Toyota FT-CH Concept 2010 - Future Toyota Compact Hybrid Concept

Demonstrating Toyota’s intention to expand HSD technology to the small compact car segment
— Compact, urban friendly package, appealing to a younger customer base.

Reinforcing Toyota’s commitment to introduce HSD technology to a far wider customer base over the next decade, the FT-CH concept is the company’s first representation of a full hybrid vehicle for the small compact car segment.

Just 3,895 mm long, the FT-CH’s compact proportions hint at a manoeuvrability and responsiveness ideally suited to the urban environment, whilst its generous, 2,550 mm wheelbase provides spacious accommodation for four passengers.

With styling inspired by the 8-bit microprocessor technology that dominated the 80s video game industry, the FT-CH’s exterior design incorporates the attention to aerodynamic detail which hallmarks every Toyota full hybrid. The wheels feature white rim clips and matt black hubs designed to minimise air turbulence.

Placing the emphasis on quality, simplicity and affordability, the interior has been designed with the minimum of complex componentry in mind. The dashboard is of a simple, three-piece construction, the interior door panel has just six parts and the seatback and squab frames are formed from the same moulding.

A racing-style instrument cluster and steering wheel have been adopted to appeal to a younger, more sporting customer, and the FT-CH full hybrid’s Eco driving support monitor features an innovative, multi-coloured wind turbine display.
