16th Generation Toyota Crown (Sedan, Cross, Sport, Estate/Signia)

[maiaramdan]

What is the possibility of a next-gen GS with that Crown sedan platform? What if the whole reason for the previous gen being cancelled and turned into Mirai was the early platform being too compromised 🤔

Possibility is zero unfortunately
They won't take crown to be international funky to return back the GS

LS needs to stay even if it evolve into EV but GS unfortunately not

@Gor134 I don’t think so… With a possible ES500h, I don’t see any business case for the GS, or even an LS…

Above the TI4 Hybrid there is a TTV6 Hybrid. But it is true, the ES will be a unique product that no carmaker can compete with, the IS BEV will take care of the EV space.

It would be nice to see a GS500 with ttv6. Heck GSF with IFORCEMAX powertrain. But I sadly don't see any new ICE rwd cars from Lexus. A new TNGA IS would be cool.

Neither ES or even GS shall be more upscale than the Crown, and I don't think the next ES will be more upscale than the Crown and it maybe retain the low slung sedan

I thought the current LS, LC, and upcoming sport coupe would be the last RWD products from Toyota. But them continuing RWD with the Crown was a huge surprise for me... so I won't complain if there's a few more RWD surprises from Lexus yknow..

Well we've already seen the IS ev concept, GS is dead and likely not coming back, I'm guessing 6LS will be an ev. But I'll leave my last judgment until I see what kinda powertrains are in the rwd Crown sedan.

 

[maiaramdan]

Crown and Century need to always be FR, maybe both will be the last to be EV, and even if EV they will remain a rwd biased

The sedan will likely be called Crown Majesta (which BestCar speculates is under development). These dimensions are proof it's not a S220 refresh, since the S220 uses a special narrowbody platform (often mistakenly called "GA-N") that is 1800mm wide. This is based on a stretched Mirai GA-L platform. This is more closely related to the Mirai and cancelled GS than the S220 Crown.

The wheelbase stretch is typical for the Majesta trim. Also fits rumors that ChDM will import the new Crown as its new flagship. FAW have always avoided calling the Avalon a flagship sedan but rather a Camry competitor.

Let's hope it doesn't just use carryover powertrains from S220. iForce Max is a bit too optimistic, but even with just a V35 it will be quite good.

Cars are proportionate, we can see the longer rear door due to 8 cm longer wheelbase.

 

[maiaramdan]

Nearly same wheels

The Toyota Crown Estate shows that Toyota also will follow the split headlight trend -- at least for some models. I think we can expect this on Lexus too.

Interesting because the GS and Crown always shared platforms. The Mirai is LS based so the Crown here moved to being LS based.

real world

 

[maiaramdan]

More interesting is that the one tone non higher trim looks more upscale and sporty especially in this white with the modelista rims

 

[NXracer]

In regards to the a new Lexus sedan inbound....the top right next to the next gen GX still remains in the shadows, and whether it launches as a MY24 or MY25 and what segment depends. MY24 seems like a CUV-SUV year.

 

[Gor134]

I'm betting on MY24 for the next-gen ES as it's switching to Japan for production alongside the Crown Cross
