The 2026 Toyota Crown Brings a Blend of Bold and Unique Features to the Road Ahead
The Toyota Crown has long been recognized as a nameplate that blends innovation, sophistication, and advanced engineering. For 2026, Toyota takes this philosophy to new heights by equipping the Crown with cutting-edge technology, unmatched safety features, and a bold design that ensures drivers experience luxury and confidence on every journey.
Seamless Connectivity at Your Fingertips
At the heart of the 2026 Toyota Crown experience is its seamless integration of streaming and connected services. With the new streaming feature, drivers can link their separate Apple Music® and Amazon Music subscriptions directly to the vehicle, enabling onboard control with ease. Toyota sweetens the deal with a 30-day/3 GB Wi-Fi Connect trial and a 1-month Integrated Streaming trial included.
Beyond entertainment, Toyota delivers a robust suite of Connected Services designed for peace of mind and convenience. Safety Connect comes with a generous 5-year trial, offering features like an Emergency Assistance Button (SOS), 24/7 Enhanced Roadside Assistance, Automatic Collision Notification, and Stolen Vehicle Locator. Meanwhile, Service Connect provides drivers with Vehicle Health Reports, Maintenance Alerts, and reminders to keep their Crown in prime condition.
Every grade of the Toyota Crown includes a 1-year Remote Connect trial, enabling features like Digital Key. On the Platinum grade (or as part of the Advanced Tech package on the Limited), the Digital Key transforms a smartphone into a car key—allowing drivers to unlock doors, pop the trunk, or even start the engine with just their phone. Sharing access with family and friends is as simple as tapping on the Toyota app.
(Features are dependent on a 4G network.)
Toyota Safety Sense 3.0: Confidence in Every Drive
Safety remains a cornerstone of the Toyota Crown, with Toyota Safety Sense 3.0 (TSS 3.0) standard across all trims. This suite includes:
- Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection (PCS w/PD) – Helps detect vehicles, pedestrians, bicyclists, and motorcyclists, with audible/visual warnings and automatic emergency braking.
- Full-Speed Range Dynamic Radar Cruise Control (DRCC) – Adaptive cruise system that maintains preset distances from vehicles ahead, even in stop-and-go traffic.
- Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist (LDA w/SA) – Warns of unintended lane departures and provides gentle corrective steering.
- Lane Tracing Assist (LTA) – Keeps the vehicle centered in its lane when DRCC is active.
- Road Sign Assist (RSA) – Reads and displays road signs like speed limits and stop signs.
- Automatic High Beams (AHB) – Automatically switches between high and low beams.
- Proactive Driving Assist (PDA) – Provides gentle braking or steering support for safer, smoother driving.
Additional standard features like Blind Spot Monitor, Rear Cross-Traffic Alert, and Safe Exit Alert further enhance driver confidence, while Platinum models gain access to Advanced Park, Traffic Jam Assist, Lane Change Assist, and Front Cross-Traffic Alert for even greater convenience.
