Yes, the Toyota Crown shares a similar platform with some Lexus models. The latest generation of the Toyota Crown (S220, S230) is based on Toyota’s GA-K platform, which is part of the TNGA (Toyota New Global Architecture) family.

Lexus Models on the Same GA-K Platform:

Several Lexus models also use the GA-K platform, including:

• Lexus ES (XZ10)

• Lexus RX (AL30, partially shared)

• Lexus NX (AZ20)

However, higher-end Lexus models (such as the LS, LC, and LX) are built on different platforms (GA-L or body-on-frame TNGA-F).

Key Differences:

1. Luxury vs. Mainstream Tuning: While they share a platform, Lexus models typically have more premium materials, refined suspension setups, and soundproofing.

2. Powertrain Options: Some Lexus models have more powerful engine options, such as V6s and plug-in hybrids, while the Crown focuses more on hybrid efficiency.

3. Chassis Tuning: Lexus models often have a more comfort-oriented or performance-focused suspension, while the Crown balances sportiness and comfort.

Conclusion:

Yes, the Toyota Crown shares its GA-K platform with several Lexus models, most notably the Lexus ES and Lexus RX/NX, but Lexus vehicles generally have more luxury-oriented refinements.
