Crown mpg tops forecasts

The hybrid powertrain on Toyota’s 2023 Crown, a naturally aspirated 2.5-liter inline-four engine paired with a continuously variable transmission, will deliver up to 41 mpg combined. It is tuned to maximize fuel savings in base XLE and midrange Limited models. A second hybrid in the Platinum, powered by a turbocharged 2.4-liter inline-four engine mated to a six-speed automatic gearbox, engineered to maximize performance with 340 hp, will get an estimated 30 mpg combined, Toyota said. The mileage figures are higher than Toyota’s initial forecasts.
