What Exactly IS the 2025 Toyota Crown Signia AND Is It Toyota's Smash Hit of the Year?

Manufacturers should start making wagons and calling them crossovers and they would sell because it says suv

Roman! Dude, you need to actually listen! At the 57-60 ish second mark Andre starts to explain why they make tall sedans and then you say “No” (as if he was wrong) yet proceed to say exactly what he was trying to say. You owe Andre an apology!

It’s not a CVT, it’s an ECVT. Not the same. It’s way better and very reliable. An electric motor not a belt drives the car.

It's a wagon. And I get genuinely appreciate Toyota offering a wagon. But for the price, they need to offer the more powerful powertrain.

I got my wife a venza in 2021 for $31k so big increase for this one

This makes so much more sense of Toyota's inventive design language than the Crown sedan. Wow!

My favorite line: It’s 64! It’s getting hot! 🥵

There was nothing wrong with the design of the previous Venza, IMO. I think the Venza went in a different direction from what it used to be in 2009-2015, a near-luxury station wagon. The outgoing Venza was definitely luxurious (based on the JDM Harrier which became different from the Lexus RX around 2010), but that was a crossover, not a wagon. This, for me, is a return to form from the original Venza, just that the 4 cylinder non-hybrid and N/A V6 engines in that didn't make a return. BTW, Toyota hybrids don't use a traditional CVT, they use a planetary gear set that they call e-CVT. I wish they'd come up with a different name for it so that everyone doesn't call it a CVT and then avoid the car because they think it has a CVT with a chain or a belt when in actual fact they don't.

I want one. This thing is perfect inside and out.

Roman and Andre, I am rolling out the welcome wagon for this..........wagon. 🙌🙌🙌🙌My one major question concerns the back seat. When you build a near perfect ski vehicle for a family of four, you need to include a 40/20/40 back seat with a proper ski pass through!! Those gimmicky extension flaps just don't cut the mustard. As a 'near luxury' vehicle, a sliding and reclining rear seat should be present as well.🤨

I love it! It is a WAGON, what is wrong with calling it what it is? I´ve owned many Volvo wagons, they offer the best in terms of driving dynamics with the space of the CUV in the back, and they are not too tall so you can carry your bikes in a roof rack. Perfect configuration for me. I´d buy one if the price is not crazy

Toyota design is just killing it lately. BMW and Mercedes could learn a thing or two with them!

It's a wagon because in another market it's named Crown Estate

Everything is impressive until the price tag comes

Great review guys. Love your channel.

I'm frustrated by the lack of choice of vehicle in the United States. I'm always so envious seeing the variety available overseas, or remembering the variety we used to have here. If you want a crossover SUV or a pickup truck, there are choices galore. But if you want anything else at all, there is nearly nothing. It sucks that our roads are clogged with those tall, hulking things. I truly hate it. This seems more like a wagon to me, which is a step in the right direction. It's hilarious that they felt the need to put black trim all around it, including the wheel wells - though they made it shiny.

It cost WAY to much

I getting tired of reviewers denigrating the Venza. It has been a great vehicle for us. And for Roman to say it's time for the 'old' Venza to go - the Venza has only been out for 3 years!   We were out walking around the auto mall yesterday and after looking at equivalent products at different competitors, I'm still impressed with how comfortable (the seats!) it is and everything that came with our Venza.   I'm looking forward to trying out the Signia (after seeing it at the LA Auto show) but we'll stick with our Venza for many years to come.

Toyota is perfecting the mobile appliance. Great cars if you don’t care about driving. I owned an RAV4 hybrid and thought it was one of the best cars for its value. But I sold it because it didn't do anything for me when driving. I have to feel torque and hp when driving, but I realize many do not.

That's like the ferrari purosangue shape
