Toyota Crown Baggage Take a look at: How massive is the trunk?

The Toyota Crown is much less of an Avalon alternative and extra like Toyota’s reply to the Nissan Maxima. As a substitute of being appreciably larger than the Camry, it has a extra expressive design. Not like the Maxima, although, it is not likely extra luxurious inside than the 2025 Camry and it truly has a worse normal powertrain: the fourth-generation hybrid system versus the considerably improved fifth technology. 

After which there’s the trunk. Frankly, given the physique form and the way little consideration I’ve heretofore paid to the Toyota Crown, I had assumed it was an Audi A7-style liftback. Flawed. It has an everyday outdated sedan trunk. It measures 15.2 cubic-feet, which is 0.1 dice smaller than the 2025 Camry. It’s also 0.1 dice smaller than the sorta-previous-generation Camry, which I baggage examined right here. Let’s simply assume the subsequent technology can be successfully the identical. 

Two notes about this area. First, it has egg crusher hinges, however not like these within the final Camry, they’re sheathed in plastic as a result of the Crown is fancier. It additionally has the little back-seat-folding pulls, which may typically impede loading. The Crown’s trunk is tall sufficient, although, that I did not discover it did.

Additionally, I made a decision to get all Dan Edmunds right here and use arrows to point that the ground oddly slopes down on the left aspect. This did not actually make a distinction when loading luggage, however I assumed it was bizarre, so there it’s.

Nicely take a look at that, a spare tire. 

OK, let’s get to the baggage. As with each Baggage Take a look at, I take advantage of two midsize curler suitcases that might have to be checked in on the airport (26 inches lengthy, 16 huge, 11 deep), two black roll-aboard suitcases that simply barely match within the overhead (24L x 15W x 10D), and one smaller inexperienced roll-aboard that matches simply (23L x 15W x 10D). I additionally embody my spouse’s fancy in a single day bag simply to spruce issues up a bit (21L x 12W x 12D).

Step 1. The brink (?) of the trunk pass-through is only a bit taller than my inexperienced bag, that means I might fill what would in any other case be the open, triangular area brought on by the opposite luggage being too tall to suit. The blue bag there is likely one of the largest luggage, however I ended up placing it in a special ultimate location. 

Step 2. Keep in mind, the inexperienced bag continues to be again there. This is able to be the massive blue bag and the 2 medium luggage stacked on high of one another. It is uncommon that I can stack these luggage atop one another in a trunk, which speaks to this trunk’s top. 

I must also be aware that the flamboyant bag seems to be squished, but it surely’s simply deflated. If it was full it could match.

Importantly, although, there’s truly sufficient area right here the place I might have at the very least positioned a second inexperienced bag if I owned one. 

Step 3: End the job with the largest bag. Voila! All the baggage match contained in the Toyota Crown with, as you possibly can see within the backside proper nook, an honest quantity of area left over. A extra inflexible bag like the flamboyant bag could not match, however two soft-side duffels would. Additionally, do not forget that a much bigger bag would’ve match the place the flamboyant bag did. 

So this is a wonderful consequence for a midsize sedan. It isn’t fairly to the Accord stage, which may swallow a cooler along with all the baggage, but it surely’s higher than a number of SUVs.

What in regards to the Camry? Sadly, after doing this I spotted I did one thing completely totally different with the Camry 4 years in the past. I subsequently ran all the way down to the storage and shortly redid this take a look at, utilizing the identical objects I used for the Camry and tried the identical Tetris formation.

That is the Camry up there. I clearly didn’t attempt to put the small curler within the again (small inexperienced bag equaled small blue again then). This was the area left over because of this.

I then moved the flamboyant bag ahead and as a substitute of imagining a much bigger curler bag, I went to another prop: my Thule Spring stroller.

Camry on the left, Crown on the precise, similar formation. 

As you possibly can see, all of it slot in each vehicles, however the fancy bag was a bit squished within the Crown. Due to this fact, the Camry is certainly ever-so-slightly larger. They each, nonetheless, nonetheless managed to carry six luggage and a stroller. That is fairly good.

Why did not I simply go together with this consequence initially? Nicely, I’ve not used the stroller a lot over time (I actually cannot consider one other occasion, however then I’ve finished 150ish of those so who is aware of), significantly with different midsize sedans. Due to this fact, the primary result’s extra of the official one and this one is extra to point out how related the Crown’s trunk is to the Camry’s. 

P.S. As an apart, I simply seen the tag was nonetheless on the stroller once I did this take a look at. My son would not even be born for one more month and alter. He’ll be turning 4 subsequent week. So will the stroller, which has been incredible by the way in which. Yay Thule Spring.
