It would suck if the Crown got the "Sienna treatment" and lost any of the 300+ hp powertrain options that it used to have, but then again Toyota these days and the majority of their customers seem to be totally fine with having new gen models lose performance over the previous gen, even if it meant getting up to speed in your usual street driving conditions isn't as effortless and relaxing as it used to be.So according to oriba the new crown hev will use the a25 fxs with 10 speed auto hope that is the base engine
Should be base engine. Current Crown also comes with A25A-FXS and 8GR-FXS.So according to oriba the new crown hev will use the a25 fxs with 10 speed auto hope that is the base engine
Lets hope so though using 2.4 turbo hybrid setup like the prado as the and the plug in hybrid v6 from the tx would have been the best comboShould be base engine. Current Crown also comes with A25-FXS and 8GR-FXS.
Although it's understandable why they might opt for the 2.5l only as the other two powertrains had very low volume sales but since the sedan is now going for a global launch they should aim higherShould be base engine. Current Crown also comes with A25A-FXS and 8GR-FXS.
Because they are relying on electric assist to hide the imperfect calibration. Not much point tuning a perfect ICE if the difference doesn't matter after hybridization.Also one more thing, why is the performance of the 2.4L turbo engine so disappointing? Actually not just the 2.4L turbo engine, many of their other ICE powertrains for regular cars right now seem to be underperforming, their current way of powertrain tuning just sucks.
Audi/VW 4-cylinders are honestly not bad.It's not just TMC all new mid sized to even some full sized sedans are utilizing tiny 4 cylinders and with the exception of BMW most of them suck in tuning be it merc, audi

And more fuel efficient. Too bad there is no TNGA RWD IS sedan with such an engine.Well translation but according to oriba there might also be another hybrid powertrain which will be unveiled a little later and the 2.5l will also a get significant power boost compared to the current output as it would use a more powerful motor and a 10 speed gearbox rather than an ecvt.
Currently the highest output out of the 2.5l is around 250 hp any more than that it's pretty close to t24@265hp which kind of makes it pointless if an na engine could provide that much power with electric assist and not to mention would be a lot smoother without the turbo lag
It probably could seeing how the ls might be on a hiatus for a year or two before it goes full electric and as for the lc it would bring power figures pretty close to the v8 and they probably don't want that specially torqueI don't see the Crown getting a V35a hybrid when even the LS doesn't have that setup.
It has already been soft announced that the GX550h will be 2.4T hybrid. Click the following link and scroll down to "KEY SPECIFICATIONS OF THE NEW GX (PROTOTYPE)"The 8GR in the TX surprised me as well. Do you all think the 8GR would work well for rear drive hybrid applications? Maybe this would work in the Crown Sedan as well. The rumored GX550h might be a 8GR hybrid. I don’t know what sort of transmission setup would be used though…maybe a new version of the multistage setup or the 8 speed AWD setup from the Land Cruiser?
