The Crown Estate is available with two powertrain options. The hybrid version is equipped with a 2,5-litre petrol engine, an electric motor and a lithium-ion battery, providing E-Four all-wheel drive. The plug-in hybrid version uses a 2,5-litre Dynamic Force engine, two electric motors and a larger battery, allowing for an electric range of up to 88 km.
Unique accessories
Toyota offers special accessories for the Crown Estate, including a pull-out seat and table integrated into the trunk, making the car attractive to camping enthusiasts.
