Toyota FTSX Concept, a Bolder, More Decisive Image for Toyota; Retain the Image with Toyota ...
By Jenny McLane
The goal of the Toyota FTSX concept is to have the space and ride height of an SUV with the comfort, handling, and efficiency of a sedan. "We began with a totally new silhouette and package, lower and wider than an SUV, but taller, more comfortable, and more versatile than a sedan. Add a powerful V6, all-wheel drive, 21-inch wheels, four doors, a large, multi-function glass roof and an innovative rear hatch and you have a vehicle with exceptional functionality," remarked Kevin Hunter, vice president, design and studio activities at Calty Design Research, Inc.
Powered by a 3.5 liter V6 engine, the FT-SX is 187 inches long, 74.4 inches wide, and 61 inches tall. It uses 21-inch wheels (though a production model would probably not go over 18 inches) with 255/45R21 tires, and has a 114-inch wheelbase.
The FT-SX features a powerful V6 engine, all-wheel drive, 21-inch wheels, four doors, a large, and a multi-function glass roof. The four-door concept boasts V-6 power, all-wheel drive, 21-inch wheels, and a large glass roof. Toyota claims that the front-end layout of the FT-SX is "an all-new expression" and that the look, which it calls "T-Face," will become the new design language for the company.
The FT-SX has a trick rear hatch, which allows two panels in the glass roof to slide toward the center of the vehicle, creating both a larger opening and a rear sunroof. Pivoting the upper and lower halves of the hatch up or down, respectively, can make access to the cargo area. When the lower part of the hatch is down, a loading tray automatically extends to aid with cargo loading and unloading. The Toyota FTSX concept is powered by a 3.5-liter V-6 and automatic transmission, with running gear for on-road performance.
