[edit] Design
It is very comfortable as its name suggests, despite its small dimensions (Short Model=4,590 mm x 1,695 mm x 1,515 mm,Long Model=4,695 mm x 1,695 mm x 1,515 mm). It has a boxy design compared to its predecessor, Toyota Crown, as well as a high-mounted hood, which allows its longitudinal engine to be placed forward, allowing for more passenger space.
The rear seat has height clearance as much as 1.0 m from the cushion, and the knee clearance is about 0.6 m, comparable to European full-size sedans like Mercedes-Benz S-Class. The seat width is about 1.4 m.
It also has ample luggage space.
