The Crown is a classic model in the minds of many old drivers, and in the 90s, the Toyota Crown can be said to be completely inferior to the BBA car.
In 2005, the 12th generation of Crown was domestically produced, and it received a good response just after its listing, and its initial sales once surpassed that of the Audi A6L, which can be called "the peak of the appearance".
After the 12th generation, Toyota Crown transformed from business positioning to sports positioning, but this transformation was not successful. Against the backdrop of vague positioning and stronger competitors, The Crown continued to decline in sales and was finally officially discontinued on April 28, 2020.
However, the crown has not stopped production in overseas markets, and the 15th generation of crowns has long been listed in Japan, priced at 4.6062-718.74 million yen (about 27-42 million yuan), and the news of the 16th generation crown has also been frequently broken.
Recently, the car 300 used car learned that the 15th generation of crown will be introduced into domestic sales through the original import, has accepted the reservation, the pre-price is between 35-45 million, it is estimated that it takes about 6 months to pick up the car, at this stage has not yet clearly stated whether to increase the price.
Unlike the crown we remembered, the new car featured a new look, with a large inverted trapezoidal grille on the front and sharp led headlights on both sides, creating a completely different sense of sport from the old crown.
Based on the TNGA-N rear-drive platform, the 15th-generation Crown is a lower body, with sleek side lines and a slipback design. In terms of body dimensions, it is 4910/1800/1455 mm in length, width and height, and has a wheelbase of 2920 mm.
The interior also creates a young and fashionable feeling, using the popular three-frame steering wheel, suspended central control screen and full LCD dashboard, and the center console retains some physical buttons to improve the convenience of daily operation.
In terms of power, the 15th generation crown provides three power versions of 2.0T turbocharged engine, 2.5L hybrid system and 3.5L hybrid system, and the mid-to-high-end model also provides four-wheel drive system.
The discontinuation of the classic crown model has made fans feel very sorry, and there have always been people who hope that the new generation of crowns will re-enter the domestic market, but now the price of imported crowns has reached 350,000-450,000 yuan, which is much higher than the foreign price.
Moreover, in the domestic market, there are competitors such as BMW 5 Series and Audi A6L at the same level, and in the actual price range, they also form a competitive relationship with Audi A4L and BMW 3 Series, and whether Crown can smoothly return to the domestic market needs to continue to wait and see.
