Written By: CarPro | Nov 20, 2023 3:51:56 PM

Toyota is introducing a new SUV to its lineup: the 2025 Toyota Crown Signia, a hybrid-only crossover SUV based on its flagship Crown sedan.  At the same time, it's discontinuing the mid-sized two-row Venza after the 2024 model year.

Toyota recently reintroduced the Crown nameplate in the U.S. market after a 51-year hiatus.  The  2025 Toyota Crown Signia SUV crossover is available in two grades: XLE and Limited.    Both grades are exclusively hybrids with standard all-wheel drive. The hybrid powertrain, a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine with two electric motors, delivers 243-horsepower and a preliminary manufacturer-estimated 36 combined MPG. Toyota cites a towing capacity of 2,700 pounds.

Exterior

Exterior features include a monochromatic grille and flowing roofline. The Limited rides on 21-inch dark gray metallic colored alloy wheels, while the XLE is equipped with black-accented 19-inch multi-spoke machine finished two tone alloy wheels. There are five exterior paint options to choose from:  Storm Cloud, Finish Line Red, Oxygen White, Black, and Bronze Age.
