Sporting Toyota’s hybrid synergy drive system, the Toyota Crown HV concept was unveiled at the Tokyo Motor Show, with production and sales expected to begin next year. The rear-wheel-drive Crown Hybrid Concept is equipped with the THS II hybrid powertrain, which has a two-stage motor-speed reduction device that helps with smooth acceleration, increasing fuel efficiency and lowering CO2 emissions. “The difference between the hybrid system in the Crown when compared to the Lexus is that the hybrid Lexus motor is geared for power, as it is a Sport model, this Crown hybrid, in the same vein as the Prius, was designed for greater mileage and to be more environmentally friendly.” It also features Vehicle Dynamics Integrated Management traction control for vehicle stability and active steering to balance drive power, steering and braking. Other features include a TFT LCD “Finegraphic Meter” display, providing the driver with easy to see and understand information and 10 SRS airbags, heightening the vehicles safety performance levels.
