Toyota shows tiny i-TRIL concept in Geneva

This is the Toyota i-TRIL, a Geneva Motor Show concept designed to demonstrate how the Japanese manufacturer thinks urban mobility will look in the future. The car has a remarkably small turning circle of four metres - roughly the same as Toyota's ultra-manoeuvrable iQ city car. The concept is 3,000mm long - a full 60cm shorter than a VW up!, although the i-TRIL's front track is just 1,200mm, or around 40cm less than the width of Volkswagen's city car. Toyota says its vehicle's seating configuration - with one occupant up front and two in the second row - means that the i-TRIL can accommodate three adults in comfort. The doors open with a butterfly mechanism - but Toyota says their design means they can be opened and closed within a regular parking space.

GENEVA MOTOR SHOW: Toyota i-TRIL concept revealed

Toyota again lived up to its reputation this week, unveiling the i-TRIL concept at the Geneva motor show. Japanese car maker debuts all-electric autonomous car at Swiss showToyota has something of a penchant for urban mobility. Toyota hasn't provided specific detail on the concept, nor clarification on whether it will ever see production. i-TRIL is 1500mm long and rides on a 1200mm wide front track and 600mm rear track. Rest assured, the answer will likely come in the form of another further-evolved concept in the near future.




This ultra-maneuverable concept is powered by an electric motor, pushing all of its power to the rear wheels. Toyota has just given us the i-TRIL, which hints at what it thinks the suburbanites of 2030 will be driving.

It seems Europe gets all the cool concept cars and this year's Geneva Motor Show is no exception. As such, the concept incorporates the Active Lean technology first seen on its i-Road concept.
