The Toyota i-Road is a concept car first shown at the March 2013 Geneva Motor Show.

One charge has a range of 50 km (31 mi) and a top speed of 45 km/h (28 mph). It is designed for city use.[72] It has no emissions at point of use. The vehicle is designed with 3 doors and 2 seats in tandem in a fully enclosed body.
Car and Driver describes the Toyota i-Road as "something of a cross between a car, a motorcycle, and a fancy golf cart".[73] It is similar to the concept of a motorcycle but has three wheels.[74] Toyota has developed what it calls "Active Lean", a new technology that helps provide the centripetal force to make the vehicle go around a corner and smooths the ride over rough ground.[75] "Active Lean" operates using an on-board computers on each side of the front suspension to calculate the degree of lean needed based on input from the steering mechanism, the gyroscope angle and speed. To compensate for road conditions, a front wheel is adjusted up or down as needed to stabilise the vehicle.[74][76] According to Wired, this technology "allows you to bomb through the bends without tipping over."[76]
Toyota refers to it as a "personal mobility vehicle".[73] The width is 850 mm (33.5 in), approximately the same width as a motorcycle, and four of these vehicles can be parked in a single parking space.[77] It seats two people in an enclosed cabin that protects the occupants from the environment.[75] Its turning radius is about 2.7 m (9 ft).
Currently, the Toyota i-Road is a concept car envisioned for urban use in the future, and there are no plans for general production at this time,[74][76] although it was announced in March 2013 that 70 i-Roads would be deployed in Grenoble as part of a last-mile mobility project.[78] The project will be managed within an existing car club.[79] The i-Road will also be part of Toyota's similar ha:mo project in Toyota City, Japan.[80]

The Toyota FT-1 is a concept car unveiled at the January 2014 North American International Auto Show.[89] 'FT' stands for Future Toyota. While '1' means number one or the ultimate one. Little is known about this new concept car; other than that it has a front engine and rear wheel drive layout. Toyota did also state their new concept car draws inspiration from Toyota's past sports cars like the 2000GT, Supra, MR-2, and 2007 FT-HS concept car. Toyota did not state whether the FT-1 would use the Supra name, or if it was even bound for production. However, Toyota did say if the FT-1 is approved from production to expect a price tag of around US$60,000.[90]
Work on the FT-1 began nearly two years prior to the presentation. Kevin Hunter, the president of Calty Design Research in California stated that Lexus had the LFA and Scion has the FR-S, but Toyota has nothing.[citation needed] Mr. Hunter then pitched his idea to Toyota's CEO, Akio Toyoda for a halo flagship sports car for the Toyota brand. After receiving approval to build a concept, Calty designers began to sketch ideas and different concepts. In the end, a front engine rear wheel drive layout was chosen. Toyota has not disclosed the cost of building its FT-1 concept, but it is noted that concept cars usually cost around a US$1 million to build. Hunter had stated that the FT-1 is still in the concept stage with no current production plans. He added that if the public's reaction is positive it would only help to move the FT-1 from concept to production and that anything is possible in the future. Alex Shen, the studio chief designer, also hinted at a US$60,000 price tag. He was quoted saying, "It's a Toyota, it ought to be affordable."[91]
The FT-1's overall design was eventually incorporated into the fifth generation Toyota Supra (J29/DB), which launched in 2019 for the 2020 model year.[92] However, much of the design had to have updated proportions and dimensions during co-development alongside BMW, due to being adapted around the significantly smaller BMW Z4 (G29) platform's shared hardpoints.[93][94] Additionally, Toyota's goal of a price tag around US$60,000 for the production version of the FT-1 was achieved, with the fifth generation Supra being priced at US$49,990 starting MSRP along with a front engine rear wheel drive layout as proposed.[95]
- FT-1 Graphite Concept
A second FT-1 was created and shown at the Monterey Jet Center in Monterey, California in August 2014. It was painted in a gray colour rather than the first car's red colour to shift perception of the vehicle.[96]
- FT-1 Vision Gran Turismo
To commemorate the 15th anniversary of the popular video game series, Gran Turismo 6 will feature a festival called "Vision Gran Turismo" (name reused from early GT5 trailer), featuring concept cars designed for the game by top automobile companies. Toyota created a unique design of the FT-1 concept called the FT-1 VGT, featuring more aggressive and race inspired body work similar to the GT500 machines from the Super GT series.[97] A Gr.3 version, based on FIA GT3 regulations, was later created for the game's sequel, Gran Turismo Sport.

The Toyota FV (also known as the FV2) is a concept car introduced at the 2014 Geneva Motor Show. The car has no steering wheel to grab hold of, so instead, the FV is operated by the driver shifting their body weight, intuitively moving the car forwards or backwards, left and right. It is connected to an intelligent transport system technology, which means you stay safe while having fun. A wide variety of local safety information captured from other vehicles and traffic infrastructure aids the driver of the FV to deal with dangers such as blind spots at junctions. By incorporating technology under development in the Toyota Heart Project, both the driver and the FV can grow together. Using both voice and image recognition to determine the driver's mood, the car will accumulate driving history to suggest driving routes and even determine the driver's skill level to assist in driving technique. Also, to give your FV2 the personal touch, its body colour and exterior display can be changed to match your mood. It can reach speeds of up to 160 km/h (100 mph), and has a price tag of US$45,000.[104]

| Predecessor | Toyota Camatte |
The Toyota Setsuna is a concept car made by Toyota in 2016, and shown at the Milan Design Week festival. It is based on the Toyota Camatte. It is an open air, 97% cedar wood car. The car is planned to last up to the year 3000 before the wood is expected to be needed to replace. It has a top speed of 45 km/h (28 mph), and a range of 26 km (16 miles). It is not street-legal anywhere, but close to legal in Italy and Japan.[135]
The special emblem on the cars hood shows a flower blooming, representing time evolving. The wood around the door mirrors, seats, steering wheel, and body banding lines have gotten a lacquer finish. The seats have been made to feel like a wooden park bench, but with leather. It also includes a "100 year meter", an always ticking timer counting the 100 years until the car will need a wood change.[136]
Another main material is aluminum. Aluminum was used to make wheel caps, the steering wheel, and the seat frames, to bring some contrast to the car.[137]
The car also gives the feeling of a boat on the water, enhancing the family-vacation vibe. The car can seat 2 people. Kenji Tsuji, the designer, said, "When we created the Setsuna, we envisaged a family pouring its love into it over generations so that the car gains an irreplaceable value. Continuous development is possible in the form of bonds between the car and the family, like the growth rings of a tree. To proceed with the development of a car utilizing the appeal of wood, we directly spoke with experts with wide-ranging knowledge, including carpenters specializing in temple and shrine construction and ship's carpenters. Furthermore, during this project, Sumitomo Forestry, a company that fully understands our concept, shared their knowledge of wood construction with us, and together we engaged in various types of joint development from the early stages, including wood selection and proposals for processing techniques and assembly methods. While we used wood as the main material, we also poured lots of time and passion into the car itself with our colleagues, creating a prototype and evaluating it so that the car would offer basic performance in the form of driving feel and comfort. By displaying the Setsuna, which was created with these hopes in mind and receiving a wide range of opinions, we believe that we can further improve this concept. One piece of feedback that we received in particular was the hope that we would incorporate this concept into car manufacturing in the future."
At the festival, Toyota build an exhibit using the same wood as the car, where visitors walk through a wooden "tunnel". A large neon sign saying Setsuna greets visitors as they approach the exhibit.[138]

The Toyota i-TRIL is a concept car introduced by Toyota at the 2017 Geneva Auto Show. Designed for three people, the Toyota i-TRIL concept posits a new mode of transportation that is somewhere between a subcompact car and a motorcycle. A product of Toyota's European design studio in Nice, France, the i-TRIL is a podlike EV with a range of about 200 km (120 mi). At 2,830 mm (111.4 in) long, it is 135 mm (5.3 in) longer than a Smart Fortwo. The car's rear track is half the width of the front, and the rear wheels do the driving. The connection between the rear wheels and the body is hinged, allowing the body and the front wheels to lean into turns by up to 10 degrees—an idea Toyota calls Active Lean technology, which it previously explored in the Toyota i-Road concept. The two butterfly doors take a section of the floor with them when they open, allowing for easier access to the central front seat, which swivels. The i-TRIL has a steering yoke but no pedals, and a head-up display replaces a traditional gauge cluster.[146]

It was shown at the 2019 Tokyo Motor Show. It includes an artificial intelligence agent "Yui", who delivers a personalized driving experience. Yui creates a unique mobility experience that builds the relationship between vehicle and driver by learning from and responding to individual preferences and needs. Yui can also select and play music based on the driving environment and provide real-time information on topics of interest to the driver. It also features Toyota-developed SAE Level 4 equivalent automated driving. Test drives have been available since September 2020 in Tokyo. Another robot in the car is Al. AI can engage with the driver using interactive voice communications, in-seat functions designed to increase alertness or reduce stress, in-vehicle illumination, air conditioning, fragrances and other human-machine interactions (HMI). Automated parking uses an on-vehicle system that identifies the current position of the vehicle using multiple cameras, sonar and radar, 2D road mapping, cameras installed in the parking lot and a control center. Vehicle sensors and parking lot cameras also monitor for other vehicles and pedestrians on the automated driving route, automatically stopping the vehicle when another vehicle or a pedestrian is detected. Driving information such as lane warnings, road signs, and route guidance can be displayed in a three-dimensional and easy-to-understand manner over the scenery seen through the windshield. The system helps keep the driver's eyes on the road thanks to a large 230 inch screen display.[161]
