TOYOTA FT-Bh CITY CAR CONCEPT


    TOYOTA FT-Bh CITY CAR CONCEPT







Toyota says it will unveiling of a new city car concept at next month's Geneva Motor Show, potentially previewing a new rival for Volkswagen's entry-level Up ! Car .





Wearing the familiar 'FT' prefix carried by more than a few of Toyota's concepts, the new car will be dubbed FT-Bh - pointing to the car's B-segment city-car size, & a hybrid powertrain.




The hybrid system is expected to be the only powertrain option for the production version of the FT-Bh, setting it apart from the petrol-powered Up! &  the planned e-Up! electric vehicle.




Toyota says the FT-Bh has been designed to keep manufacturing costs down, with a focus on introducing the new model at a competitive point in Europe's hard-fought city-car market.









Little else has been revealed at this stage,  although a teaser illustration today suggests the concept will combine design elements from the current Prius, the new Yaris light car, and the recent NS4 concept.
