Toyota ViRA – a rakish Vitz meets RAV4 concept

toyota vira concept TAS

Joining the modified vehicle fray at the upcoming 2016 Tokyo Auto Salon will be the Toyota ViRA, a rather imaginative crossover take from the automaker’s subsidiary, Toyota Industries Corporation.

The two-door vehicle is an interpretative fusion of the Vitz (known to us as the Yaris) hatch and RAV4 SUV. Interpretative, because there’s not much resemblance to the two vehicles on the coupe-like ViRA, which displays a low roofline and a very rakish outline.

No accompanying tech details or specifications on what looks to be a B-segment-sized, 2+2 layout offering, so it remains to be seen what drives it along. Plenty of physical presence, with large wheels, front brake calipers and discs on show, and there’s a camera-based rear-view system in place of the traditional side mirrors.

More info on the ViRA undoubtedly when the TAS kicks off later this week.
