Toyota says the concept “borrows a number of styling cues from the legendary first-generation Land Cruiser including an iconic off-road silhouette and simple, strong body sections.” There are hints of the RAV4 crossover, as well, notably around the wheel wells.
Toyota, aiming to build on its off-road heritage, said the Compact Cruiser EV targets young, professional urban consumers who have active outdoor leisure interests.
It still appears to be relatively small, based on design elements such as the wheelbase, indicating it may rival smaller utility vehicles such as the Ford Bronco Sport.
Toyota has not confirmed whether the concept is being considered for production, nor has it released technical specifications.
