The FT-4X Concept is the result of Toyota’s designers thinking out of the box and making something whacky. The FT-4X concept combinesa boxy off-roader shape with loads of finicky touches that Toyota believes the modern traveller needs.
Interesting design to say the least, but it has proper off-roading abilities with AWD and low range.
The Concept sits on the same platform as the C-HR and Prius so that should give you an idea of the size. Toyota will not be putting this concept into production but used it as a way to explore new ideas. It is functional, however, and uses a four-cylinder engine connected to an AWD system that has low range capabilities as well.
If you think it’s weird from the outside, then once you step inside it gets even weirder. The armrest in the centre doubles as a sleeping bag for instance. You can dock your smartphone above the speedo and use it for navigation purposes. The door handles double as water bottles and there’s a detachable radio to take with you on your adventures. The wing mirrors are fitted with GoPro cameras just to top off the list of gimmicks.
A sleeping bag centre console from North Face and water bottles for door handles, just some of the accessories plugged into the FT-4X concept.
The cabin can be hosed clean as it doesn’t contain any carpets. The tailgate can be opened vertically, like a normal SUV, or can be opened outwards, like a Mini Clubman.
The FT-4X is certainly an interesting design concept and shows that Toyota is keen to play in the rugged-looking compact SUV segment. There’s probably room for this sort of model globally as models such as the Jeep Renegade and Wrangler have sold well.
