Toyota Crown Crossover Landscape Is an All-Terrain Trim for Japan
Toyota is beefing up the Crown in Japan with a new Landscape special edition.
All-terrain tires, wheel arches with exposed rivets, and an optional roof rack complete the adventurous look.
The Crown Landscape will most likely not be offered in the United States.
Toyota retired the full-size Avalon sedan in 2022 after a nearly 30-year run, replacing it with the high-riding Crown, which can't quite decide if it wants to be a sedan or an SUV. Now Toyota is decidedly moving towards the latter with a new special edition for the Japanese market. The new Landscape trim, which gets jacked up even further, wears all-terrain tires and is offered with an optional roof rack.
An All-Terrain Crown
Toyota sells a whole family of Crown vehicles in Japan, where the version that we receive stateside is called the Crown Crossover. The Crown Crossover Landscape arrives for 2024 with a roughly one-inch lift, and it's fitted with tough-looking 18-inch wheels shod in 245/60 all-terrain rubber. There's also beefier wheel arches in a matte finish with exposed rivets, and red mud flaps are tacked on behind all four wheels.
The Landscape also comes standard with a tow hitch, capable of pulling up to 1653 pounds. All Landscapes are painted in Urban Khaki, a neat light green hue, with gloss black accents on the hood, trunk, and door trim. There are also rear fog lights on either side of the license plate.
For those who want to go all-in on the outdoorsy look, Toyota is offering its Japanese customers a roof rack, shown here loaded up with gear. The cabin is mostly unchanged, but a black trim piece on the dashboard features neat "Landscape" branding etched in, with the A's represented by mountains.
The Landscape is offered exclusive with the Hybrid Max powertrain, which combines a turbocharged 2.4-liter four-cylinder with an electric motor on the rear axle for a total of 340 horsepower. At current conversion rates, the Crown Crossover Landscape costs the equivalent of just over $45,000 in Japan. Sadly, we don't expect this aggressive-looking upgrade to be offered on the U.S.-market Crown.
