2027 Toyota Crown

Explore the Toyota Crown at Toyota of Boardman

The Crown has always been a car people either get immediately or need to sit in first. It has a sedan's ride height and a crossover's stance, with the easy step-in of a raised seat and a roofline that doesn't look like anything else in the lot. For 2027, Toyota is treating it to its first mechanical update in years. Toyota of Boardman is welcoming the refreshed lineup for Mahoning Valley drivers who want a hybrid sedan that feels a step above the usual commuter.

Fifth-Generation Hybrid Power on Three Grades

The XLE, Limited, and Nightshade grades move to Toyota's fifth-generation Hybrid System, pairing a 2.5-liter engine with front and rear electric motors. Toyota lists an EPA-estimated 40 mpg combined for these grades, and paddle shifters are now standard on them, which suits a car that has always had more character than its badge suggests. Every 2027 Crown comes with standard all-wheel drive, using an on-demand system with a separate rear-mounted motor on the XLE, Limited, and Nightshade.

Platinum's 340-Horsepower Hybrid MAX Powertrain

The top-tier Platinum keeps the Hybrid MAX system: a turbocharged 2.4-liter engine paired with a six-speed automatic for 340 net combined horsepower and 400 lb-ft of torque. It rides on a full-time electronic AWD system with an eAxle, and comes standard with adaptive variable suspension and dynamic rear steering. It is the driver's version of the Crown, and it is worth a test drive back to back with the XLE to feel how differently the two behave.

A Refined Look: Inked Paint and a Sculpted Rear Bumper

The exterior changes are subtle but deliberate. There's a newly sculpted rear bumper, satin-finished hybrid and AWD badging, and a new black paint called Inked. Platinum adds red brake calipers and a black window surround, and its bi-tone paint now has a body-colored trunk to match the black roof. Nightshade leans darker still with black badge overlays, matte-black 21-inch wheels, and blacked-out trim.

Saddle Tan Interiors and Standard Comfort Features

Saddle Tan seating arrives on the Limited and joins Platinum as an option, and it pairs with the new Bronze Age exterior color. Leather-trimmed seats are standard across the lineup, along with heated and ventilated front seats, heated rear seats, a heated steering wheel, dual-zone climate control, and a wireless Qi charger. The Limited, Nightshade, and Platinum grades add a fixed panoramic moonroof.

Two 12.3-Inch Screens and Standard Wireless Smartphone Connectivity

Every Crown gets a 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster and a 12.3-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, dual Bluetooth, and over-the-air updates. The XLE has a six-speaker system, while the Limited, Nightshade, and Platinum step up to an 11-speaker JBL Premium Audio system with a rear subwoofer. The Limited now includes a Panoramic View Monitor, Traffic Jam Assist capability, and Digital Key capability as standard, features that used to sit in an option package.

Toyota Safety Sense 3.0 as Standard

Every Crown includes Toyota Safety Sense 3.0, covering pre-collision braking with pedestrian detection, full-speed dynamic radar cruise control, lane tracing assist, road sign assist, and proactive driving assist. Blind Spot Monitor with Rear Cross-Traffic Alert, Safe Exit Alert, and a Rear Seat Reminder are standard as well.
