Rated 2.5 out of 5

Gavin Green, 02 October 2008 19:16

Toyota showed the latest, third-generation Avensis, a car that typically whips up as much excitement from car enthusiasts as the Eurovision Song Contest does with music aficionados. The Avensis is one of those cars that typically provides loyal service to company car reps before naturally seeing out as its days as a minicab, pine scent dangling from rear-view mirror. The ...

Rated 4 out of 5

Tom Richards, 04 August 2008 14:33

Toyota has just unveiled the ‘Winglet’, one of its ‘people-assisting Partner Robots’.  It isn’t exactly a car per se, but it has wheels, a motor, and it is a valid alternative to walking. It even has its own ‘trim’ levels – ‘S’, ‘M’ and ‘L’ (from left to right in our pictures). These range from ‘practical’ (with the long handle) ...

Rated 3 out of 5

James Foxall and CAR reader reporter Sandy T, 23 July 2008 13:01

With a massive 18-car product offensive planned for 2009, Toyota should have been one of the stars of this year's London show. But there's a clue in the timing; 2008 is a quiet year for Toyota, with a lull before next year's storm of new models. What’s new on Toyota’s London motor show stand? Disappointingly, concept cars from previous events ...

Toyota's production iQ

Rated 4 out of 5

Guy Bird, 06 March 2008 15:41

What’s new on Toyota’s Geneva Motor Show stand? The brand’s biggest news by far was the production iQ city car. The road-going iQ keeps almost all of the 2007 Frankfurt concept’s great packaging – half a metre shorter than a Fiat 500 at 2985mm – but still housing four seats, three for adults and one behind the driver for a ...

Rated 4 out of 5

Tim Pollard, 13 February 2008 12:28

Toyota hasn’t bottled it, thank goodness. This first photograph of the iQ shows that the production version of this fascinating mini has kept all the cheeky charm of last year’s show car, which won CAR’s concept car of the year gong.

Toyota A-BAT

Rated 3 out of 5

Guy Bird, 15 January 2008 13:39

Toyota’s latest Detroit concept flips on its head the current orthodoxy that pick-ups can’t be green. The A-BAT is a compact pick-up, akin to a RAV4 in size, featuring a four-cylinder petrol/electric hybrid and solar panels built into the top of the dashboard efficient enough to power the sat-nav and other interior tools. It looks a little Prius-like? The much-vaunted ...
