The Toyota Crown is a large and comfortable hybrid sedan with levels of luxury and performance that may surprise you.

Cons

<ul>
<li>Hybrid MAX powertrain is pricey</li>
</ul>

Power, Ride, and Handling

Driving Impressions

The 2026 Toyota Crown is powered by a 236-horsepower hybrid 4-cylinder powertrain matched with a CVT automatic transmission and all-wheel drive (AWD). It’s upgradable to a punchy turbocharged Hybrid MAX setup that produces 340 horsepower. The tradeoff is simple: the base powertrain is more affordable and efficient, albeit slower, while the Hybrid MAX is more performance-oriented and less efficient.
Regardless of the powertrain, the Toyota Crown drives like a dream. Being the big sedan that it is, it floats over the road in smooth and serene comfort. When we tested the Crown, its good driving manners and hushed cabin reminded us of pricier Lexus hybrids. From daily errand running to highway cruising, the Crown is a comfortable way to get around.
The Crown even handled better than we expected when putting it through its paces on twisty roads. Toyota’s Active Cornering Assist (ACA) system delivers sure-footed handling in quick turns by applying subtle braking to whichever wheel needs it. Opting for the Platinum trim adds an Adaptive Variable Suspension system that can transform from firm and sporty to soft and comfy.
<h3>Fuel Economy</h3>
The 2026 Toyota Crown boasts a fantastic fuel economy rating of 42 city/41 highway/41 combined mpg, and it can go almost 600 miles on a full tank of gas. And remember, that’s with standard AWD. Upgrading to the sportier Hybrid MAX powertrain drops those numbers to 29 city/32 highway/30 combined mpg. According to EPA estimates, the monthly fuel cost of the Hybrid MAX is about $33 more than the base powertrain.

Distinct Exterior

Exterior

The Toyota Crown doesn’t look quite like anything else on the road. It’s ostensibly a sedan but has SUV-like ride height and a sloping, coupe-like roofline. However, it’s still a car with four doors and a trunk, so it’s a sedan. It looks especially distinct when optioned with one of the available two-tone paint jobs.

FAQs

Our Favorite Features and Tech

Favorite Features

Two hybrid powertrains 
The standard powertrain in the Toyota Crown returns over 40 mpg both in the city and on the highway. For those craving stronger performance but still wanting hybrid efficiency, the Hybrid MAX powertrain pumps out 340 horsepower while keeping fuel costs below the average for a new car.
Standard AWD 
Every Toyota Crown comes standard with all-wheel drive. This upscale sedan has no delusions about being an off-roader. Still, the all-wheel-drive system delivers confident traction on slippery roads and satisfying grip when turning on dry pavement.
Toyota Safety Sense 3.0 
This advanced suite of safety technologies bundles automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, full-speed adaptive cruise control, lane centering, road sign assist, and Toyota’s Proactive Driving Assist, which can gently apply brakes and steering based on the traffic around you.
Wireless Android Auto/Apple CarPlay 
Wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay are standard in every Toyota Crown. These connectivity features allow you to effortlessly stream music, maps, and more to the screen in your car without taking your phone out of your pocket or purse.
Standard leather seats 
The Toyota Crown XLE isn’t your average base-level Toyota. The most affordable trim of this hybrid is packed with desirable features like leather seats (heated and ventilated in front), 19-inch two-tone alloy wheels, a 12.3-inch infotainment display, and the aforementioned safety and smartphone connectivity features.
Platinum trim 
The top Platinum trim truly gives more expensive luxury sedans a run for their money. Just a few features include the powerful Hybrid MAX powertrain, an adaptive suspension system, a hands-free power trunk, JBL audio, a 360-degree camera, and available bi-tone exterior color options.

Upscale interior

Interior

Interior quality and comfort are highlights of the Toyota Crown. Remove the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/toyota/">Toyota</a> badges, and we could be convinced we were sitting in a Lexus the first time we got behind the wheel of this upscale sedan.
With accommodations for five, the Crown’s cabin is simple yet sophisticated. Twin 12.3-inch screens dominate the dash. One is in the center for infotainment duties, and the other is a digital instrument cluster. This kind of setup is becoming the norm, and it’s presented well here in the Crown.
There are just enough physical buttons for controlling climate, audio, and other functions without being untidy. You can also simply give a command by saying something like, “Hey, Toyota, set the temperature to 70 degrees.” Such voice command systems are also proliferating; we’ve found that Toyota’s system works remarkably well.
We tested out the Crown as a real-world family vehicle and can confirm that three kids can comfortably fit in the back seats. But it’s not just for kids; the back seats have 38.9 inches of adult-friendly legroom. The one minor downside we found in this respect is rear headroom. At 37.5 inches, it might feel a little tight for taller types. That said, the Camry only has another half an inch.
One other tiny gripe is that the trunk has 15.2 cubic feet of space. That’s roomy enough for groceries, but it’s less trunk space than the Toyota Avalon that the Crown replaced and about the same size as the trunk of the Camry, which is a smaller, more affordable, more efficient hybrid.

KBB Editors' Overview

In an automotive world where big sedans from mainstream brands have all but vanished, the Toyota Crown is in a class of its own. As the largest and priciest sedan in the Toyota lineup, it serves up <a href="https://www.kbb.com/lexus/">Lexus</a>-like levels of luxury and even lively performance when optioned with the available 340-hp Hybrid MAX powertrain. Meanwhile, the subtler standard hybrid powertrain returns up to 41 combined mpg. Add in standard all-wheel drive, a spacious interior, and the safety, reliability, and resale value synonymous with <a href="https://www.kbb.com/toyota/">Toyota</a>, and there’s a strong case to be made for the premium yet practical Toyota Crown.
We’ve spent hundreds of hours driving and evaluating this generation of <a href="https://www.kbb.com/cars/best-mid-size-cars/">mid-size cars</a>, including the 2026 Toyota Crown.

Optional Equipment

Pricing - Dynamic

Pricing - Static

The pricing of the Toyota Crown falls between a more mainstream hybrid sedan like the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/toyota/camry/">Toyota Camry</a> and a hybrid luxury car like the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/lexus/es/">Lexus ES</a>. The most popular of the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/compare-cars/results?vehicleIds=476616|476615|476645|476583">four trim levels</a> among buyers seems to be the Limited and the Platinum.
Before buying a Crown, check the Kelley Blue Book Fair Purchase Price to know what you should really pay. Toyota Crown resale value is about average for the segment. Recouping more money when selling a vehicle can mean a bigger down payment and lower monthly payments on the next one.

Engine and Transmission

Under the Hood

The standard 2.5-liter hybrid 4-cylinder engine in the Toyota Crown makes 236 hp and 163 lb-ft of torque. A continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT) delivers power to all four wheels. Its performance is good enough for the daily commute, and its fuel economy is outstanding at 42 city/41 highway/41 combined mpg.
Meanwhile, the heart of the optional Hybrid MAX powertrain is a turbocharged 2.4-liter 4-cylinder with a total output of 340 hp and 400 lb-ft of torque. It’s mated to a 6-speed automatic transmission. This is a considerable upgrade in performance, but fuel economy is reduced to 29 city/32 highway/30 combined mpg.
<h3>3-Year/36,000-Mile Warranty</h3>
Toyota’s new vehicle warranty lasts three years or 36,000 miles, whichever happens first. Powertrains are covered for five years or 60,000 miles, which is typical among mainstream manufacturers. Hybrid components have a warranty of eight years or 100,000 miles, and the hybrid battery is protected for 10 years or 150,000 miles. Toyota also includes two years or 25,000 miles of free scheduled maintenance, plus two years of roadside assistance with unlimited mileage.
<h3>Safety</h3>
The Crown is considered a Top Safety Pick by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (<a href="https://www.iihs.org/ratings" target="_blank" rel="noopener">IIHS</a>), the institute’s second-highest honor. It also earns a 5-Star overall safety rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (<a href="https://www.nhtsa.gov/ratings" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NHTSA</a>).
Standard safety features include forward collision warning with automatic emergency braking and pedestrian/cyclist/motorcyclist detection, lane tracing assistance, and Proactive Driver Assist — a system that adds gentle steering and braking inputs when necessary.

What's new for 2026

The 2026 Toyota Crown carries over into this model year with no notable changes. In 2025, it added the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/car-news/2025-toyota-crown-gets-the-nightshade-treatment/">Nightshade trim</a> to its lineup and piled on more standard features.

The Mitsubishi Outlander is America’s most affordable 3-row SUV, and its great warranty and impressive fuel economy add to its value proposition.

<ul>
<li>Weak engine</li>
<li>Tiny third row</li>
<li>Poor resale value</li>
</ul>

The 2025 Mitsubishi Outlander is powered by a 181-horsepower 4-cylinder engine matched with a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT)and front-wheel drive (FWD) or all-wheel drive (AWD). On paper, its performance is about on par with the base engine of the Kia Sorento, but a much stronger turbo engine is optional in the Sorento and standard in the Hyundai Santa Fe.
Although the middling horsepower, less-than-responsive transmission, and light steering make the Outlander a bit anemic, we were pleasantly surprised by the ride quality’s refinement in our testing. A plush suspension and muted cabin noise almost made us forget that the Outlander is one of the cheapest cars in its class.
<h3>Fuel Economy</h3>
The 2025 Mitsubishi Outlander returns 27 combined mpg with front-wheel drive and 26 mpg with all-wheel drive. These ratings are slightly better than the base engines in the Kia Sorento and Hyundai Santa Fe, but both of those rivals have conventional hybrid options that get up to 36 combined mpg. Meanwhile, the Outlander PHEV goes up to 38 miles on electricity alone and returns 26 mpg with a depleted battery.

Handsome Exterior

The current Outlander SUV has more presence and attitude than its predecessor. In the past, that third row might have been the main reason for choosing an Outlander. Nowadays, the design might also have some sway. Some slight styling tweaks for 2025 help to keep it fresh.

All-wheel drive 
Mitsubishi calls it Super All-Wheel Control (S-AWC), but most of us tend to know it as all-wheel drive, providing the usual extra confidence during bad weather. It has selectable modes of Tarmac, Gravel, Snow, Normal, Eco, and Mud. The difference between Tarmac and Normal is that the former is like a Sport setting.
Apple CarPlay/Android Auto 
We all expect phone integration to be standard in new vehicles these days. It is in the 2025 Outlander, and it works wirelessly in every trim.
Standard Yamaha audio 
Premium sound is usually reserved for upper trims, but in 2025, every Outlander comes with a Yamaha audio system. The base ES trim has an 8-speaker setup, while every other trim has a more powerful 12-speaker system.
Powered tailgate 
A power-operated tailgate (with adjustable opening heights) is simply a great convenience feature, which becomes standard in the SE.
12.3-inch digital instrument cluster 
This configurable driver information display becomes available in the SE’s Tech package. It can show the usual things like road and engine speeds, plus navigation directions.
Head-up display 
Taking driver-oriented tech further, the head-up display projects information into the windshield, reducing those fractions of seconds spent not looking at the road. This is part of the SEL’s Touring package.

3-Row Interior

We’re pleased to report that the Outlander 3-row SUV’s interior is uncluttered and made of high-quality materials. Pricier versions can be almost luxurious, offering semi-aniline leather with diamond-patterned stitching for the seats and door panels.
The good news for families who can benefit from extra seats is that the Mitsubishi Outlander has standard 3-row seating for up to seven. The bad news is that the third row is tiny, fit exclusively for children and the vertically challenged. There are only 18.7 inches of third-row legroom, considerably less than the Kia Sorento and Hyundai Santa Fe, which have about 30 inches of legroom in the way back.
However, if you’ll have the third row folded down most of the time, the Outlander has a decent-sized cargo hold with 30.6 cubic feet of room. There’s 10.9 cubic feet of room behind the third row and a whopping 64.3 cubic feet when all rear seats are folded down. Again, its closest rivals from Kia and Hyundai have more cargo room by virtue of being larger vehicles.

Falling somewhere between compact and midsize SUVs, the Mitsubishi Outlander has the distinction of being America’s most affordable new car with three rows of seats. Its affordable pricing and 3-row versatility make it a strong value proposition for frugal families, and its long warranty coverage and thrifty fuel economy enhance that value factor. It can even get pretty nice in the upper trims if your budget allows it. If a bigger midsize SUV is too pricey and a 2-row compact SUV is too small, the Mitsubishi Outlander is your Goldilocks.
We’ve spent hundreds of hours driving and evaluating this generation of <a href="https://www.kbb.com/suv/best-mid-size-suvs/">midsize SUVs</a>, including the 2025 Mitsubishi Outlander.

Pricing is one of the biggest strengths of the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/compare-cars/results?vehicleIds=476240|476259|476266|476256">Mitsubishi Outlander</a>. It has the bragging rights of America’s most affordable 3-row vehicle, but the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/kia/sorento/">Kia Sorento</a> and <a href="https://www.kbb.com/hyundai/santa-fe/">Hyundai Santa Fe</a> aren’t far off, both starting in the mid-$30,000 range.
Before buying an Outlander, check the Kelley Blue Book Fair Purchase Price to know what you should really pay. The Mitsubishi Outlander’s resale value is among the worst in its segment. Recouping more money when selling a vehicle can mean a bigger down payment and lower monthly payments on the next one.

<ul>
<li>Budget-friendly 3-row seating</li>
<li>Good warranty</li>
<li>Comfy and quiet</li>
</ul>

<ul>
<li>Aesthetic refresh</li>
<li>Retuned suspension</li>
<li>Standard Yamaha audio</li>
</ul>

Power for the Mitsubishi Outlander comes from a 2.5-liter 4-cylinder engine rated at 181 horsepower and 181 lb-ft of torque. It’s mated to a CVT transmission, which helps with efficiency but doesn’t do the SUV any favors in the excitement department. Like most of the SUVs in this class, front-wheel drive is standard, and all-wheel drive is optional.
A plug-in hybrid Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV is available, which we <a href="https://www.kbb.com/mitsubishi/outlander-phev/">review separately</a>.
<h3>5-Year/60,000-Mile Warranty</h3>
The Mitsubishi Outlander has a 5-year/60,000-mile basic warranty and a 10-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty. Only Kia and Hyundai cover their cars for as long. But, perhaps not coincidentally, this car’s major competitors are mostly Kia and Hyundai models, namely the Kia Sorento and Hyundai Santa Fe.
The 2025 Outlander also includes a complimentary 2-year/30,000-mile scheduled maintenance plan. But we encourage shoppers not to overrate that perk — there isn’t much maintenance in the first two years of car ownership. It covers a maximum of three oil changes, three tire rotations, and one cabin filter.
<h3>Safety</h3>
The Mitsubishi Outlander has earned a 4-Star overall safety rating (out of a possible five stars) from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (<a href="https://www.nhtsa.gov/ratings">NHTSA</a>). In testing by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (<a href="https://www.iihs.org/ratings">IIHS</a>), it gets the top “Good” rating in every crashworthiness criterion.

What's new for 2025

For 2025, the Mitsubishi Outlander gets a <a href="https://www.kbb.com/car-news/mitsubishi-updates-outlander-for-2025/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">mild facelift</a> to its exterior styling, mainly noticeable in the lower front and rear fascias. Its cabin also gets a refresh, with a reorganized center stack yielding a more favorable cupholder layout and a bigger 12.3-inch infotainment screen replacing the old 9-inch screen.
Mitsubishi also retuned the suspension and added more sound deadening to create a more compliant and quiet ride. Mission accomplished; the added serenity was noticeable in our testing.

$73,500 &amp; up Archives - Kelley Blue Book

The all-new 2025 Audi S6 Sportback e-tron midsize car uses its electric power not just for luxury, but also for thrills. Maximum range is 324 miles.

Power, Ride and Handling

Two electric motors, one driving each axle, endow the new S6 Sportback e-tron with a total of 543 hp (with launch control engaged) — enough to send the car accelerating from standstill to 60 mph in only 3.7 seconds. Objectively, that’s sufficient power for virtually any kind of driving this side of a racetrack’s gates. The BMW i5 M60 xDrive sedan has another 50 horses, yet hits 60 mph at the same time. The Mercedes-AMG EQE sedan is a higher achiever with a maximum output of 677 hp and a minimum sprint time of 3.2 seconds, but it costs significantly more.
A sport-tuned adaptive air suspension is standard. Even though the S6 Sportback e-tron comes with all-wheel drive, the bias is toward the rear for a perceptible sportiness.
<h3>Range and Charging</h3>
<a href="https://www.kbb.com/audi/">Audi</a> says the S6 Sportback e-tron has a range of up to 324 miles, better than the Mercedes-AMG EQE’s 225 miles and the BMW i5 M60’s 253 miles. Using a DC fast charger, the S6 Sportback e-tron can go from 10% capacity to 80% in 21 minutes, which is as good as most EVs get.

Handsome and Handy Exterior

Like the A6 Sportback e-tron, this S6 variant is a sleek hatchback, as opposed to a regular sedan, which is fine by us. We like this mix of stylish and sensible. This car has a few extra aerodynamic additions, like a rear lip spoiler, to help differentiate it from the regular A model.
The standard wheels are 20-inch alloys, with 21-inch rims on the options list. Siam Grey Metallic and Daytona Gray Pearl paint finishes are available on the S6 Sportback e-tron, but not on the A version.

Digital Stage 
This is Audi’s name for its combination of 11.9-inch instrument cluster and 14.5-inch infotainment touchscreen. An extra 10.9-inch touchscreen is optional, enabling the front passenger to help with navigation or finding a parking space, or just be entertained by streaming or video games without distracting the driver.
Augmented reality head-up display 
Not just projecting typical information onto the windshield in front of the driver, this option adds things like direction arrows for navigation.
Adaptive driving assistant 
This technology augments adaptive cruise control with map information and other data to enhance occupant comfort and calculate arrival times.
Digital key 
No fob necessary. Drivers can lock/unlock and start the S6 Sportback e-tron whenever their phone or smartwatch is in proximity.
Panoramic glass roof 
The S6 Sportback e-tron has this cool glass roof as standard. It can go from transparent to four levels of opaqueness at the touch of a button.
Bang &amp; Olufsen audio 
We think it’s good to see — and hear — some perennially favorite features making their way into Audi’s newest cars. The S6 Sportback e-tron offers a Bang &amp; Olufsen surround-sound system with 830 watts going through 20 speakers, some of those speakers being in the front headrests.

Versatile Interior

Audi’s S cars augment their typically sophisticated interiors with things like more supportive front seats, keeping their occupants in place even when cornering speeds become more spirited. This is an all-new electric car, so the S6 Sportback e-tron also comes with plenty of contemporary technology.
More mundane but still useful, maximum cargo space is a generous 39.9 cubic feet, better than any sedan.

Based on the A6 Sportback e-tron, this S6 variant is the sporty one. We’ve always been big fans of any S car from <a href="http://www.kbb.com/audi/">Audi</a>. We like the whole package of power and equipment, with that extra poise to the suspension. The 2025 S6 Sportback e-tron follows the usual S formula. In this instance, it comes with 168 hp more than its entry-level A6 Sportback e-tron stablemate.
There’s something else we should mention as well. We’ve also been mightily impressed by Audi’s electric vehicles in general. We’ve found them enjoyable to drive and good at making people feel comfortable with this method of propulsion.

The 2025 Audi S6 Sportback e-tron has a starting sticker price of $79,995, with the range-topping Prestige version kicking off at $85,895.

The main rivals are the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/bmw/i5/2025/">BMW i5</a> M60 xDrive and the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/mercedes-benz/mercedes-amg-eqe/">Mercedes-AMG EQE</a> sedan.

The <a href="https://www.kbb.com/lucid/air/">Lucid Air</a> in Touring trim has more power, is quicker to charge, quicker to 60 mph, and starts in the same financial bracket as this Audi, but there isn’t a similarly sporty demeanor.
