At this auto show, Toyota introduced a series of concept cars and appeared for the first time outside the Japanese market. Of which, the FT-3e Concept was first announced at the Japan Mobility Show 2023 in October 2023.
According to the company, the FT-3e electric car has a capacity of 5 people with dimensions of 4,860 mm x 1,955 mm x 1,595 mm (length x width x height), with a wheelbase of 3,000 mm. This model is built on Toyota's electric vehicle platform, similar to the Lexus LF-ZC and FT-Se EV electric sports car.
Joining the FT-3e is the Land Cruiser SE. The Land Cruiser SE has a traditional SUV design and was also unveiled at Japan Mobility 2023. The difference between the two models is the use of a unibody frame instead of the traditional separate chassis structure of previous Land Cruiser models. However, the car still retains the familiar 3-row seat configuration.
Among the hydrogen-powered vehicles on display at the show was the Hilux FCEV, a double-cab pickup truck with a hydrogen fuel cell powertrain. The Hilux FCEV was inspired by Toyota's Mirai.
The Hilux FCEV has three hydrogen tanks located under the passenger cabin and a fuel cell located in the engine compartment. The electricity generated will be transmitted to the motor mounted on the rear axle. In addition, the vehicle also has a cross-section model placed in the display area.
Finally, the company brought to the exhibition the Kayoibako concept model - an electric commercial van with a flexible interior. The Kayoibako model has dimensions of 3,990 mm x 1,790 mm x 1,855 mm (length x width x height), with a wheelbase of 2,800 mm. According to the company, the name Kayoibako comes from the term for shipping containers that can be configured to minimize waste and suit different needs.
