In this episode of TheStraightPipes, Yuri and Jacob take the 2025 Toyota Crown Signo for a spin, a car that blurs the line between a wagon and an SUV. The debate rages on - is it a wagon, as Toyota claims in Japan, or an SUV, as perceived in North America? The design cues, from the two-tone paint to the elevated stance, add to the confusion. But one thing's for sure, this car exudes a sense of luxury reminiscent of the Toyota Crown's prestigious history in Japan.
As they delve into the interior, the duo is impressed by the premium materials, wireless charger, and the intuitive infotainment system with Apple Carplay. The comfort of the seats, drive modes, safety features, and spacious trunk all contribute to the overall appeal of the Crown Signo. On the road, the car handles well, with responsive steering and a smooth suspension that balances comfort and performance. The hybrid engine delivers a decent punch, though the CVT can be a bit coarse at times.
Despite its luxury features and performance, the Toyota Crown Signo comes at a reasonable price point, starting at $43,500. The fully loaded limited trim, priced at $47,990, offers a complete package for those seeking a blend of elegance and practicality. Overall, TheStraightPipes team finds the Crown Signo to be a compelling choice for those looking for a touch of luxury in a versatile vehicle.
