No model year is one to avoid. All four years, 2023 to 2026, rate excellent, and the gaps between them are small. What differs is how long each has been on the road, which decides how much of a record exists. The 2024 is the year to buy.

2024 Toyota Crown

The 2024 has been on the road long enough to collect complaints and recalls, and it has none of either. The 2025 and 2026 have had less time, so their clean records say less. The 2024 and 2025 sit slightly below the others in rating, but all years remain excellent.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which Toyota Crown years should I avoid?
None. No model year falls well below the Crown's own average, and every tracked year from 2023 to 2026 rates excellent. The differences are small, so choose by condition, mileage, and price rather than by year.
Which Toyota Crown years have transmission problems?
No year has them in the data. Owners have filed no complaints for any model year, transmission or otherwise, and federal recall records list no recalls. A pre-purchase inspection is still worth doing on any used car.
Is the 2025 Toyota Crown a good year?
Yes, it rates excellent. It sits among the lower-rated years, but only slightly, and it has no recalls or complaints. It has had less time on the road than 2024, so its clean record carries less weight.
Is the 2026 Toyota Crown the most reliable year?
It rates highest, but it is too new to call the most reliable. Complaints and recalls build up over time, and a 2026 has had little of it. The 2024 is the safer pick with a longer record.
Should I buy a 2023 or 2024 Toyota Crown?
Both rate excellent with no recalls or complaints, so either is a sound choice. The 2023 rates a little higher, while the 2024 is the site's recommended year. Let price, mileage, and the car's condition decide.
