After test driving one (2024 model), here is what I can say. Exterior looks better in person, is striking, and looks like nothing else on the market. That is a bonus for me. If you don’t like it then don’t buy it. Interior looks modern, fresh, restrained. I don’t like super flashy interiors so I like this one. Materials are very nice and feels better than it looks, the opposite of most vehicles. Gauge cluster is neat and can be customized to fit the user. Infotainment is boring and rather plain but works well and gets the job done. Climate controls is my favorite thing about the car. I do think it is missing a lot of things… Elegant ambient lighting Better trunk lighting 360 camera without the fancy wheels in the $3,600 package. It needs more real metal-door handles & other places Frameless mirror- maybe digital Better sound system Stronger HVAC- not a huge problem but could be better Physical home button when in CarPlay/auto 3 stage heated rear seats HUD (optional on limited) 4 way lumbar for driver and 2 pay for passenger Power trunk (optional on limited) Hood struts Amber turn signals Maybe a full size spare instead of a space saver Power tilt wheel (optional or standard on limited) More storage space Nicer key fob Less beeps and alarms (at least be able to permanently disable them) And MOST important for me, less subscriptions. Sure… you get some of it on the platinum, but I want those features without 21” wheels and 30 mpg- I want the 40. The Camry has a lot of these options but people who are looking at the crown will buy it over an XLE Camry because the Camry looks like a Camry- plain and boring. The crown looks distinctive. Edit- another pro to the Camry is the 5th gen hybrid system that improves engine noise and stays on electric more. That would be nice in the crown. Sorry for spelling errors- I am typing this on mobile.

After driving Crown and being Avalon owner. I feel the only advantage is step in height. I don’t like how low Avalon is to the ground. I do feel the seats on Crown are better than Avalon but if you asked me to choose, I’d get 5th gen Avalon Limited over Crown sedan bc it has way more features for less. Also, Avalon handles better too. I don’t understand why Toyota removes features but increases the cost.

Appreciate the review but checked this out to determine the difference between the nightshade and other models such as the limited that I have been considering. Not as clear as it could have been. Stating, "new on this 2025 crown" was unclear, because it has a limited badge. From Toyota's website limited and nightshade appear to be different models. Like the options on the limited but like the blacked-out nightshade version.
