Toyota @ Auto Expo 2016

Big shoutout to Vid6639 for shooting these pictures & his coverage of the Auto Expo. Thanks for sharing, man!

Re: Toyota @ Auto Expo 2016

The next-generation Innova, dubbed the 'Innova Crysta', is here on display and boy, what a crowd magnet it is! This car gets its own thread, check it out.

Re: Toyota @ Auto Expo 2016

Toyota's eye candy - Le Mans prototype - Hybrid TS040:

It has got a carbon fibre composite body:

3.7L V8 petrol engine. It produces over 986 BHP (petrol + hybrid):

Notice the carbon fibre weaves on the body, inside the headlamps, everywhere:

Re: Toyota @ Auto Expo 2016

Toyota Mirai Hydrogen fuel cell car:
Toyota @ Auto Expo 2016-c-1.jpg

The basic premise of the Toyota Mirai is simple. Have a tank filled with hydrogen (H), take oxygen (O2) from the atmosphere and do some advanced chemistry between the two resulting in just 3 end products - electricity, heat and water:
Toyota @ Auto Expo 2016-c-3.jpg

The Mirai looks different...that's an understatement. Its design remains a hit or a miss:
Toyota @ Auto Expo 2016-c-4.jpg

Toyota @ Auto Expo 2016-c-6.jpg

Check out bblost's lovely report on the Mirai here:
Toyota @ Auto Expo 2016-c-7.jpg

The Camry Hybrid also stands amidst its hybrid stable mates:

Toyota had an hybrid simulator too. Too bad it wasn't functional at the time Vid6639 covered the stall:

Re: Toyota @ Auto Expo 2016

The Japanese manufacturer has a safety corner too.

This machine simulates the importance of driving aids - traction control, ESP etc.
Toyota @ Auto Expo 2016-d-8.jpg

Users get to drive with the driving aids on first and then without. Its good to see manufacturers spreading awareness on safety features:
Toyota @ Auto Expo 2016-d-9.jpg

This is a Liva simulator. You're actually using the controls of this Liva and virtually driving (the screen ahead shows you the road):
Toyota @ Auto Expo 2016-d-3.jpg
Toyota @ Auto Expo 2016-d-4.jpg

Toyota shows a video of the Latin & Global NCAP crash test where the Liva scored 4 stars:

Some other videos showing the other services offered by Toyota:

Re: Toyota @ Auto Expo 2016

Any news about Toyota Vios ? I read somewhere Toyota will display the Vios sedan to be launched in India in 2017. Or may be they will unveil it in coming days ?

Re: Toyota @ Auto Expo 2016

Any indication of reintroducing their once hot selling sports models like MR2, Celica?

Re: Toyota @ Auto Expo 2016

Were Vios, Rush and RAV 4 on display? I was of the opinion that Toyota may think of bringing them to India in 2016/2017 though there are news that next gen Vios will be launched in India in 2018.

Re: Toyota @ Auto Expo 2016

Very disappointed with the Toyota pavilion.
Was eagerly waiting for a preview of the Vios but the company has decided against showcasing that.

Its a lame effort and with the Crysta launch, Innova may touch touch Endy territory.

Re: Toyota @ Auto Expo 2016

What happened to the replacement of Etios Evils Twins? Or Toyota is too happy selling them to the taxi market? I thought, they were to be replaced this year?

Re: Toyota @ Auto Expo 2016

umm... i don't see the new Fortuner anywhere???? What's Toyota playing at??? Any news on it? And to think after Ford being so proactive one would expect toyota to sit up and take notice.

Re: Toyota @ Auto Expo 2016

What a sad pavilion. The least Toyota could have done is displayed car which they intend to launch in near future. Iam not sure how difficult it was to display the new fortuner.

Why display car which you are never going to launch here anyways.

All show no go.

Re: Toyota @ Auto Expo 2016

Another half-hearted attempt by a manufacturer. I believe this is an insight into their seriousness for the market. Toyota with the Innova has kind of taken the market for granted and hence no display of Vios, Fortuner or any other planned launch.

Or are they gonna surprise us??? No way!!!
