The Las Vegas lights flash over the convention center floor as throngs gather around a mid-size vehicle that appears to be built to conquer the desert yet runs on a gas so light it’s virtually air. Toyota’s latest innovation, the Tacoma H2-Overlander Concept, is ready for the 2025 SEMA Show, with silent power and almost nothing but water to exhale. No loud V8, no plugs to mess with, just a big 547 horsepower ready to carry you miles from where the power goes out.
Toyota has a habit of appearing unexpectedly, and the 2025 SEMA Show in Las Vegas is no exception. Amidst the roaring clamor of customized muscle cars and the brilliant glimmer of chrome everywhere, the automaker just unveiled the bZ Time Attack Concept, a battery electric crossover built for the track. Toyota created this vehicle to slice corners on time attack circuits and power up challenging hillclimbs.
Toyota unveiled a Corolla Concept that most certainly stands out at the 2025 Japan Mobility Show in Tokyo. Sharp creases run over the body, 21-inch Y-spoke wheels fill the arches, and a full-width light bar illuminates either end. The rear fender haunches flare purposefully, while the falling beltline sweeps to slender side mirrors. Frameless windows offer an air of sophistication that is uncommon in tiny sedans. Three gasoline caps – two in the front and one in the back – allow this car to be driven in a variety of ways.
At the 2025 SEMA Show in Las Vegas, Toyota will be unveiling a Camry that trades in its sensible shoes for racing boots. Meet the Camry GT-S Concept, a one-off that asks the question: what if the Camry could turn heads and carve corners? Designed by Toyota’s CALTY Design Research studio, this idea combines looks with functionality, hinting at a sportier future for the family car.
Toyota just revealed the Land Cruiser FJ, a fresh take on an icon that has languished in garages and trails for decades. This small SUV is the little sibling that no one knew they needed. At 180 inches long and scarcely wider than a city sidewalk, it reduces the big-brother attitude of full-size models to something you can park next to your everyday driver without hesitation. The Japanese launch date is mid-2026, with the globe getting a closer look at the Japan Mobility Show, which begins October 30.
Toyota’s micro solar EV, the FT-Me, has moved a step closer to reality thanks to a grant from the UK government. The £15 million award, announced on October 15, will go through the Drive35 initiative and be overseen by a Toyota-led team to evaluate every component of this strange little vehicle. It was unveiled in Brussels in March, but now the hard work begins: transforming drawings into something you might see whizzing through Derby traffic.
A Toyota Prius doesn’t exactly scream speed, it’s the car you’d pick for a quiet commute or a road trip. But Vishnu Suresh, the mastermind behind Zephyr Designz, saw something else in the fifth-generation Prius—a blank canvas. His digital creation, a Prius turned open-top roadster, combines the hybrid’s humble beginnings with the bold lines of a supercar.
We’ve always been fascinated by Boston Dynamics, with robots that dance, jump and navigate the world with ease. Their latest project with Toyota Research Institute takes Atlas to new heights by teaching it how to do hard jobs on its own.
