Overview

The 2014 Toyota Crown is a premium executive sedan that sits above the Camry in Toyota’s Japanese lineup. In Sri Lanka, it is mostly imported as a used JDM model and is popular among buyers seeking luxury, comfort, and a strong road presence without moving to a European brand. Known for its smooth ride and refined cabin, the Crown is often used as a chauffeur-driven car or a comfortable long-distance cruiser. Available with both petrol and hybrid powertrains, the Crown offers a balance of performance and efficiency. Local buyers appreciate its solid build quality, quiet cabin, and the reputation for long-term reliability that comes with Toyota’s higher-end models.

Pros

Extremely comfortable ride quality

Quiet, well-insulated cabin

Strong engine performance with smooth power delivery

Premium interior feel and build quality

Cons

Large size makes city parking challenging

Fuel consumption higher than smaller sedans (petrol version)

Maintenance costs higher than basic Toyota models

JDM infotainment often needs local conversion

Driver Insights

4
out of 5

Local drivers describe the 2014 Toyota Crown as a calm, confident sedan that feels most at home on highways and on long-distance trips. The steering is light yet stable, and the suspension smooths out rough surfaces effectively. Many owners say the Crown is less tiring to drive than smaller sedans, especially on extended trips. In city traffic, the size is noticeable, but smooth throttle response and a refined gearbox help keep driving stress low. Hybrid variants are especially appreciated for their quiet, electric-assisted low-speed driving.

Exterior Design

The 2014 Crown features a clean, elegant design with a strong executive presence. Its long bonnet, wide stance, and sharp character lines give it a dignified rather than a sporty look. Chrome accents and large alloy wheels enhance its premium appeal. While not flashy, the design ages well and still looks upscale on Sri Lankan roads. Ground clearance is manageable for city use, but drivers should be cautious on steep entrances and uneven surfaces.
