Toyota Crown luxury hybrid saloon

The Crown luxury hybrid vehicle could best be described as Toyota’s version of the Lexus LS600h hybrid flagship saloon. Engineers have packed the vehicle with the latest technologies from Toyota’s research labs and then added an opulent leather and woodgrain interior.

The concept showcases Toyota’s latest VDIM (Vehicle Dynamics Integrated Management) hybrid drive system. It has a two-stage motor speed reduction device that helps achieve smooth acceleration, high fuel efficiency, low CO2 and other exhaust emissions and quietness.

Occupants are treated with a LCD “Finegraphic Meter” interface system as well as ten airbags. Other safety features include active steering control as well as traction and stability control.
