Toyota Crown performance, fuel economy and mpg data

The 16 generation 2.4 AT with 349 hp is the most completely measured performance version: 0–100 km/h takes 5.9 seconds and top speed is 200 km/h. Its consumption is 7.9 L/100 km city, 5.7 L/100 km highway and 6.4 L/100 km combined. The 16 generation 2.4 AT with 272 hp has the same measured consumption, while its 0–100 km/h time and top speed are not measured. The 2.5 eCVT records 4.5 L/100 km combined; city, highway, acceleration and top speed are not measured. All consumption and performance figures for the 16 generation AT and 2.5 AT are not measured.

For the 15 generation, the 2.0 AT records 11.5 L/100 km city, 6.6 highway and 8.1 combined. The AWD 2.5 CVT records 6.7 city, 5.2 highway and 5.5 combined; the RWD 2.5 CVT records 5.8, 4.8 and 5.0 respectively. The 3.5 CVT records 7.9, 5.6 and 6.3. Acceleration and top speed are not measured for every 15 generation version.

Earlier data is sparse. The 9 generation 2.5 AT with 180 hp records 15 L/100 km city, 9.8 highway and 12.3 combined. A 10 generation 2.5 AT with 200 hp has measured top speeds of 180 km/h for one RWD entry and 210 km/h for one AWD entry, while acceleration and consumption are not measured. One 6 generation 2.8 MT records 11.1 seconds from 0–100 km/h; its top speed and consumption are not measured. Where no figure is stated here, it is not measured in the supplied data.

Toyota Crown dimensions, weight and wheel sizes

Overall exterior dimensions are not measured in the supplied data. Recorded kerb weight begins at 1152 kg for the 1 generation and reaches 2000 kg for the 16 generation AT and 2.5 AT. Among the latest versions, the 2.5 eCVT weighs 1750 kg, the 2.4 AT with 272 hp weighs 1880 kg, and the 2.4 AT with 349 hp weighs 1920 kg. Gross weight is not measured for most versions; it is 1950 kg for the 16 generation 2.4 AT with 272 hp.

The 16 generation versions with measured clearance have 145 mm of ground clearance and a 55-litre tank. The 2.5 eCVT, AT, 2.5 AT and 2.4 AT with 272 hp list 225/55 R19 and 225/45 R21 wheels; wheel sizes for the 2.4 AT with 349 hp are not measured.

Which Toyota Crown version should you choose?

For the strongest measured output, the 13 generation 3.5 AT with 360 hp leads the listed range by 11 hp over the 16 generation 2.4 AT with 349 hp, although the newer version produces 542 Nm versus 498 Nm—a 44 Nm advantage. The 16 generation 2.4 AT with 349 hp is also the clear choice when measured acceleration matters, because its 5.9-second result is the only current-generation 0–100 km/h figure supplied.

For the lowest measured combined consumption, choose the 16 generation 2.5 eCVT at 4.5 L/100 km. It uses 1.9 L/100 km less than either 16 generation 2.4 AT entry at 6.4 L/100 km. Among the 15 generation versions, the RWD 2.5 CVT is lowest at 5.0 L/100 km, beating the AWD 2.5 CVT by 0.5 L/100 km.

For traditional RWD with an Automatic transmission, the 15 generation 2.0 AT offers 245 hp and 350 Nm, while the 14 generation 2.0 AT provides 235 hp and the same 350 Nm.
