Which country made Toyota Crown?

Japan.


The Toyota Crown is a long-running line of full-size sedans produced by Toyota Motor Corporation. It originated in Japan, where the first generation debuted in 1955, and has grown into a global nameplate with many generations. While export versions have reached markets around the world, the Crown's production core has historically been anchored in Japanese manufacturing facilities.


Origins and early development


The Crown began as Toyota's push into a higher-end, family-oriented sedan category. Introduced in 1955 in Japan, the model established Toyota's capability to build larger passenger cars and set the stage for decades of evolution across multiple generations. The design and engineering were led by Toyota's domestic teams, with the Japanese plants serving as the main production sites for most generations throughout the model’s long history.


Global reach and manufacturing footprint


Over the years, Toyota Crown variants have been marketed in many countries, including North America, Europe, Asia, and the Middle East. While the model has enjoyed wide sales overseas, its production backbone has remained in Japan, where Toyota's core assembly lines and supply chains have traditionally supported the Crown. In some periods and regions, local assembly or import variants were introduced to suit local regulations and market demand, but Japan has remained the primary country of manufacture for the Crown line.


Summary


The Toyota Crown is a Japanese-built lineage from Toyota Motor Corporation. Its origin and principal production site are in Japan, and while it has global reach, Japan remains the country most closely associated with its creation and ongoing manufacturing heritage.
