Toyota could be set to introduce a new electric version of its Land Cruiser four-wheel-drive.
The Japanese firm has already revealed a new incarnation of its famous off-roader, but while that version will use reasonably traditional engine setups, this concept – called Land Cruiser Se – will adopt a fully electric powertrain instead.
It also incorporates three rows of seating offering space for up to seven people, while the electric motor’s quietness ‘helps create a comfortable cabin space when driving in urban areas and other on-road situations’, according to Toyota. It also uses a monocoque design – rather than the traditional ladder chassis of the upcoming diesel version – which would point towards a more road-comfort-focused setup.
The Se is set to make its debut at this week’s Japan Mobility Show in Tokyo, alongside a number of other concepts from Toyota.
