Toyota published a teaser of a new “all-wheel-drive hybrid electric mid-size SUV” that will soon be available in the US market. The model appears to be the production version of the Crown Estate concept which had previously been confirmed for a Japan debut in 2024.

The single teaser shot is focused on a small portion of the SUV’s tail. Thankfully, this is more than enough to identify it. The horizontally mounted full-width LED taillights and the lines of the tailgate and bumper match those of the Toyota Crown Estate prototype which was originally unveiled in July 2022 alongside the extended family of Crown-badged models.

The rear badging confirms that the US-spec version of the model will be offered with a self-charging hybrid powertrain and it will come with AWD capabilities. This will most likely combine either a naturally aspirated 2.5-liter or a turbocharged 2.4-liter petrol engine with dual electric motors, as in other Toyota models. In Japan, the Toyota Crown Estate will also be available with a plug-in hybrid powertrain option.
The production version of the Toyota Crown Estate will most likely stay close to the prototype’s footprint, measuring 4,930 mm (194.1 inches) long, 1,880 mm (74 inches) wide, and 1,620 mm (63.8 inches) tall. This makes it much larger than the RAV4, and incrementally smaller than the Highlander.
Besides the exterior of the SUV that closely follows Toyota’s latest styling language, we have also seen the close-to-production interior. The cabin will have a five-seater layout with a flat-folding rear bench adding to the practicality. The dashboard is expected to look very similar to the Toyota Crown Crossover, featuring the same digital cockpit with dual 12.3-inch displays, alongside many other carry-over components.

});
Toyota left a “see you soon” note under the teaser, meaning that the debut of the hybrid model is imminent. This will be the second Crown-badged offering in the US market. Japanese customers have access to the full range including the Crown Crossover, Crown Sport SUV, Crown Estate SUV, and Crown Sedan.
