Crossover version of the crossover sedan is the protagonist of this conference. Patent pictures have been exposed before. The new car will transform from a traditional sedan into a crossover form that mixes sedans and SUVs, which is reminiscent of Models such as the Versailles C5X and Peugeot 408X undoubtedly mean a new chapter for the Crown car series. In terms of body size, the length, width and height of the new car are 4930/1840/1540mm respectively, and the wheelbase is 2850mm. Compared with the 15th-generation overseas model, the length of the new car is 20mm longer, the width is 40mm higher, and the height is 85mm higher, but the wheelbase is reduced by 70mm.

It is very similar to the shape of many popular crossovers . The four wheel arches, four doors and Around the bottom of the car body, you can see that it is equipped with black anti-scratch strips, which is also in line with the positioning of a crossover vehicle.
There are 4 lamp beads inside the new headlight set. Together with the new upward daylight shape, it is quite similar to the bZ4X that was launched not long ago. The rear design of the car is much more exaggerated than before, with the taillight area and the lower part being independently circled. Out of a large piece, the LED light strip adopts the popular through-type shape, and the Toyota logo is embedded in the center of the light group.
The interior has also undergone tremendous changes for Crown. The LCD instrument panel and the 12.3-inch central control screen form a continuous screen layout. The design and position of the air-conditioning vents and physical buttons below are also very similar to the current common new car interiors. Compared with the previous generation, it lacks some grandeur and uniqueness. In addition, the steering wheel can be left to inherit a large number of buttons, which I believe will also have quite powerful functions.
