The new Toyota Crown Signia Limited brings a fresh, stylish twist to the midsize SUV world, looking almost like a sleek station wagon thanks to its low, sporty stance. Glossy trim highlights the exterior from every angle, giving the Crown Signia a premium look that’s further enhanced by the smallish chrome emblem and “Crown” lettering on the tailgate. Inside, it’s just as practical as it is stylish, with 25.8 cubic feet of cargo space that easily becomes 68.5 when the back seats are folded down. Thoughtful features like the mirrors that automatically fold in at shutdown—one of Stu’s Reviews’ favorite details—show that Toyota paid attention to even the small things. Performance and efficiency are equally impressive. The Crown Signia sprints from 0 to 60 MPH in a quick 7.1 seconds, helped along by paddle shifters and a sport mode that adds a little extra excitement behind the wheel. Despite its spirited performance, it still manages a stellar 39 miles per gallon around town, making it one of the most fuel-efficient options in the midsize SUV category. The Crown Signia Limited is a wonderful Toyota that perfectly blends sporty looks, practicality, and premium touches into one sharp package.
