Future Toyota Adventure Concept unveiled

Short overhangs, a generous ground clearance, substantial skid plates, large 20” wheels and all-terrain tyres signal that the Future Toyota Adventure Concept is aimed at intrepid drivers.

The FT-AC also boasts all-wheel drive with torque vectoring and various terrain-response settings. Furthermore, its extensive equipment list includes LED headlights, removable front fog lights, a versatile safari-style roof rack system and an integrated bike rack.

Connectivity and social media exposure might be important to some people within the FT-AC’s target demographic. To satisfy them, the door mirrors incorporate removable infra-red cameras. Footage can be stored directly to the cloud or streamed live thanks to a built-in Wi-Fi hotspot. In addition, a geolocation function is able to guide the vehicle to a specific point on a map.

At the moment, a straightforward petrol engine is fitted to this concept. However, Toyota says that any future production version could easily be offered with a hybrid powertrain instead.

Carbon dioxide emissions are only 98 g/km, a level that brings numerous benefits for UK drivers including zero road tax, a full discount on the London Congestion Charge and qualification for the lowest company car benefit-in-kind rate. Fuel economy is also decent and, according to the official figures, a TwinAir-powered MiTo will manage 67.3 mpg (4.2 l/100km) on the combined cycle. Impressive maybe, but still some way off the 78.5 mpg (3.6 l/100km) of the existing 1.3 JTDM-2 diesel MiTo. However, any
