Toyota i-TRIL Concept: Urban EV in Geneva debut

Getting its global reveal at the Geneva Motor Show, the Toyota i-TRIL Concept reflects the automaker’s thinking on a future city-centric electric vehicle. Co-developed by Toyota Motor Europe in concert with the automaker’s ED2 design studio in Nice, France, this diminutive EV is being pitched as an alternative to existing A- and B-segment conventional and electric vehicles as well as motorcycles for those who demand a measure of fun even while driving at slow speeds in a crowded urban environment.

Toyota added that the i-TRIL Concept will be capable of autonomous operation.
