It’s worth adopting as a special edition vehicle.
This is common in Mercedes-Benz and other cars, but it is often used as a special edition vehicle. In some cases, it is made into a limited edition vehicle because it is easy to create a special feeling and matte black paint is difficult to apply.
The specially designed Matte Metal color (1M1) with special surface treatment [TM Coat] is a color that Toyota developed through trial and error, and we hope that it will be adopted as a special edition vehicle not only for the Crown Crossover but also for many other car models.
