The Toyota Crown Signia has been updated for the 2026 model year, and only a single physical change has been made. If you choose the Limited trim instead of the cheaper XLE, you can now have two-tone paint, with a black roof on offer atop the base colors of Storm Cloud (grey), Oxygen White, Finish Line Red, or Bronze Age. For the record, the interior comes in either Black or Saddle Tan. Unfortunately, that small change to the more expensive model doesn’t mean that the base MSRP for the cheaper model has been left alone, with the 2026 Crown Signia now starting $300 pricier than before. The XLE now starts at $44,390, while the fancier Limited grade costs $48,790 (both prices excluding the obligatory $1,450 delivery, processing, and handling fee).
2026 Crown Signia Standard Features
Both trims of the Crown Signia come with a 2.5-liter hybrid powertrain sending 240 horsepower to all four wheels. On the XLE, those wheels are 19-inch machine-finished alloys, and inside, the vehicle gets heated and ventilated power front seats with heated outboard seats in the rear. There’s also a 12.3-inch touchscreen with six speakers, and the front windows feature acoustic glass. For the Limited trim, the wheels are two inches bigger with a dark gray metallic finish. The extra $4,400 outlay also buys auto-leveling for the LED headlights, a fixed glass panoramic roof, a digital rearview mirror, a digital key, rain-sensing windshield wipers, and an 11-speaker premium sound system from JBL. The Limited also gets the option of the Advanced Technology Package, adding a 360-degree camera view (which has just been the subject of a recall, by the way), lane change assist, traffic jam assist, front cross-traffic alert, front and rear parking assist with automatic braking, and wing mirrors with puddle lights and a reverse tilt-down feature.
2026 Crown Signia Encroaches On Highlander
As noted at the outset, a $300 price hike is not a huge bump for the SUV, which sits between the RAV4 ($31,310 for 2025) and Highlander ($45,270 for 2026) in Toyota’s range, but it does make the Highlander look all but irrelevant as it officially sits just below the more popular Grand Highlander in Toyota’s SUV hierarchy. Oddly, the Highlander costs more in base form, with the Grand Highlander starting at $41,360 for 2026. These factors seem to suggest that the Highlander’s time may be limited, but if the Crown Signia doesn’t take your fancy and you’re still interested in comparing the bigger pair while they coexist, there are a few major differences to keep in mind. If not, the 2026 Crown Signia arrives at dealers later this year.
