The Crown name might not mean a lot to most car shoppers in North America, but overseas it’s an icon. And for good reason.


It was the first Japanese car imported into North America and started an automotive revolution. But it wasn’t without some bumps along the way. Toyota learned and improved its models for the US, while overseas the Crown served as a test best for engineering innovation.

It should come as no surprise that decades later, all of this has come together in a unique transportation solution: the Toyota Crown Signia.
