Overview Like the Crown sedan, the 2026 Toyota Crown Signia SUV is a luxurious vessel for quiet, anxiety-free motoring. All Crown Signia models are hybrid, powered by the same 243-hp four-cylinder electrified powertrain. Performance is average and handling is muted, but the Signia’s target buyer is likely looking for comfort over sporting pretension. Inside, the Crown Signia offers premium materials and a contemporary design that puts Toyota’s latest cabin tech at the driver’s fingertips. A 12.3-inch infotainment display, wireless smartphone connectivity, and a host of driver assists are all standard. For the most premium experience, spring for the Limited trim, which comes with luxuries such as a JBL stereo, a panoramic glass roof, and heated rear seats. If you do, you’ll find the top-spec Signia nearly aligned with luxury-badged SUVs such as the Lexus RX and the Lincoln Corsair.What’s New for 2026?The Crown Signia was a new addition to the Toyota lineup for the 2025 model year, so we expect to see no significant changes for 2026.Pricing and Which One to BuyThe price of the 2026 Toyota Crown Signia is expected to start around $46,000 and go up to $50,000 depending on the trim and options.XLE$46,000 (est)Limited$50,000 (est)The Crown Signia is offered in both XLE and Limited trim levels. Although it’s several thousand dollars more expensive to start, the Limited is the one to get, as it adds a panoramic sunroof, 21-inch wheels, heated rear seats, and an 11-speaker JBL stereo system.Engine, Transmission, and Performance The Crown Signia comes with an all-wheel-drive hybrid powertrain. It uses a 2.5-liter naturally aspirated four-cylinder gasoline engine and three electric motors. This produces a total of 243 horsepower, and a continuously variable automatic transmission is standard. This combination is not exactly exciting, and the engine can drone under hard acceleration, but the Crown Signia is quick enough for highway passing maneuvers in the real world. In our test drive of the Crown Signia, we found it to prioritize quiet and comfortable cruising over engaging handling, which is appropriate for this segment.0–60-MPH TimesAt our test track, the Crown Signia got to 60 mph in 7.0 seconds, a comparable time to other mid-size hybrid SUVs.More on the Crown Signia SUVTowing and Payload Capacity Properly equipped with a tow hitch, the Crown Signia can tow up to 2700 pounds. Rivals such as the Honda Passport and the Toyota 4Runner Hybrid are better options for those who need to tow heavier trailers.Fuel Economy and Real-World MPGThe EPA hasn’t released any fuel economy information for the 2026 Crown Signia yet, but the 2025 model earned ratings of 39 mpg city, 37 mpg highway, and 38 mpg combined. In our 75-mph real-world highway fuel-economy test, it couldn’t match those numbers and achieved only 32 mpg. For more information about the Crown Signia’s fuel economy, visit the EPA’s website.Interior, Comfort, and CargoThe Crown Signia’s interior is similar to the Crown sedan’s, with nice materials and a pleasant-looking dashboard design. The standard upholstery is a combination of cloth and vinyl in the XLE model, but the Limited upgrades to leather seats. The two-row seating setup offers space for five passengers, and there’s a generously sized cargo area that expands when you fold the rear seats. A panoramic sunroof is optional and makes for an airier feel, and both tan and black interior color options are available.The Car and Driver DifferenceInfotainment and ConnectivityA 12.3-inch touchscreen is standard across the board, as is a 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster. The central touchscreen offers wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, plus many other connectivity features including Wi-Fi, over-the-air updates, and a voice assistant. The XLE trim comes with a six-speaker stereo but upgrading to the Limited swaps in an 11-speaker stereo tuned by JBL.How to Buy and Maintain a CarSafety and Driver-Assistance FeaturesMost of Toyota’s latest driver-assistance features are standard equipment on the Crown Signia. All models come equipped with automatic emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, pedestrian detection, blind-spot monitoring, and lane-departure warning with lane-keeping assist. For more information about the Crown Signia’s crash-test results, visit the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) websites. Key safety features include:
- Standard automated emergency braking with pedestrian detection
- Standard lane-departure warning with lane-keeping assist
- Standard adaptive cruise control
Warranty and Maintenance CoverageThe Crown Signia comes with the same warranty coverage as other Toyota models, which isn’t as generous as rivals from Hyundai and Kia. Toyota covers the Crown Signia’s maintenance for the first two years or 25,000 miles, which is a nice benefit that’s not standard on other mid-size crossovers.
- Limited warranty covers three years or 36,000 miles
- Powertrain warranty covers five years or 60,000 miles
- Hybrid components are covered for ten years or 150,000 miles
