The rolling hills of Prince Edward County transform into a stunning canvas of gold and crimson each fall, drawing visitors from across Eastern Ontario to experience its wineries, artisan shops, and scenic country roads. For affluent residents and active retirees planning their autumn excursions from Belleville, the all-new 2025 Toyota Crown Signia offers the perfect balance of sophisticated styling and practical capability to make every PEC adventure memorable.
This premium crossover combines car-like refinement with SUV versatility, making it an ideal companion for those leisurely drives along the Loyalist Parkway or navigating the gravel driveways of boutique wineries. The Crown Signia's elevated 655 mm seating position provides excellent sightlines for spotting roadside farm stands, while its whisper-quiet cabin ensures comfortable conversation during the scenic 45-minute drive from Belleville to Bloomfield.
Standard AWD Confidence for County Roads
Prince Edward County's charm lies partly in its rural character, where many of the region's best-kept secrets are accessed via unpaved or gravel roads. The Crown Signia comes standard with Toyota's electronic on-demand AWD system, which employs a separate rear-mounted electric motor to deliver power precisely when needed. Whether you're turning into a hidden winery tucked away on a gravel lane or navigating the occasional rough patch on county roads, this intelligent AWD system provides confident traction without compromising the hybrid's fuel efficiency.
The system's ability to distribute driving force between 100:0 and 20:80 front-to-rear means it operates seamlessly in everyday driving conditions while engaging automatically when road surfaces become challenging. This gives Crown Signia drivers the confidence to explore PEC's more remote attractions without concern about road conditions.
Cargo Space for County Treasures
A successful day in Prince Edward County often results in a vehicle loaded with local discoveries. The Crown Signia's thoughtfully designed cargo area accommodates everything from cases of local wine to baskets from the Wellington farmers market. With 702 L of cargo space behind the rear seats, there's ample room for multiple wine purchases, artisanal food items, and seasonal produce.
For larger hauls, the 60/40 split-folding rear seats create an impressive storage area measuring over 2 metres in length. This feature proves invaluable when transporting larger items like pottery from local artisans or bulk purchases from PEC's renowned farm-to-table establishments. The included tonneau cover keeps purchases secure and out of sight during multiple stops throughout the county.
Hybrid Efficiency for the Journey Home
The Crown Signia's hybrid powertrain delivers an impressive 6.2 L/100 km combined fuel consumption, making those frequent trips to Prince Edward County both economical and environmentally conscious. The 2.5-litre four-cylinder engine works seamlessly with two electric motor-generators to provide smooth, quiet operation that enhances the peaceful country driving experience.
The hybrid system's EV mode allows for silent operation at low speeds, perfect for those early morning drives through sleeping villages or late evening returns when you want to minimize disturbance to wildlife along rural roads.
