What is a Crown? The Crown is a midsize sedan built in Aichi, Japan and sold world wide by Toyota. The Signia model is the SUV edition of the Crown sedan. The 2025 Toyota Crown Signia Limited is the top tier trim, with 4 doors, 2 rows of seats, and can carry 5 passengers, with the ability to tow up to 2,700 lbs. The Toyota Crown Signia Limited has the extra space and power to take more of your life on the road with you.
The Crown Signia is lower, longer, and wider than the Toyota RAV4. If one were to separate SUVs from station wagons based on interior volume, height, ground clearance, and overall shape and proportions, the Crown Signia would appear to be more station wagon than SUV, and that’s a good thing, as I like roomy crossover station wagons.
The Toyota Crown Signia creates a driving experience that’s second to none. A variety of climate controls takes the cabin to the next level, maximizing comfort with a heated steering wheel, heated and ventilated front seats, and heated rear seats. As the highest trim level available, the Limited offers everything found in the XLE, along with new amenities. These include a fixed glass panoramic roof, all leather upholstery, a JBL premium sound system and a hybrid drive train with standard all wheel drive (AWD).
This week, Toyota sent me a 2025 Crown Signia SUV to test drive and review. The base window sticker price for this Limited Edition is $47,990. The options on the test SUV are: the advanced technology package for $1,865, the premium paint for $425, a set of wheel locks for $105, the preferred accessory package for $405, and the connected internet services package for $325. The manufacturer’s suggested retail price (MSRP), including the $1,450 destination charge, is: $52,565.
After adding in the state and local sales tax, plus the DMV and dealer fees, the out the door and in your garage total purchase price came to: $59,136. At just $864 under $60 Grand, this midsize SUV comes with every option Toyota offers in this size class. If your SUV buying budget is capped at $60,000, then you have to put this 2025 Toyota Crown Signia crossover on your ride and drive list to experience it first hand and in person.
The 2025 Toyota Crown Signia Limited SUV has a hybrid drive train. This system combines a 2.5 liter 4 cylinder gas engine with 2 electric motors, a hybrid battery powered transaxle, bolted to a electronic continuous variable transmission (CVT), with an electronic on-demand AWD traction control system. The fuel economy ratings are: 39 MPG city, 37 MPG highway, and 38 MPG in combined driving. The greenhouse gas rating is a 7, and the smog rating is a 6, both out of 10. These are all very good numbers for a midsize SUV with a 2,700 lb. tow rating and AWD.
The safety and convenience list starts with Toyota Safety Sense 3.0 with pre-collision assist, blind spot monitors, a smart key system with push button start, connected services via a 4G network, and a back up camera with grid lines. The advanced technology package adds in a panoramic view monitor, traffic jam assist, lane change assist, front cross traffic alert, front and rear parking assist, automatic braking, and a set of power folding side view mirrors with puddle lamps and a reverse tilt down feature.
The interior has a 12.3″ center stack display screen, a 12.3″ digital driver dash display, a wireless smart phone charging pad, wireless Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, Sirius XM HD satellite radio, a digital rear view mirror with Homelink and a premium JBL audio system with 800 watts of power driving 11 speakers and a subwoofer for an immersive sound experience. Just what you need to put a smile on your face everyday you drive it.
According to multiple reviews, the 2025 Toyota Crown Signia SUV is considered to be very good looking with a striking and unique design that stands out in the crowd. Often described as having a premium look, with bold lines and a commanding presence, especially in its front and side profiles. Some even say it has a slightly Lexus like aesthetic, meaning it looks very upscale, luxury and elegant.
