The current Crown isn't one car — Toyota replaced the old sedan-only lineup with four completely different body styles (Crossover, Sedan, Sport, Estate) all wearing the same nameplate.
This Crown brought the nameplate back to North America for the first time in 50 years.
Toyota had a facelifted S220 Crown ready to go in 2020 — then president Akio Toyoda personally killed it, choosing to rush an all-new generation instead.
Toyota offered a special Reborn Pink edition of this Crown in September 2013, and 650 people ordered one.
In 2009 this Crown got the world's first center airbag, mounted between the front seats to stop occupants colliding with each other.
This Crown had a bigger back seat than a contemporary Mercedes S-Class or BMW 7 Series, on a wheelbase stretched 70 mm over its predecessor.
The S170 Crown quietly offered a mild-hybrid flagship years before hybrids went mainstream — a 3.0-litre Royal Saloon with a belted alternator starter system from 2001.
Toyota marketed this generation's wagon as the Crown Estate, dropping the 'Wagon' name used on earlier generations.
The S150 was the end of an era for Toyota’s flagship sedan — it’s the last Crown generation ever offered with a manual transmission.
The S140 Crown ditched the classic squared-off taillights for a curved wraparound design — buyers hated it, and sales fell behind both the Cedric/Gloria and the old Crown it replaced.
In 1989 the Royal Saloon G got the world's first CD-ROM-based car navigation system, a year after the Crown got Toyota's first airbag.
A rare mid-cycle option on this Crown — a 190hp twin-cam 3.0 litre six — is now a favourite engine swap for 5M-GE-powered Supras and Cressidas.
Toyota's Crown had been selling around the world since 1955, but it took until this sixth-generation S110 to finally reach Germany, in 1980.
The Royal Saloon trim of this Crown was 65mm too long for Japan's own compact-class length rule — and Toyota sold it anyway, tax penalty and all.
The 'Whale' Crown popped its trunk with a trick: turn the ignition key hard left. A floor button did double duty too, seeking the next radio station.
Toyota's S50 Crown ads cast an actor who'd soon play Fleet Admiral Yamamoto on screen — he then stayed on as the Crown's TV spokesman for the next 16 years, across generation after generation.
The Crown Eight's door latches were electromagnetic — touch a switch inside and the door released, no handle required.
In May 1963, 190 of these Crowns went to Denmark, making it the first Toyota ever exported to Europe.
This Crown made Toyota history quietly in October 1959 as Japan's first diesel-engine passenger car.
