TOYOTA CROWN
■ The Crown, a quintessential part of Toyota's automotive legacy, has graced the roads of Japan since its inception in 1955. As a hallmark of midsize luxury cars, the Crown stands as an upmarket offering within the Toyota lineup.
■ The history and reputation of the Crown have solidified its place in the Toyota lineup, marked by its unique insignia - a stylised crown emblem adorning the grille and steering wheel. This legacy has also inspired the names of its smaller counterparts, such as the Corona, Corolla, and Camry.
■ The Crown, initially introduced as the Toyopet Crown, has maintained its status as the mainstream sedan in the Japanese market since 1955. It holds the distinction of being the longest-running passenger-car nameplate in Toyota's history.
