Toyota Unveils FT-4X Concept at New York Auto Show

Toyota used the 2017 New York International Auto Show to unveil its newest concept called the FT-4X Concept which is a four-wheel drive crossover that is highlighted by a long list of unique functionalities, capabilities and a Rugged Charm compact design. The exterior of the FT-4X features what designers are calling an X-Theme which appears in many places throughout the vehicle. The boxy exterior design is somewhat reminiscent of the current Jeep Renegade, but has enough futuristic flair to help distinguish itself fully from its urban and off-road capable counterpart. The concept sits on a set of capable Goodyear All-season tires and stands 1.62 meters tall. The interior features an open concept design that has been sectioned into three zones; Clean Zone which is where passenger sits, Wet Zone where all-weather mats are features and passengers can stow wet or damp items, and the Rear CargoZone where the floor lays completely flat and features topside tracks for securing cargo. Toyota has speculated that the FT-4X could potentially employ a small displacement four-cylinder engine equipped with a mechanical four-wheel drive and selectable low range which will allow it to be ultra-capable in a plethora of situations.
