The 2023 Toyota Crown, built in Japan, will feature a hybrid powertrain and replace the large Avalon sedan in the brand's U.S. lineup.

Toyota is expected to begin selling a Crown sedan in the U.S. this year, replacing the Avalon, and will bring a hybridized SUV to the U.S. under the nameplate in 2023 to replace the Land Cruiser.

Toyota’s next-gen rally racer features a manual-only transmission as well as a powertrain that allows the driver a choice of front/rear power distribution biases — 60-40, 50-50 or 70-30 — to best suit driving conditions.
