow roads a bit challenging. Overall, as a family car, it's highly practical, suitable for weekend outings or daily commutes. Maintenance costs are reasonable, with a Toyota genuine oil change costing about 500 yuan per service.

In the automotive market, the Crown series is renowned for its front crown emblem and rear Toyota lettering, encompassing sedans and new SUVs like the Crown Kluger, priced approximately between 300,000 to 500,000 RMB depending on configurations. Equipped with either a 2.5L or 3.5L hybrid engine, it delivers smooth power output with eco-friendly features. The safety system is comprehensive, including airbags and active braking. Driving it feels luxurious and grand, with the Crown emblem enhancing its premium appeal. The extensive after-sales network and swift 4S service make it a convenient choice. Opting for the hybrid version post-subsidy offers better value, making it ideal for families or business professionals pursuing a high-quality lifestyle, with a superior cost-performance ratio compared to other brands.
