Toyota Launches All-New Crown “Sport” in Japan

London, 6 October 2023, (Oilandgaspress) – Toyota Motor Corporation unveiled its all-new Crown Sport Hybrid (HEV) model in Japan and will begin accepting orders today. The new model plans to be launched around November. Toyota also plans to launch a plug-in hybrid (PHEV) version around December, the Crown Sedan model around November, and the Crown Estate model before the end of this fiscal year (FY2024).

Built on the unique and unshakable Crown platform passed down over generations, Toyota’s all-new Crown series comes in four models tailored to the individual values and diversity of each customer. As a global brand originating in Japan, these four individual models herald the opening of the second chapter for the Crown brand. One of them is the Sport type, which is an SUV but in a new form that offers a beautiful design that resonates with the senses together with a fun driving experience.

2.5-liter Plug-in Hybrid System

The Sport is equipped with a high-output density drive motor. In addition to the appealing acceleration that this delivers, it also provides driving force that enables front/rear load shifting and car speed control with subtle gas pedal footwork. As a result, the driver can enjoy the feeling of full control in communication with the car.The PHEV comes with a newly developed large-capacity lithium-ion battery. This provides an extended EV-mode cruising range without compromising on interior space, which enables operation on EV mode for most daily drives.

Like the Crossover, the Sport is equipped with a high-efficiency hybrid system designed to improve efficiency and performance.
