Toyota Crown Slated To Get A Plug-In Hybrid Option | Carscoops carscoops
earlier this year with two hybrid powertrains, and it appears a plug-in hybrid variant is on the horizon., Toyota President Akio Toyoda revealed the news during a dealer meeting in Las Vegas last week. Little is known about the model at this point, but it’s expected to adopt the Prime moniker just like the Prius plug-in hybrid.
That’s not much to go on, but the Crown comes standard with a hybrid powertrain that consists of a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine, two electric motors, an electronically controlled continuously variable transmission, and a newly developed high-output bipolar nickel-metal hydride battery. Toyota hasn’t released performance specifications, but the Japanese variant has a combined output of 231 hp .
Unfortunately, the focus on performance comes at a cost as the Crown Platinum is expected to have a fuel economy rating of 28 mpg. That’s 10 mpg less than the other Crown variants. The plug-in hybrid Crown will presumably be the most powerful and it’s possible the model could use a Hybrid Max-based powertrain. That remains to be seen, but we could potentially learn more details in the coming weeks.
