A warm tooshie in the morning can make all the difference when you live in northern climates. This new full-size sedan comes with heated seats across the entire lineup. The front seats also offer power adjustments, giving you an easy way to find the sweet spot. The Limited and Platinum trims add ventilation and leather to the seating surfaces.

2. Toyota didn’t skimp on the infotainment screen

Even though some vehicles now offer infotainment screens that are massive in size, the 12.3-inch touchscreen is more than large enough in the 2023 Toyota Crown. This impressive user-friendly infotainment screen is standard across this new full-size sedan lineup.

3. Choose the Limited model for self-parking

The self-parking feature of the Crown is called Advanced Park. This feature offers self-parking for both parallel and perpendicular spaces. You can show off this feature to your friends, who might only expect luxury cars to be able to park themselves.

6. A digital instrument cluster that’s big and bold

The digital instrument display in the Toyota Crown is 12.3-inches. This screen is the same size as the infotainment screen and can show the desired information and readings. This configurable screen offers navigation directions, a hybrid mode, and all the gauge readings you normally see. The digital instrument display is standard on all models of this full-size sedan.
