The AWS210 Crown was redesigned in 2012, replacing the older V6 engines in hybrid models with this 2.5L 2AR-FSE engine to improve fuel economy while still maintaining strong performance through hybrid assistance.
This engine works with Toyota’s hybrid system where:
- The petrol engine handles steady cruising

- Excellent fuel economy (hybrid efficiency focus)
