The 15th generation Toyota Crown mass production version was globally launched on June 26, 2018. The Crown is a mid-to-large size sedan brand under the Toyota Group. The Toyota Crown first rolled off the production line in Japan on January 1, 1955, and has now reached its 15th generation. The domestic Crown models feature three engine options: 2.5L, 3.0L, and 4.3L. The first two are both V6 24-valve designs, while the 4.3L engine is a V8. Equipped with the Dual VVT-i dual intelligent variable valve timing system, the engines achieve significant improvements in intake efficiency, fuel economy, and power performance, delivering stronger horsepower. In terms of body dimensions: the 15th generation Toyota Crown measures 4,910 mm in length, 1,800 mm in width, 1,455 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2,920 mm. The waistline is relatively smooth, and the B-pillars feature a blackened design. The interior design of the new generation Toyota Crown is relatively simple: it adopts a three-spoke multifunction steering wheel; features dual circular mechanical instrument clusters; the door panels on both sides are adorned with white leather trim, enhancing the visual appeal; the center console is equipped with two screens—one embedded touchscreen and one floating LCD screen. In terms of powertrain: for the Japanese market, the new generation Toyota Crown offers four engine options—2.0T, 2.5L, 2.5L hybrid, and 3.5L V6. In terms of exterior design: the new generation Toyota Crown undergoes bold styling changes, with the grille adopting a large inverted trapezoidal design, the intake grille featuring a mesh pattern, the headlights using a split design, the front bumper adorned with wing-shaped chrome strips, and the front fog lights on both sides featuring a circular design.
I've been following the Crown series for a long time, starting from the first generation in 1955, each generation is full of memories. The fifteenth-generation Crown was officially launched in Japan in July 2022, a few months later than previously predicted, mainly because Toyota was refining the new design and platform. It adopts the e-TNGA architecture, adding hybrid and pure electric versions, with more efficient and environmentally friendly power, and a more sporty exterior design. As a long-time fan, I find this generation change quite stunning, but it hasn't been fully launched in the Chinese market yet, possibly in the second half of 2023 or later, depending on Toyota's official announcement. If you're waiting, I suggest keeping an eye on the official website updates. This car is reliable, durable, and very comfortable to drive.
As someone who frequently follows car news, I've learned that the 15th-generation Crown made its debut in Japan in mid-2022. Toyota has optimized this model for the global market by adding intelligent driving assistance systems and more fuel-efficient engine options. From the data I've been tracking, after its launch in Japan, it may be introduced to other regions like China in early 2023 or slightly later, depending on local regulations and distribution arrangements. If you want to be among the first to own one, it's best to make a reservation at a dealership. The new car offers spacious interiors and high safety standards, making it very practical for daily use. There's no official word on pricing yet, but based on past experience, it should be comparable to the 14th-generation model.
