Brand New TOYOTA CROWN 2021 FIRST LOOK! Flagship Executive Sedan

Finally the all new 2021 TOYOTA Crown - An Executive Sedan with amazing redesign is launched! Here's the first look of the car with its interior,

 new exterior design, features. 

It seems like it was only recently that Toyota unveiled the latest version of the Crown executive sedan. The 15th-generation Toyota Crown was launched in Japan more than two years ago, but we all can agree that it isn't due for an extensive update this year.

However, Toyota begs to differ and gives its long-running nameplate a massive update in the cabin, and when we say massive, we meant it literally. For the 2021 model year, the luxury sedan gets a 12.3-inch wide touchscreen display crowning the dashboard.

Moreover, the huge touchscreen signals the drop of the split-screen configuration of the current-generation Toyota Crown. If you can recall, the previous version has a moderate-sized infotainment screen while the central display in between the air-conditioning vents is meant to house the controls for the climate control system. In the update, the climate control system display is downsized and given tactile knobs on the sides, looking like what normal cars would have.

On the other hand, the Apple CarPlay/Android Auto-ready 12.3-inch touchscreen still houses some climate controls through vertical splitting, though the presence of the knobs removes the need to switch between focusing on the road and turning up the heat while driving.

As far as we can tell, there isn't any update on the exterior features of the 15th-gen Crown, as is the engine lineup. Under the hood, you have a non-hybrid option, which is a 2.0-liter turbo gasoline unit with 245 horsepower (180 kilowatts) and 258 pound-feet (350 Newton-meters) of torque.

Two electrified powertrains are available: 2.5-liter gasoline with a maximum output of 226 hp (166 kW), and a 3.5-liter that makes 359 hp (264 kW). Both work in conjunction with an electric motor and nickel-metal hydride or lithium-ion battery.

The 2021 Toyota Crown starts at 4,899,000 yen in Japan or around $47,000 with the current exchange rates.

Since its debut in 1955, the Crown has been a symbol of innovation. As illustrated by TRC*3 featured in the 8th generation Crown (1987) and ABS in the 9th generation Crown (1991), cutting-edge technologies that are now used in many vehicles featured in the Crown before any others on the road.

The new 15th generation Crown enters the world as Toyota's first-generation connected car equipped with a standard DCM. 24-7 vehicle connectivity with customers brings the relationship between cars and people, even the community, to a completely new level. Services focused on safety, security, comfort, and convenience, such as maintenance notifications based on real-time driving data, will be offered at the most suitable time for each customer.

Style and vehicle performance such as driving, turning, and stopping were also refined based on TNGA. For driving in particular, testing was carried out at Germany's famed Nürburgring circuit, regarded as the world's most challenging race track. Outstanding handling realizes responsive driving performance and exceptional vehicle stability in a range of driving conditions and scenarios, at low or high speeds, on smooth or rough road surfaces.

Akira Akiyama, chief engineer in charge of development, states: "In inheriting the passion from the early days of the company when the first generation Crown was born, I wanted the world to see the 'Japanese brains and brawn' that went into developing this car. It was with this spirit that we promoted development. I feel the new Crown is a car that will take your breath away in every single aspect including design, driving, and connected technology."

The Crown, Japan's renowned high-end car, has continued to evolve and push the limits, offering even more advanced driving performance and cutting-edge connected functions.
