Toyota's Crown Concept has just made its public
debut at the 45th Tokyo Motor Show, where visitors can truly get a sense of
what to expect from next year's production car.
The Crown Concept is about two
things, driving performance and connectivity, with the automaker looking to
provide customers with an enjoyable drive in a future mobility society.
The Crown Concept is based
on the Toyota New Global Architecture (TNGA), and has even been tested at the
Nurburgring in an attempt to make the handling feel more responsive, while
increasing stability over various surfaces.
When you're not out driving the wheels off your
Crown Concept, you can just sit back and enjoy all the connected
tech and safety features surrounding you. For example, this car comes with
Toyota's ITS Connect service, which shares information on things like traffic
signals and other vehicles - it's Toyota's way of trying to reduce traffic
congestion.
A production version of the Crown Concept will
make its debut next summer, and if the show car's interior is anything to go by
(and it should), potential buyers can look forward to sitting in a surprisingly
elegant and well-built cabin.
