Toyota Crown Looks More Luxurious Than Ever PHOTO
The Toyota Crown Sedan has just received two special editions in Japan, featuring unique design treatments.
The first edition celebrates the 70th anniversary of the Crown with a two-tone finish and commemorative badges, while the second features a "Matte Metal" shade previously used on the Crown Crossover and Crown Sport.
The four-door sedan retains its role as Toyota's flagship model 70 years after the original debuted in 1955. To mark this milestone, the company has launched the Crown Special Edition Z "The 70th", which will be available exclusively in Japan.
The anniversary special edition features a "Precious Metal" color on the upper body, combined with either "Precious White Pearl" or "Precious Black Pearl" for the lower half. The two-tone exterior makes the Crown look like a competitor to Maybach or Rolls-Royce, though it is much more affordable.
The anniversary logo with the Crown emblem is laser-engraved on the dashboard and engraved on the jewel-like gear shifter. It also appears in a few other places, while the "Black Lustre" interior with matching wood inserts keeps things elegant and understated.
Toyota has also announced the Crown Special Edition Z Limited Matte Metal. It features a dark gray matte exterior with a special surface treatment that makes it easy to maintain. Like the rest of the Crown sedan lineup, the special editions are available with two powertrains: a 2.5-liter self-charging hybrid or a hydrogen FCEV system (from the Mirai model).
The Crown Special Edition Z "The 70th" starts at $52,700 for the hybrid version and $59,700 for the FCEV. The Matte Metal edition is even more expensive – $56,500 and $63,500.
