Release of new Crown postponed around autumn
The new Crown officially announced on July 15, 2022. Originally it was planned to start selling at the same time as the announcement, but after interviewing a Toyota dealer, it is said that the release has been postponed.
The announcement was made on July 15th as previously announced, and it will be released around the fall of 2022.
The notice of postponement of the release arrived at the store on July 13th. It seems that the background to this decision is that the number of vehicles that can be produced is limited due to the effects of semiconductor shortages and other factors.

Is it because the production system is not perfect?
Production of the new Crown has already started on July 6th at the Tsutsumi Plant, and is scheduled to begin on August 1st at the Motomachi Plant.
However, about the Motomachi factoryRecall of bZ4X notified in June this yearDue to the investigation of the cause of the problem, the suspension period has been extended.
This incomplete production system may be one of the reasons for the postponement of the release of the new Crown.
Is the new Crown different from previous models?
According to the dealer, the Crown advance schedule is very different compared to other car models.
Originally, if the estimate is scheduled to be lifted on July 15, the vehicle price will be shared about one month before that. However, in the case of the new Crown, it seems that some dealers do not share the vehicle price at all.
It is possible that the release was postponed, and the details were given only to the stores near the headquarters.
The new Crown will finally be unveiled for the first time in the world tomorrow, but we will continue to investigate the follow-up report on its release.
