■ How will the Crown & Skyline change and evolve?
● The bell of "Great Transformation" rings for traditional brands
The first birth was the 1955 Crown and the 1957 Skyline. Both of them have one of the best history of domestic cars, and now they are at a major turning point.
Both cars have not been officially announced and rumors are ahead, but whatever happens, it is highly unlikely that the same trend will continue.
First of all, the Crown is sure to stop the traditional FR layout and switch to FF. TNGA's GA-K platform for FF, which is used in Lexus ES and Camry, is used.
Considering the history so far, that alone is a big change, but as you know, there are rumors that you will quit the sedan and switch to an SUV.
Information to clarify the truth has not yet been obtained, but as long as we are conducting peripheral coverage at dealers, the possibility seems to be quite high.
On the other hand, there is also information that traditional sedans will be left in addition to SUVs in response to corporate demand.
In this case, there is a possibility that the sedan will be the Crown and the SUV will be the Crown + subname. In both cases, the drive system is FF.
At present, Toyota's next Crown can be said to have all possibilities for FF sedans, SUVs, and FCVs. The image is the expected CG of the fuel cell version
In addition, there is another movement in the Crown, and there is information that the next model will appear as a fuel cell vehicle based on MIRAI. Only MIRAI, which has been reborn as rear-wheel drive, can be regarded as a legitimate form of evolution in a sense.
In this way, definitive information has not yet been obtained, but there is a theory that the next model will appear at the earliest this year, and it seems that development under the surface is progressing considerably.

Expected CG for SUV version. As far as I can follow the information, the next Crown has all these possibilities, and it will change drastically anyway (the image is the predicted CG by the best car editorial department).
