The 2023 Japan Mobility Show showcased Japan's push into electric vehicles and innovative design, with manufacturers emphasizing future mobility concepts, though many details about powertrains remain unclear and the focus on affordability was less prominent than in other markets.
Toyota has unveiled an all-electric Land Cruiser SUV concept, called the Land Cruiser "Se," at the 2023 Japan Mobility Show. The concept features a sleek design with a long hood, rounded rear end, and visor taillight design. It has a larger wheelbase to accommodate a battery and prioritizes aerodynamics. Toyota claims that the Land Cruiser Se can handle rough terrain, appealing to fans of the gas-powered off-roader. In addition to the Land Cruiser Se, Toyota also showcased a concept midsize electric pickup truck, personal transport vehicles, and a space mobility prototype. The electric Land Cruiser concept marks Toyota's entry into the large electric family hauler segment, as other automakers are also rushing to fill this space.
Toyota has released teaser images of two upcoming all-electric concepts, the FT-3e and FT-Se, ahead of their reveal at the Japan Mobility Show 2023. The FT-3e is described as an "SUV-like" concept with sharp, angular shapes and personalized features powered by innovative technologies. The FT-Se is a Supra-inspired two-door electric coupe concept that shares major components with the FT-3e. Toyota plans to debut its first series-production EVs based on its next-gen platform in 2025, capable of driving over 497 miles on a full charge and recharging from 10% to 80% in about 20 minutes. The cost of the lithium-ion battery is expected to be 20% lower than current models, with a cheaper variant offering over 372 miles of range slated for production in 2026 or 2027. Solid-state batteries are also in development for market launch in 2027 or 2028.
