I am strongly considering a 2026 Crown and all the dealerships within 90 miles have a black Nightshade immediately discounted 3k while leaving the Limiteds at MSRP. Isn't the Nightshade a better package/better return or is this just an anomaly of where I live?
From this…to THIS! I really thought, “With all this tech, radar and sensors and blind spot detection, adaptive cruise control etc etc… she have a hard time f$cking this one up”.
NOPE! After 6 short months she says, “someone hit her, while she was driving”.
It’s in the shop, seems nobody is taking the blame, I wasn’t there.
I’d it better to get rid of it and get something else? It’s been a while, but anytime I’ve had something like this happen, the car never drove the same, and issues started piling up soon after.
Opinions?
Handwash with Meguiar's of my new Gold Certified CPO 2026 Crown in Heavy Metal. Regional manager's car with odometer reading 648 when I drove it home. OTD at ~$53k.
I finally reviewed the 2026 Toyota Crown XLE after already driving the Platinum, Limited, and Nightshade trims.
Honestly, the XLE might make the most sense for most buyers. You still get the hybrid AWD setup, solid tech, comfortable ride, and over 40 MPG without jumping way up in price.
It definitely feels more premium than a Camry, but not quite full Lexus ES luxury. Kind of an interesting middle ground.

Curious what everyone else thinks about the Crown lineup so far.
Prices are in AUD
chat I want a crown and I saw this listing and thought it was a rlly good deal, any common problems etc I should be on the lookout for?
Have just picked up a Toyota Crown Athlete 3.5L V6 for 10k at 168,000kms. I understand there are some issues to be had but I plan on babying this thing and taking care of it. Any tips or things to look out for would be much appreciated. Definitely needs new coilovers, yes the dash is cracked to hell but apart from that full service history/log books up to date although there seems to be nothing major that had been replaced. still going on most of the factory running gear.
Thanks
Hi, Both my wife and my phones are listed in the dash, both have android auto enabled. I am the primary driver and phone however when we are both in the car my wife's phone ALWAYS connect for android auto., not mine. This is really annoying as I always drive. How do I get my phone to connect first?
I scratched my almost new ‘26 Crown platinum on the passenger side , barely have had it for 5 months. Was texting getting out of the garage , dumb me. By the time the sensor went off the side mirror had folded and hit the side wall . I feel so stupid. Never happened with my old car but anyway. Brought it to the dealership since first service was due , they said they don’t do any body work . I haven’t gone through insurance yet . The dealership I bought it at sold me a Maintenance Contract which says appearance , hopefully they cover the exterior paint . I thought about getting a marker from Toyota too which would match the OEM paint. What would you guys advise ?
After a long wait I am finally a proud owner of a Crown. Royal saloon with 188,XXXKm. Also, the best part, accessibility seat! I’d happily take the uniqueness of that seat over a GTE. (I also don’t trust myself not touching the engine if I had the GTE lol)
I've been having trouble with my iphone 16 and car play. Most times it stops working about 15-30 minutes into a drive. The voice activation cuts out sometimes I can use it with the button on the wheel but not always. I rented a camry and it did same thing ( so dealer could check out car play) . I got apple to replace phone under apple car and new phone still does it. Anybody else have issues
Just wondering if chrome wheels would be better suited or should I go for the all black look
Started having this dash warning as I’ve changed my grill: ‘PCS Currently Unavailable’
I have the 08 G Package with Radar Cruise Control. Switched my grill to the base model trim - for looks and blackout. Noticed started to have this on the dash
Ideally would like to remove it or have a fix for it without taking off the fuse switch. Can anyone recommend a fix?
Hello I’m looking to import a JZS171 from CarsFromJapan.com and I’ve got my eye on one listed at 5.5k, I know there’s fees and tariffs when it comes to this so what’s that like? This is my first time and I’m looking to spend 8-9k max as there is one by me for 10k. I’m going to be importing to California and driving over there to pick it up as I’m in Arizona. Has anybody had experience importing it? I would love to know any more information thanks!
