I’ve been driving the 2025 Toyota Crown for a few months now, and it’s honestly a perfect match for Dubai. It’s this unique mix of a comfortable sedan and a practical SUV. You sit a bit higher, which is great for seeing over traffic on Sheikh Zayed Road, but it still feels smooth and elegant, not like a big truck.

The hybrid engine is the real hero for city life. It’s incredibly quiet and saves a lot of money on petrol, especially with all the stop-and-go traffic. Yet, it has more than enough power when you need to accelerate quickly. Stepping inside from the brutal summer heat, the cabin cools down almost instantly, which feels like a luxury every single time.

For a car that feels so premium, the running costs are very reasonable. Toyota’s network here is huge, so servicing is easy and won’t break the bank. It’s not a car for desert adventures, but for anyone who wants a stylish, comfortable, and smart daily driver for the city, the Crown is an excellent choice. It’s for those who appreciate quality without needing to show off.
