The Toyota Crown won’t change much for the 2025 model year. The high-riding full-size sedan with the standard hybrid powertrain and all-wheel drive is still relatively new to Americans and lacks little. But Toyota will introduce a blacked-out Nightshade Edition.
Nightshade is Toyota’s term for a car with all the brightwork redone in muted black. They’re all the rage in car design. Nissan makes Midnight Editions. Kia makes Nightfall Packages. Hyundai must have raced to the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office first and gets to call them Night Editions.
Whatever you call them, when they’re done right, they can look refined and elegant. The Crown Nightshade gets the less-powerful of two hybrid drivetrains, good for 236 horsepower. It wears blackened molding, 21-inch matte black wheels, black mirror caps, and black door handles.
Its equipment list comes from the mid-grade Limited trim, meaning a fixed panoramic roof, 11 speakers rather than six, and front and rear parking assist.
The Nightshade isn’t the only change for 2025. But it’s almost the only change. Toyota says the range-topping Platinum trim level gets enhanced with a new head-up display.
