Toyota and its partner brands have revealed some wild, production-bound concepts at the 2025 Japan Mobility Show, including the Corolla Concept we saw earlier.
In addition to new forms of transport for kids, a futuristic HiAce EV and even the ‘LandCruiser’ of wheelchairs, a dynamic preview of the 13th generation Corolla broke cover, with more angles and interior now visible compared with before.
While the concept appears to be fully electric, iterations of Toyota’s next-gen 1.5 and 2.0-litre engines will make their way into the car. It is a radical departure from the often conservative Corollas of yore, with a wedgey profile, futuristic DLO and 21-inch alloy wheels.
The interior features an equally radical rethink, with a swooping glasshouse, free-floating satellite control pod encapsulating a free-standing instrument screen. The three-spoke steering wheel features a rectangular boss, with the Toyota logo offset to the right. One awesome detail is the car-shaped gear selector on a floating central panel, with two phone charging pads cleverly separated on either side by diagonal spears.
Meanwhile, luxury brand Lexus is wowing showgoers with an extraordinary six-wheeled LS or ‘Luxury Space’ concept. The six-seater envisions a successor to the LM, with a futuristic interpretation of the Japanese luxury vehicle cabin.
In addition, a medium electric coupe crossover concept debuted, in the form of the LS Coupe. The athletic concept features a flying buttress inspired by the (also turquoise) Sport concept which debuted in August. It also has a slide-out rear tray and suicide doors. A TRON-esque single seater also featured – the outlandish LS Micro Concept.
At the top of the tree sits the Century Coupe, with sliding doors, an elegant silhouette and a driver-oriented cockpit. It aims to redefine Century as a Rolls-Royce level of upper luxury brand.
Lucky last, the Daihatsu K-OPEN concept presages a rear-wheel drive successor to the Copen kei sports car. With a north-south engine layout, this would effectively make it the spiritual successor to the Suzuki Cappuccino.
These cars will be on show for the public to witness at the Japan Mobility Show until November 9.
