Everyone is familiar with the Toyota Crown car. Today, Crown returns to the market as the Toyota sub-brand, rather than a single model. This once-selling global model has naturally caused quite a stir. The power unit of the Crown model launched in the US market uses its most advanced Hybrid oil-electric hybrid technology, which combines energy saving and performance. Now the third power system is about to surface.
According to foreign media MotorTrend, Toyota President Akio Toyota officially announced this information at a dealer briefing held in Las Vegas, and the model equipped with Plug-in Hybrid will follow the Prius naming rules and add the sub-car name of "Prime". There are two versions of the Crown currently sold in the United States. The standard version is equipped with a 2.5L four-cylinder engine, and two electric motors, , ECVT gearbox and bipolar nickel-hydrogen battery. The output of the Japanese version is 231hp.
, and the previous Crown Platium uses a 2.4L four-cylinder turbo engine and a Hybrid Max engine. The front axle motor can bring stable output of maximum torque. rear axle uses the latest eAxle system and a six-speed automatic transmission with a hydraulic multi-piece wet clutch. Such a power unit reflects the maximum horsepower of at 340hp, and the strength of 0-100km/h in just 5.9 seconds. Of course, if the power output becomes stronger, the relative fuel consumption performance will decrease significantly. Even if the car has advantages such as fuel-electric system support, this will still be the case.
In addition, I believe that the Crown, equipped with plug-in oil-electric power, will definitely be better than the Crown Platium in terms of power output. It is expected to use the Hybrid Max system as the basis to obtain greater horsepower and torque output. It is expected that the actual car will be released in a few weeks.
