The Crows trailed early to the Suns but used their experience to claim a comfortable 16.15 (111) to 11.17 (83) victory in front of 13,791 fans at Metricon Stadium.
The win came despite the early loss of Brent Reilly with less than minute gone to a dislocated shoulder.
Reilly's injury forced Crows coach Brenton Sanderson to activate his substitute inside the first quarter but replacement Matthew Wright was one of the key players for the visitors.
Superstar midfielder Patrick Dangerfield, who racked up 27 disposals, was at the heart of everything good for the Crows while Brad Crouch and Ricky Henderson were also strong.
Wright booted four goals, including two in as many minutes in the Crows' dominant seven-goal second quarter, while Jason Porplyzia, Josh Jenkins and Thomas Lynch were the other multiple goalkickers for Adelaide with two each.
Adelaide's second term effort overturned a two-goal quarter-time deficit to give the Crows a 14-point halftime lead.
Gold Coast, led by a best-on-ground display by Dion Prestia, fought back to reduce the margin to eight by the final change but the Crows proved too strong in the fourth quarter against a fading Suns.
Prestia was a ball-magnet throughout, racking up a career-best 42 disposals and booting two goals.

Captain Gary Ablett, with two first-quarter goals and 30 touches, as well as young gun Jaeger O'Meara were also impressive for the Suns.
It wasn't such a good day for Karmichael Hunt, recording just two touches for the game before being subbed at the end of the third quarter in his first game back from a hamstring injury.
