While most auto manufactures are content to build a single, fully-realized vehicle per class size, for some time now, Toyota has done things differently. Choosing instead to develop a myriad of crossovers and SUV’s, in every possible size and shape. Only to do it again with the more luxurious Lexus line-up. The 2025 Toyota Crown Signia is the latest offering. Replacing the unpopular Venza and merging Toyota attributes, with Lexus-level luxury.
Based on the Crown sedan, the Signia, straight away feels like a more compelling offering. The interior is pretty much the same, but the exterior carves a unique path all its own with a specialized front fascia and silhouette that resembles a wagon. Ignoring the parade of recently introduced SUV’s from Toyota, like the redesigned 4Runner and relaunched Land Cruiser, the Crown Signia isn’t trying to be an off-road machine. Instead, it’s focused on soft-riding suspension and a quiet, hybrid powertrain. Ideal for pavement and long distance stretches on glassy smooth interstates.
Due to it’s long wheelbase and attention to a supple, compliant ride, the Crown Signia won’t elicit much joy through the twists and turns, neither will it deliver blistering acceleration. Most will describe it as simply ‘quick enough.’ The appeal lies in the plush, spacious interior, which is easily enjoyed as you cruise around town in quiet comfort. An experience aided all the more by the multitude of driving aides and safety features. All said, the 2025 Toyota Crown Signia is a great option for anybody in the market for a wagon-like sedan. There’s spacious seating for four adults, Lexus-levels of luxury, and a soft, easy going driving experience that will net you 38 mpg combined.
