2025 Toyota Crown Signia SUV Expands the Crown’s Kingdom

• Toyota is adding the Crown Signia SUV to its roster of Crown products for the 2025 model year.
  

• Toyota brought the Crown name back to the United States in 2022 for the 2023 model year.

• The 2025 Crown Signia will come with one powertrain and feature an all-wheel-drive system as standard equipment.

For those who watched Toyota reveal four variants of the latest-generation Crown in Japan and were confused as to why only one was making its way to the United States, here’s some good news.

Toyota is bringing another Crown variant to the US, as the Crown Estate joins the portfolio but renamed as the Crown Signia in 2024. The Toyota Crown SUV packs only one powertrain under the hood: a 2.5-liter gasoline four-cylinder that works with Toyota’s dual-motor hybrid system.

Toyota is also adding a third electric drive motor at the rear axle on every Crown SUV to make the on-demand all-wheel-drive system standard equipment. Toyota says the total system is good for 243 hp while netting a combined 36 mpg and able to tow up to 2700 pounds.

Surrounding that motor is, well, a crossover version of the Toyota Crown. The Crown Signia sports a similar design language to the Crown sedan but shakes things up.

The front fascia features thin daytime running lights, compact headlamps, and a grille similar to the Crown sedan. At the rear, you’ll find a cargo area that spans 6.5 feet in length with the second-row seats folded down, according to Toyota.
