This Black Edition is all about thoughtful details and practical luxury. Love the power fold outside mirrors – they’re black, too! They blend seamlessly with the SUV’s sleek, dark exterior. The cabin is filled with smart interior appointments, including a unique center-row console that can be stowed neatly under the floor in the rear, keeping the four-bucket configuration clutter-free.

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.
The Mazda was the subject of a review on Pirate Radio in Greeley:“The 2025 Mazda CX-50 is an impressive crossover that blends style, efficiency, and practicality. Its eye-catching “Ingot” deep blue paint adds a premium touch, making it stand out on the road. The smooth CVT transmission, enhanced with paddle shifting, offers a refined driving experience, whether you’re cruising through town or hitting the highway. Fuel efficiency is outstanding, consistently delivering over 37 mpg in all driving conditions—an exceptional feat for a vehicle in this class. Despite its sub-$42k price tag, the CX-50 comes generously equipped with features that elevate comfort and convenience.
Among its standout amenities, the flatbed phone charging pad, located somewhat inconspicuously under the center console access doors, eliminates the need to charge your device before leaving home, while seamless Apple CarPlay integration enhances connectivity on the go. The thoughtful addition of power folding exterior mirrors – that automatically signal the vehicle is locked – provides an extra layer of security and convenience. With its combination of efficiency, tech-forward features, and stylish design, the 2025 Mazda CX-50 proves to be a well-rounded and compelling choice in the crossover segment.”
