Limited or Platinum: which hybrid should I pick?
For 2027 the Crown Limited moves to Toyota's fifth-generation hybrid system, a 2.5-litre engine with front and rear electric motors and an eCVT, rated at 236 hp on toyota.ca. The Platinum keeps Hybrid MAX, a 2.4-litre turbo engine with a six-speed automatic, making 340 net combined hp and 400 lb-ft, according to Toyota Canada. The Limited uses less fuel; the Platinum is the quicker, more powerful choice. One viewer summed up the choice: "A sedan with amazing mpg or a sedan with amazing power and good mpg."
Drive the Limited and the Platinum back to back on the highway, and compare how each feels when merging and passing.
