By CARSIFU | 21 February 2017


BRUSSELS: Toyota will be rolling out a 3-seater electric city car concept called i-TRIL Concept at the upcoming Geneva Motor Show as indicated in this teaser image.

Developed by Toyota Motor Europe in collaboration with the company’s ED² design studio in Nice, this electric motor powered concept showcases numerous innovative aspects of Toyota's research into ever better and more engaging environmentally-friendly mobility solutions.

Featuring a one-plus-two seating layout, Active Lean technology and capable of operating autonomously the i-TRIL Concept represents a viable alternative to A and B segment cars, other EV products, and motorcycles for those who still wish to have fun whilst driving even at slow speeds in the urban environment.

The new 2017 Yaris alongside its sporty derivative, the Yaris GRMN, will also be at the Geneva show along with the full Gazoo Racing line-up.

The revised Yaris range is said to have a more dynamic exterior design and upgraded interior finish.

The Yaris GRMN will be unique in the hot hatch market as it will be powered by a supercharged engine - a 1.8-litre unit that will produce more than 210 DIN hp. It was inspired and influenced by Toyota’s return to the World Rally Championship in 2017 with the Yaris WRC.

Toyota will reveal more details on March 7.
