The Dawn of Sophistication: The 2026 Toyota Crown Signia
The automotive landscape is shifting, and the 2026 Toyota Crown Signia is leading the charge. Replacing the traditional SUV silhouette with a sleek, fastback-inspired profile, the Crown Signia is designed for the Canadian driver who refuses to choose between the elegance of a sedan and the versatility of a crossover. At West Coast Toyota, we are proud to introduce this flagship hybrid that redefines what a premium Toyota feels like.
This month, we are excited to offer an exclusive low payments on select 2025 Toyota Crown Signia models right here in our Pitt Meadows showroom.
Performance Meets Efficiency: The Hybrid Advantage
Under the hood, the 2026 Crown Signia features the proven Toyota Hybrid System (THS). Combining a 2.5-litre four-cylinder engine with two electric motor-generators, it delivers a potent 240 net combined horsepower.
For Canadian winters, the Electronic On-Demand All-Wheel Drive (AWD) comes standard. This system utilizes a dedicated rear electric motor to provide instantaneous traction when things get slippery, without the mechanical drag of a traditional driveshaft. The result? An impressive estimated combined fuel consumption of just 6.2 L/100km, allowing you to bypass the pumps more often on your commute through Greater Vancouver.
A Sanctuary on Wheels: Interior & Technology
Step inside, and the "Signia" name, derived from "Insignia", becomes clear. This is a cabin crafted with premium materials. Available leather-trimmed seats with double-stitching and quilted inserts offer a level of luxury previously reserved for the Lexus line.
The tech-forward dashboard is anchored by a 12.3-inch Toyota Multimedia Touchscreen. With wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ compatibility, your digital life integrates seamlessly. Audiophiles will appreciate the available 11-speaker JBL® Premium Audio system, specifically tuned to the Crown Signia’s acoustic profile to provide a concert-hall experience on the 401 or the Sea-to-Sky Highway.
Unmatched Versatility
While the exterior screams "Executive Sedan," the interior provides "SUV Utility." The second-row seats fold completely flat to reveal a 6.5-foot long cargo area. Whether you are loading skis for a weekend in Whistler or premium groceries for a dinner party, the hands-free power liftgate makes loading effortless. With a 2,700-lb towing capacity, the Crown Signia is also ready to haul your light trailer or jet skis for summer adventures.
Safety First with TSS 3.0
Safety remains a Toyota cornerstone. The 2026 Crown Signia is equipped with Toyota Safety Sense 3.0, our most advanced suite of active safety features. This includes:
- Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection
- Full-Speed Range Dynamic Radar Cruise Control
- Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist
- Proactive Driving Assist (PDA) for gentle braking into curves
