Toyota Brevis G10

2001 – 2007

The Toyota Crown, originally introduced in 1955, is a line of mid-size luxury cars by Toyota primarily targeted as an upmarket offering. Though it was initially offered in North America from 1958 to 1972, it was later replaced by the Corona Mark II. In 2022, the sixteenth-generation Crown made a return to the North American market. Interestingly, outside Japan, the Crown has been succeeded by its sibling, the Lexus GS, which shares the Crown's platform and powertrain options since the debut of the Toyota Aristo in 1991. Over time, both the GS and Crown have developed a strong aesthetic resemblance through shared design elements. Key Points: 1.

In export markets, the Lexus GS has succeeded the Crown and shares its platform and powertrain options. 5.
