Toyota will be exhibiting at the Japan Mobility Show 2023, to be held from Thursday, October 26 to Sunday, November 5, with a booth themed "Let's Change the Future of Cars―Find Your Future."

In this first announcement of models to be exhibited at the booth, Toyota reveals some of the design details for two battery electric vehicle (BEV) concept models - the SUV-type Toyota FT-3e and the sporty Toyota FT-Se.

The FT-3e is a next-generation BEV concept model with an exterior design that combines both advanced styling and aesthetics while keeping the lines and surfaces that make up the body as simple as possible. Digital displays running from the lower side body to the upper door provide information, including battery charge, onboard temperature, and interior air quality when the driver approaches the car.

The FT-Se shares major components with the FT-3e, incorporating the expertise gained in TOYOTA GAZOO Racing's efforts to make ever-better cars through motorsports. Wide and low proportions, along with a sleek, cutting-edge silhouette, reduce aerodynamic drag. Its next-generation cockpit offers intuitive controls and a more immersive driving experience. A low instrument panel profile ensures high visibility. Newly designed kneepads protect the body from G-forces during driving.

The two concept models will present a future transformed by electrification and intelligence, along with the new experience value offered by cars. Toyota believes that future mobility will go beyond providing physical transportation tools to becoming a lifestyle partner closely aligned with each customer's individual values. Alongside the highly responsive controls and captivating designs unique to BEVs, these models evolve into one-of-a-kind cherished vehicles by offering the joy of personal ride customization, as well as convenient functions for stress-free browsing of local area information while onboard.
