Toyota will roll out two new battery electric vehicle concepts at the Japan Mobility Show in Tokyo at the end of this month.

The SUV-type FT-3e and the sports-focused FT-Se hope to accelerate the automaker’s footprint in the BEV market. In a release, the automaker said: “Toyota believes that future mobility will go beyond providing physical transportation tools to become a lifestyle partner closely aligned with each customer’s personal values.”

FT-3e Concept main features and design:

  • A next generation BEV concept that will offer new driving experiences and personalized services, powered by innovative technologies.

  • A vehicle that contributes to achieving carbon neutrality and creating a better world by connecting to society as a transfer medium for energy and data from itself and its surroundings.

  • An exterior design that combines advanced styling and aesthetics, while keeping body lines and surfaces as simple as possible.

  • Digital displays extending from the lower side of the body to the upper door section present information, including battery state of charge and interior temperature and air quality, when the driver approaches the car.

FT-Se Concept main features and design:

  • A high-performance sports BEV model proposed as one of the options for sportscars in the carbon-neutral era, incorporating experience gained from Toyota Gazoo Racing’s efforts to make ever-better cars through motorsports.

  • Pursuing further handling stability and aerodynamic performance, the FT-Se shares major components with the FT-3e. Toyota set out to create a car that will grow with the driver through software updates.

  • Wide and low proportions and a sleek, cutting-edge silhouette reduce aerodynamic drag.

  • A next generation cockpit features intuitive controls and contributes to a more immersive driving experience.

  • A low instrument panel profile ensures high visibility for the driver. New-design kneepads protect the body from G-forces.
