Toyota announces 2026 Toyota Crown pricing for global markets
Originally introduced as a 2023 model, the latest-generation Toyota Crown brought a bold reimagining of the nameplate. Rather than fitting neatly into the sedan or SUV categories, the Crown blends the characteristics of a fastback hatchback and a high-riding crossover. Its sleek proportions, elevated ride height, and luxurious focus make it a unique offering within Toyota's global lineup. One of its defining features is the hybrid powertrain, which is standard across all trims.
For the 2025 model year, Toyota refined the Crown with upgraded standard equipment and debuted a new Nightshade Edition, featuring darkened exterior elements for a sportier appearance. However, for 2026, no design, feature, or mechanical changes have been introduced. As a result, pricing remains identical to the previous year's figures.
Global Pricing Breakdown for the 2026 Toyota Crown
The 2026 Toyota Crown is offered in four trim levels, each maintaining the same price point as its 2025 counterpart. Prices include a destination charge of $1,135 (equivalent to SAR 4,256).
• Crown XLE: $42,575 (SAR 159,656)
• Crown Limited: $47,085 (SAR 176,568)
• Crown Nightshade: $49,900 (SAR 187,125)
• Crown Platinum: $56,125 (SAR 210,468)
This pricing strategy ensures that the Crown remains competitively positioned in the global market for luxury hybrid vehicles.
Engine Options and Performance Specs
One of the most notable aspects of the 2026 Toyota Crown is its bold design choice to feature a unique Crown emblem on the front, replacing the traditional Toyota badge. Under the hood, the top-tier powertrain option continues to offer an advanced hybrid system that marries a turbocharged 2.4-liter 4-cylinder gasoline engine with an electric motor. The gasoline unit produces 268 horsepower and 460 Nm of torque, while the electric motor contributes an additional 82 horsepower and 292 Nm of torque. Combined, they deliver an impressive total output of 345 horsepower and 542 Nm of torque. Power is routed through a 6-speed automatic transmission, providing smooth and responsive performance.
In select markets, Toyota also offers a more efficiency-focused powertrain. This setup features a naturally aspirated 2.5-liter 4-cylinder engine paired with a hybrid system, delivering a combined output of 218 horsepower and 221 Nm of torque. This version is equipped with an electronically controlled continuously variable transmission (E-CVT), offering seamless transitions and improved fuel economy.

Saudi Sovereign Fund Grows Assets 19% to $913 Billion
Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund (PIF) has continued to cement its role as a driving force behind the Kingdom's economic transformation, posting record growth in managed assets and strong financial results in its 2024 annual report. The figures show the fund now contributes 10% of Saudi Arabia's non-oil GDP, with managed assets reaching SAR 3.42 trillion ($913 billion) and more than $171 billion invested in priority sectors since 2021. According to the report, released Wednesday, PIF's managed assets rose 19% year-on-year to SAR 3.42 trillion by the end of 2024, generating an average annual shareholder return of 7.2% since 2017. Revenues climbed 25% over the same period. Liquidity and cash positions remained stable, with the fund maintaining a robust balance sheet. The report highlighted substantial progress in delivering on the fund's strategic investment targets, reinforcing its status as one of the largest and fastest-growing sovereign wealth funds in the world. PIF's cumulative contribution to non-oil GDP from 2021 to 2024 reached SAR 910 billion, with an expected total impact of SAR 1.2 trillion by the end of this year. PIF Governor Yasir Al-Rumayyan said 2024 marked 'a new and promising phase of exceptional performance and qualitative innovation,' characterized by the systematic integration of artificial intelligence, smart automation, and advanced digital capabilities across all operations. He noted that this shift represents not just technological advancement, but a 'transformational approach' in how PIF invests, operates, and delivers economic and social impact globally. For his part, Chief Financial Officer Yasir Alsalman reported that SAR 213 billion were directed to priority sectors in 2024 alone, bringing total investments in such sectors since 2021 to over 642 billion riyals. In turn, Acting Chief Operating Officer and Board Secretary General Maram Al-Johani said PIF maintained its long-term vision while strengthening its influence locally and internationally, continuing to lead Saudi Arabia's economic diversification and generate sustainable returns. The fund's international portfolio expanded further in 2024, targeting sustainable returns through long-term investments and strategic partnerships in key global markets. PIF's overseas investments aim to diversify assets and income streams, secure partnerships with major corporations and investors, and back advanced technologies that support Saudi Arabia's economic ambitions and shape the future global economy. PIF diversified its funding base in 2024, securing SAR 36.855 billion ($9.83 billion) in public loans and nearly SAR 26 billion ($7 billion) in private loans. The fund's stability has earned global recognition, with Moody's upgrading its credit rating from A1 to Aa3 in 2024, and Fitch affirming its A+ rating with a 'stable' outlook. Governance standards also drew praise. PIF scored 96% in the 2024 Governance, Sustainability and Resilience Index from Global SWF — a sharp improvement over 2021 — and ranked first worldwide among 200 sovereign investors, achieving 100% compliance in 2025. It also topped the global list of most valuable sovereign wealth fund brands, with a valuation exceeding SAR 4.13 billion, earning an A+ rating from Brand Finance.
