Proceed with caution

Key Takeaways

  • Focus pre-purchase inspections on the instrument cluster and rearview camera systems, as these have been subject to a high volume of recalls.
  • Be aware of engine and fuel/propulsion system complaints, especially those reported at low mileage, which could indicate potential drivability issues.
  • While the brand has a strong reputation, the 2024 Crown's significant recall count and specific complaint patterns suggest potential repair costs and a need for diligent verification of all manufacturer-remedied campaigns.
  • The lack of NHTSA safety ratings means buyers must rely on other available data for safety assessments.

Overview

2024 Toyota Crown

The 2024 Toyota Crown offers a unique blend of sedan comfort and SUV-like ride height, powered by a 2.4L four-cylinder engine paired with an all-wheel-drive system and an AV-S6 automatic transmission. Its EPA-estimated 30 MPG combined fuel economy is respectable for its class. However, a high number of recalls, particularly concerning electronic systems, and recurring low-mileage powertrain complaints suggest potential reliability concerns that warrant careful consideration for used-car shoppers. The vehicle has not received overall safety ratings from NHTSA. Potential repair costs are a concern given the high recall count.

Critical Failure Risk

Engine hesitation or stalling, particularly at low mileage.

Early detection can help you avoid a $500-$1,500 repair.
