Toyota refreshes the Crown Royal model with its 14th generation, a model designed for the local market. The Japanese sedan is powered by a 2.5-liter V6 engine while a more potent model called Crown Athlete is offered as well.

The latter benefits from a 3.5-liter V6 engine linked to a six-speed automatic transmission.
