Toronto, Ontario - Toyota Canada unveiled the Toyota Hybrid X and Toyota i-REAL concept vehicles. The Hybrid X is a concept for a future time when vehicles produce zero smog-forming emissions. This four-door, four-seat vehicle was designed at Toyota's European styling centre: it features an open concept interior, a steeply raked windshield with wings covering the headlights to deliver maximum aerodynamic performance, and a roof made almost entirely of glass supported by unique U-shaped A and C pillars that gives the appearance of an X. The rear doors are hinged at the back to create a welcoming entrance, while the independent rear seats swivel to encourage intimate conversation.
The Toyota i-REAL is a single-person concept vehicle that explores the possibilities of personal mobility. This three-wheeled vehicle easily adapts to pedestrian or vehicular traffic, shortening its wheelbase and running upright to minimize its footprint on the sidewalk, then leaning back and stretching its legs for stability in traffic. Joysticks positioned on either side of the i-REAL allow the driver to easily manoeuvre, accelerate or apply braking.
