A new body color, Massive Gray (1L6) , has also been added. This color originally started out as an exclusive color for the “Voxy”, but has now been added to the “Corolla Cross” and various other models.
The interior will have an improved texture, with parts that have a major impact on the impression of the interior, such as the shift panel and door switch bases, being changed from mainly matte painted materials to a glossy finish. It is also expected that the paint colors of the inside door handles and cup holders will be changed to create a more unified look.

The previously used “microcomputer-controlled tilt and slide electric moonroof” will be replaced with a “panoramic roof.” While it could be opened and closed up until now, it can no longer be opened and closed, but it will ensure a sense of openness and brightness inside the vehicle.

A word from the editorial team about the new Toyota Crown Crossover, partially improved 2024 model
This marks the first facelift for the Crown Crossover, and with the release of the Crown Estate scheduled for around June 2024, the entire Crown series will now be available. While the Crown Crossover initially seemed unfamiliar, over the past two years it’s gradually become more familiar. Personally, I’ve begun to appreciate the Crown Crossover’s cool design. This facelift incorporates interior features adopted over the past two years on the Crown Sedan and Crown Sport, and the revised grades further enhance the Crown Crossover’s appeal. The impactful second special edition model will likely be a hot topic. Personally, I sincerely hope the Crown Crossover becomes even more popular.
