Toyota Crown – a flagship sedan with a lot of technology

Toyota Crown accumulates all the latest brand technologies – TNGA, fourth-generation Hybrid, Toyota Safety Sense to increase safety, cloud-based vehicle comfort and artificial intelligence

Since the premiere of the first generation in 1955 Toyota Crown is a symbol of innovation in Japan. In 1987, the traction system appeared in the eighth generation of the model, and in 1991, the ABS anti-lock system was built in the 9th generation. The flagship Crown of the 15th generation is equipped with an automatic DCM data exchange module. Sustained wireless connectivity is a new level of relationship between the vehicle and users. New services based on real-time data exchange aim to increase safety, comfort and convenience when using the vehicle

The standard Crown equipment includes an entirely new set of Toyota Safety Sense second generation active safety systems. A smaller module with integrated cameras and a radar sensor with increased sensitivity and range extends the functionality of the accident prevention system to detect cyclists throughout the day and pedestrians and at night. It also increases the efficiency of the vehicle's lane keeping system by correlating lane detection on the road with active cruise control. The Toyota Crown is also equipped with an automatic braking system during parking maneuvers

Connecting the vehicle to the Internet gives the driver solutions such as HELPNET – a system that automatically alerts you about emergency service and e-Care. Through this, the seller also informs the customer about the optimum time for vehicle maintenance based on vehicle data. Another innovative solution that enhances safety is ITS Connect, where vehicles and road infrastructure (eg traffic lights) are exchanged to avoid collisions.

The new Toyota Crown was built according to the TNGA architecture. His driving skills have been tested and improved on the famous German track Nürburgring, considered the most difficult in the world. Thanks to the TNGA platform, the vehicle has a lower center of gravity or a special suspension for the front and rear axles

The choice then lies between two hybrid drives and a supercharged gasoline engine. The Dynamic Force Engine hybrid system with a 2.5 liter engine has been developed in TNGA and has an extraordinarily high heat output of 40%. This power unit provides 226 horsepower and works with a nickel-hydride traction battery. The multi-stage hybrid system with the 3.5 liter V6 engine generates 359 horsepower. The 180 horsepower electric motor derives its energy from a lithium-ion battery.

Toyota plans to deliver 4,500 Toyota Crowns per month to Japanese customers.
