Introduced in November 2023, the new Crown sedan combines a 2.5L A25A-FXS petrol engine with Toyota’s newly developed multi-stage hybrid transmission. Its 3,000mm wheelbase, rear-wheel-drive layout and spacious rear cabin distinguish it from Crown Crossover, Crown Sport and the earlier S220 Series sedans.
The eligible launch-period AZSH32 hybrid grade was Z (HEV). Toyota launched the later Z “THE LIMITED-MATTE METAL” special edition on 2 June 2025, after the February 2025 end of the cited MRE-000965 scope. Likewise, the later factory G grade is not within that report’s stated date range. They must not be displayed as importable factory grades under MRE-000965. The hydrogen fuel-cell Crown sedan (KZSM30) is also a separate powertrain and chassis.
Under the currently cited MRE-000965, eligible AZSH32 builds are 11/2023–02/2025, subject to exact report scope and compliance requirements. The SEVS listing may be broader, but this page must not imply that later special editions are eligible through this report.
Example landed and complied pricing on this page starts from about $50,700 AUD, with a recent auction-based median around $67,200 AUD (AUD 1 = JPY 105). Not a quote.

For the build dates supported by MRE-000965, Z Hybrid is the original Japanese-market AZSH32 grade. Later special editions should not be mistaken for eligible launch-period grades.
| Toyota factory grade | Production relevance | What to look for |
|---|---|---|
| Z (HEV), AZSH32 | Original November 2023 launch grade; within cited MRE date range when build month matches | 2.5L multi-stage hybrid, rear-wheel drive, executive rear seating and Toyota’s Crown sedan comfort technology. Original factory options should be checked on the specific car. |
Later factory versions outside this Model Report: Toyota introduced Z “THE 70th” and Z “THE LIMITED-MATTE METAL” in June 2025, with a later G Hybrid version. These vehicles fall outside the November 2023–February 2025 build-date range of MRE-000965 and are not eligible examples under that report. Factory features vary by production date and grade.
Launch-period Z Hybrid comfort and equipment. Confirm fitment on the individual car.
| Equipment / option | What buyers should know |
|---|---|
| Spacious rear cabin | The 3,000mm wheelbase was designed for rear-passenger comfort. Rear relaxation functions and powered sunshades were part of Toyota’s equipment offering; verify exact option fitment on the Japanese car. |
| Ride comfort | Toyota’s Adaptive Variable Suspension controls damping to support a smooth, stable ride. |
| Cabin ambience | Woodgrain-style spanning trim and 64-colour indirect ambient lighting are part of the launch specification described by Toyota. |
| Hybrid convenience | Two AC100V/1,500W accessory outlets and Toyota’s multi-stage hybrid system distinguish the hybrid from the separate hydrogen FCEV. |
| Factory options | Optional appearance, rear-cabin amenities and specific assistance/audio equipment must be confirmed from the observed build specification rather than presumed from photographs. June 2025 special-edition features do not apply to earlier Z Hybrid cars within the cited Model Report window. |
