Toyota ‘Stands Out in Every Sense’ in New Crown Family Campaign

Unleashing Power and Precision: Where Bold Sophistication Meets Thrilling Efficiency

PLANO, Texas (Sept. 30, 2024) - Launching today, Toyota's new marketing campaign, "Stand Out in Every Sense," highlights the 2025 Toyota Crown Family in all its glory. From innovative sophisticated design to modern technology and high-end performance - all harmonizing to create a driving experience that engages every sense and elevates the everyday.

The Toyota Crown Family's bold styling, premium comfort and elevated connected technology and features are showcased throughout the campaign, evoking that feeling when you are so captivated by something the world seems to melt away. The all-hybrid Toyota Crown Family offers a combination of power, fuel efficiency, intuitive interior design, and sleek exterior styling, ready to seize the moment.

"This campaign seamlessly captures the elevated experience that our customers can expect from the Toyota Crown Family, including the first-ever Toyota Crown Signia," said Mike Tripp, group vice president of Toyota Marketing. "The 2025 Toyota Crowns' groundbreaking design pushes the boundaries of convention, bringing a bold new aesthetic to our sedan and SUV lineup."

Saatchi & Saatchi created a variety of 6-second and 15-second NLV spots including "Power Play," "Room to Be Alone," and "With a View," as well as a 30-second and 15-second CTV spot "Tango" directed by SMUGGLER's Jaron Albertin. In each spot, the Toyota Crown creates a moment in time outside of how we normally experience life. It's as if nothing else matters.

A brief synopsis of each spot is listed below:

In "Tango," a Toyota Crown and Toyota Crown Signia wait at a city intersection as the drivers take note of each other and their Toyota Crowns, sharing a look of recognition and mutual admiration as their eyes lock. The city soon fades away, leaving the Toyota Crowns alone in a dramatic desert landscape as they circle each other in a bold, synchronized dance, showcasing their design and power. The scene ends where it began, at the intersection, with the drivers sharing a final glance before parting ways.

"Power Play" features the Toyota Crown and Toyota Crown Signia stopping at a busy downtown intersection. The drivers exchange glances, then explore the city as the world melts away. With no one around, they drive through the streets in style, flaunting the Toyota Crowns' performance.

"Room to Be Alone" begins in a busy city park where a couple enjoys a picnic behind their Toyota Crown Signia. As they relax in the spacious cargo area, the park empties, leaving them alone in a serene meadow, savoring the moment as the world fades away.

"With a View" starts with a Toyota Crown cruising down a busy city street as morning sunlight glints off its sleek exterior. Inside, a stylish couple shares a knowing glance. The cityscape fades, replaced by peaceful rolling hills. The camera pulls back outside, revealing the city once more, suggesting the hills represent the comfortable feeling of driving the Toyota Crown.
