The 2027 Toyota Crown is set to undergo notable modifications, with the most substantial upgrades concentrated within the powertrain. According to reports, the automaker is integrating its fifth-generation hybrid system into the model while also implementing several exterior revisions. The updated Toyota hybrid system maintains a configuration similar to the fourth generation.
It utilizes a 2.5-liter, four-cylinder, naturally aspirated engine paired with two electric motors. While Toyota has not disclosed the specific power output figures, the manufacturer stated that the updated system achieves an EPA-estimated combined fuel economy rating of 40 miles per gallon. This represents a marginal decrease of one mpg compared to the 2026 model.
This enhanced hybrid powertrain will be standard equipment across the XLE, Limited, and Nightshade trims of the 2027 Crown. Conversely, the Crown Platinum trim level will continue to feature Toyota’s established Hybrid Max engine, which pairs a four-cylinder engine with the existing hybrid technology. These changes indicate a continued focus by Toyota on refining its hybrid offerings for the Crown lineup while addressing efficiency and performance metrics for the upcoming model year.
