Toyota Crown S220

2018 – 2022 — Japan

The Toyota Crown is a line of mid-size luxury cars produced by Toyota in Japan since 1955. Marketed as an upmarket offering in the Toyota lineup, the Crown has evolved through multiple generations. In North America, the first through fourth generations were available from 1958 to 1972 before being replaced by the Corona Mark II. The Crown returned to the North American market in 2022 with the release of the sixteenth-generation model. The Toyota Crown has a history of influence on other models, particularly in export markets. The Lexus GS, introduced in 1991 as the Toyota Aristo, shares the Crown’s platform and powertrain options. Over time, both models have displayed a strong aesthetic kinship, incorporating shared design cues for a cohesive look. Key Points: 1.
