Toyota Crown Signia or Lexus NX?

I’m deciding between the new Crown Signia and the Lexus NX. The Crown Signia looks great and seems to have a bigger cabin, especially in the back seat. Only thing is, it’s priced around the same as the NX. Do you think it’s worth it to go with the Crown, or should I go with the Lexus?

The Crown Signia definitely has a great look, though the NX isn’t bad either.

I’d go with the Signia! Way more unique. NXs are all over the place.

If you need space, the Crown Signia wins. It’s a much more practical option for a family car compared to the NX.

I think the Crown’s rear seat legroom is usually rated as lower, though.

I’d go for the Crown if you’re after a bigger cabin. Personally, the NX doesn’t appeal to me.

Both the NX 350h AWD and Crown Signia are hybrids with AWD, but the NX might require premium gas, while the Crown runs on regular.

Actually, the NX 350h uses the RAV4 Hybrid’s powertrain, so it runs fine on regular gas.

Got it. Lexus’ site and FuelEconomy.gov seem to show premium is recommended, though, which is confusing.

According to the owner’s manual, 91 is recommended but not required—87 is fine unless it explicitly says 91 is required.

@Brenner
Makes sense. Similar to how some turbocharged models recommend premium but can run on regular without issues.

Lexus often suggests premium for slightly better performance and fuel economy, but it’ll run just fine on regular.

I’d go for the Signia. Better UI and made in Japan—definitely a plus for me.

I had the same choice to make and went with the Crown Signia. Love it!

The cabin felt more spacious, and the trunk is roomy. I also loved the design and sound system. It just felt smoother overall.

Thanks! Did you get the XLE or Limited?
