If you ignore the fact that it’s colored in pink (ahem... electric-fuchsia), the new Toyota Crown Athlete looks like a winning combination. It’s a big, comfortable sedan meant to haul businessmen between airport and office buildings - just like a Lincoln Town Car does in the US.
The new Crown’s lines are elegant and somehow sporty at the same time, reminding us about the Lexus GS. Even the interior gives a premium Lexus feel - supportive seats wrapped in leather and quality fabric, a simple but nicely sculpted dashboard, big infotainment system, generous space and a nice white and black theme.
Also, the redesigned sedan comes with multiple powertrains, each being offered with rear- or all-wheel-drive systems. Engine range includes a 2.5-liter V6 with six-speed automatic transmission, 3.5-liter V6 with eight-speed auto (RWD only) and a 2.5-liter inline-four with an electric motor that makes 220hp, which you can see in the video bellow.
