Innovation and design set the tone for new Toyota models.

  • Yaris T Sport, a new sports concept
  • Newly improved version of Prius
  • Urban Cruiser, bold concept for a mini SUV by Toyota ED2
  • Fine-T and i-swing, Toyota’s latest mobility concepts

Just a few weeks after the European launch of the new Toyota Yaris range, Toyota will unveil a high performance concept of its best selling model at the Geneva motor show.

The T Sport is powered by a 1.8-litre engine, the biggest ever to be installed on this model. New bumpers, radiator grille, alloy wheels and modified suspension convey a more aggressive look, adding to the essence of this sports concept.

Newly improved Prius
The world’s best selling hybrid car gets a makeover for the 2006 model year. A fresh new look is complemented by even more innovation, improved driving dynamics and additional interior refinements.

The main highlight is the Intelligent Park Assist (IPA) system, another European-first available in Prius – is unique and simple to operate, allowing the driver to select the target parking spot and then control the speed, while the car steers itself.

Urban Cruiser, bold new concept for a mini SUV
The Urban Cruiser is a design exercise by ED2, Toyota’s European design studio, for a futuristic mini SUV.

This concept car draws heavily on Toyota’s heritage in Sports Utility Vehicles but also adds its own dynamic flair and rugged originality. The Urban Cruiser also features a fresh interior style inspired on trendy furniture.

Rethinking the automobile: Fine-T and i-swing
Two advanced concepts offer glimpses of the future and reveal how Toyota can minimise environmental impact while providing transport solutions.

Toyota I-swing concept 2005
The Fine-T is the next step in fuel-cell hybrid vehicles and offers the cabin space of an Avensis within the approximate exterior dimensions of a Yaris. An independent four-wheel large-angle steering system confers an extremely tight turning radius, impossible to achieve with any conventional car.

The i-swing is a new evolution in personal mobility, offering a more direct form of human-machine interaction by adopting the latest technologies in IT robotics.

The Toyota press conference will take place on the 28th of February, at 13:30, Hall 4.
