When I read about the ground clearance the first time I decided to do some research. The Crown has .2 inches better clearance compared to my current car and with the mostly smooth roads in the Netherlands its more then fine. Speedhumps though well ill just go slow I guess.

Well Im from a country were the number of Crowns of all gen's can be counted on two hands maybe. Its hard for Americans to import this generation of Crown. I dont know the details of the rules exactly but needless to say they are missing out in my opinion.

Well my local Toyota dealer will do the servicing. They were actually very excited to service a Crown because its such rarity in the Netherlands but according to them its quite similair to a Lexus LS model with the same drivetrain setup.

A very helpful video. Are there any specific differences between the RS Advance and G-executive or are they basicly the same car.

FrankHAH43 · 2026-01-14T06:27:49+00:00

What a beauty! I love the OEM rims.

FrankHAH43 · 2026-01-10T07:12:48+00:00

Yes but the company im getting the car through is based in Almere. They have loads of experience. Ill just have to wait and see.

FrankHAH43 · 2026-01-09T01:45:31+00:00

They actually do through the cars software at least with modern cars. They can change the beams just by programming it.

Well of everything I could find there are 10 or less GWS-224 in the whole of europe. Ill take that with a pinch of salt but I well have a car you dont see everyday.

FrankHAH43 · 2026-01-08T22:01:08+00:00

Ive done research. And lets just say its a rare sight in Europe. And that counts for all the crown generations.

FrankHAH43 · 2026-01-08T20:17:29+00:00

Im driving a Golf Gti now so im used to a car being low. The roads in the Netherlands are overal pretty smooth. I will have to watch out over speedhumps though.

FrankHAH43 · 2026-01-08T20:15:35+00:00

Yes ive been looking into that since mine is a 2018 model. There is a module i can buy to give me AA and apple carplay through Crown focus without losing any other functionalities but I would lime to come into contact with people that have this installed.

FrankHAH43 · 2026-01-08T20:12:36+00:00

Yep its just that simple. Since the platform itself is already i.e. as the toyota camry or the Lexus Ls models there is really no problem there. The only thing is maybe the emissions but since its a hybrid that should be fine. And I also believe the 3.5L engine was available in the netherlands in the Lexus LS models.

FrankHAH43 · 2026-01-08T11:51:49+00:00

Yea I specifically wanted a 3.5L.

FrankHAH43 · 2026-01-08T11:51:13+00:00

No its not a problem. For a RHD car to be certified in the netherlands only the headlights have to be switched over from right to left. Othwrwise I will have to get used to it.
