Without much fanfare or launch event, the Toyota Argentina website woke up with a great news that will begin to arrive at dealerships shortly. This is the Toyota Crown, a luxurious crossover that is aligned with models with a coupe silhouette.
The new model is actually the spearhead of the luxury division of the Japanese brand called Crown; It is already sold in the main markets of the world and now it has arrived in Argentina.

Due to these dimensions and the approach, the Crown fully enters the D (medium) segment and has as its main rival the DS4, the French firm’s luxury crossover.
The great differential of this new premium model that arrived on the Argentine market is that its engine is hybrid. This means that it has a propulsion system that combines a turbo internal combustion engine with an electric motor on the front axle and another on the rear axle, that is, it has all-wheel drive.
The 2.4-liter turbo gasoline engine has four in-line cylinders, 16 valves, distribution chain and direct and indirect injection, reaching a maximum power of 272 HP and a maximum torque of 46.9 kgm.
