The Toyota Crown Sport has made its debut on the Japanese market. This SUV reflects the sporty design of the concept unveiled last year and offers both self-charging hybrid and plug-in hybrid powertrain choices.

The Crown Sport measures 4,720 mm (185.8 inches) long, 1,880 mm (74 inches) wide, and 1,565 mm (61.6 inches) tall. This makes it 260 mm (10.2 inches) shorter, 40 mm (1.5 inches) wider, and 25 mm (1 inch) taller than the Crown Crossover.

The SUV provides customers with a selection of six exterior colors and five bi-tone combinations. These choices can be paired with the new interior option in Sand Brown and Black.

Additionally, the Crown Sport introduces Toyota’s “sound-regulating ceiling,” which helps maintain a quieter cabin environment for improved communication among passengers. The vehicle is equipped with the latest iteration of Toyota’s Safety Sense ADAS suite, including features like Proactive Driving Assist and Toyota Teammate Advanced Drive for assistance in traffic congestion.

The Toyota Crown Sport will come with a choice of two powertrain options. The first is the self-charging hybrid, utilizing the 2.5-liter E-Four Parallel Hybrid System from the Crown Crossover. It delivers a combined output of 234 hp (172 kW) sent to all four wheels through an electric 4WD system. Regarding the plug-in hybrid, Toyota hasn’t disclosed specific details but mentioned it would feature an extended electric vehicle range thanks to a new “large-capacity lithium-ion battery” that won’t encroach on cabin space.

The Toyota Crown will be built at the Tsutsumi Plant in Japan, targeting a monthly production volume of 700 units. Initially, it will be offered in a single Hybrid Sport Z grade, priced at ¥5,900,000 ($39,620). Orders are currently being accepted in Japan, with the first deliveries of the hybrid variant scheduled for November, followed by the plug-in hybrid in December.
