I guess the Japanese police force likes big cars ( big by Japanese standards), just like over here the cops like the Crown Vic.

Crown Hybrid

The rear-wheel drive THS II (Toyota Hybrid System II) with a two-stage motor speed reduction device provides the driving performance of a 4.5-liter vehicle with the low fuel consumption of a 2.0-liter vehicle to deliver powerful and smooth acceleration and exceptional environmental performance.

The combination of a high output 3.5-liter V6 gasoline engine and a high-performance electric motor achieves excellent driving performance, a quiet ride, high fuel efficiency and clean emissions.

The electric vehicle (EV) driving mode permits the driver, simply by pressing a button, to operate the vehicle using the electric motor only, for quiet operation early in the morning or late at night and lower emissions.

The Active Noise Control function uses the speakers to cancel out engine booming noise (low-frequency engine noise) and provide an even quieter ride.

Crown Royal Saloon & Crown Athlete

The Crown Royal Saloon series features a V6 3.0-liter and a V6 2.5-liter engine, while the Crown Athlete series offers a V6 3.5-liter and a V6 2.5-liter engine. All engines are combined with 6 Super ECT (Super Intelligent Electronically-controlled, Six-speed Automatic Transmission) and DRAMS (Driving Response and Acceleration Management System) for smooth and powerful driving.

The 3.5-liter engine is a D-4S (direct injection four-stroke gasoline engine, superior version), while the 3.0-liter and 2.5-liter engines are stoichiometric D-4 engines. All engines employ Dual VVT-i (Dual Variable Valve Timing-intelligent) to optimize intake and exhaust valve timing according to driving conditions. Outstanding Environmental Performance ............................

V-8 is reserved for the Crown Majesta. The above PR pertains to the Crown Royal and Athlete.

Finally Toyota is getting the Active Noise Cancellation system too! I'm suprised it takes Toyota, known for making quiet cabins, this much longer than Honda. Hopefully we'll see this feature in the upcoming refreshed/redesigned Lexuses soon.

Hey all!

we just bought one - a 1992 Crown Majesta. I was thinking. This is the only real online Discussion presence I’ve see about them, and I love this site for chatting about my Lexus... perhaps management would consider a Crown section for topics to be posted separately, perhaps making this very thread a sticky there. Might be nice to have sub forums for the Crown variants. I get that they aren’t Lexus but they seem to have a home here
