is toyota crown coming to malaysia

The engine sizes of the Toyota Crown vary depending on the model and generation. Here in Malaysia, the current 15th-generation Crown (which has been around since 2018) primarily offers two petrol engine choices: a 2.5-liter inline-four and a 3.5-liter V6. The 2.5-liter variant utilizes Toyota's Dynamic Force engine technology paired with a hybrid system, delivering a combined output of 226 horsepower. Step up to the 3.5-liter V6, and you're looking at a more potent 359 horsepower. Some models even come with all-wheel drive to cater to different driving preferences. It's worth noting that the Toyota Crown, as the brand's flagship sedan, is mainly sold as an imported (CBU) model in Malaysia. Its luxurious appointments and advanced safety tech, such as the Toyota Safety Sense suite – which includes pre-collision systems, lane-keeping assist, and more – have made it quite popular with local consumers. For Malaysian buyers eyeing a luxury sedan, beyond just engine capacity, there's the Crown's unique rear-wheel-drive platform that contributes to its driving dynamics. Also, it's wise to pay attention to the price and specification differences between locally assembled (CKD) and fully imported (CBU) versions, though currently it's mainly CBU here. As always, it's best to check with official Toyota channels for the latest model year specifications, as engine options can sometimes be adjusted in certain markets to meet evolving emission regulations.

So, you're curious about the Toyota Crown's price in Malaysia? Well, here's the deal: the Crown hasn't officially landed in Malaysia through Toyota's official channels yet, so there's no local official pricing to talk about right now. But, if we take a look at neighboring markets like Thailand or Singapore, they're seeing prices in the ballpark of 250k to 350k Ringgit, though that can vary depending on the specs and local taxes. So, if Toyota Malaysia does decide to bring it in, we're probably looking at a similar price range. The Crown, being Toyota's flagship sedan, is all about that premium interior, hybrid know-how, and a super comfy ride. It's a solid pick if you're after something that blends business sophistication with a bit of tech. In Malaysia, it would go head-to-head with the likes of the Honda Accord or Nissan Teana. But what makes the Crown stand out? Think more advanced active safety features, like the TSS 3.0 system, and (for some overseas models) the option of a rear-wheel-drive platform – that's a bit of a unique selling point in this segment. If you've got your eye on the Crown, your best bet is to keep an eye on Toyota Malaysia's official website or check in with your local authorized dealership. When (and if) they do announce plans to bring it in, they'll usually release detailed specs and pricing info well in advance. Oh, and just a heads-up: you might see some Crowns floating around the parallel import market, brought in through grey channels. But if you go that route, definitely be wary of potential issues with warranties and whether the car is properly adapted for our market.
