Recently, Toyota released a "LQ" EV concept car jointly developed with an American research company. The car uses Toyota's latest AI technology and also has highly intelligent automatic driving functions. The new car will be officially unveiled at the Tokyo Motor Show that opens on the 23rd of this month.
This car inherits the design concept of the "Concept-i" concept car exhibited by Toyota at the 2017 CES (Consumer Electronics Show), through the efforts of Toyota engineers , Nowadays, Toyota LQ has perfect driving ability. It is expected that from June to September next year, the car will hold a large-scale test ride experience event in Odaiba, Tokyo.
The car breaks the convention in styling, subverting our previous understanding of urban family cars. On the Toyota LQ, we can't see the traditional grille and headlight shapes, and new design thinking is also incorporated into the doors and windows.
According to relevant Toyota personnel, the car will be a forward-looking display of future Toyota urban commuter vehicle design, which means it is very It is possible that we will see a similar design language on the next generation Prius or Mirai. In addition to the extremely sci-fi in appearance, the car also integrates Toyota's most forward-looking concept in terms of electrification.
The car is equipped with Toyota's cutting-edge AI "YUI" system. The system can infer the mental state of the personnel by monitoring the expressions and actions of the drivers and passengers, such as concentration, mood and drowsiness. In addition to voice interaction, the system can memorize the habits of the drivers and passengers, and automatically set the vehicle for different objects. The seats, music, lighting, air conditioning and other settings.

Another configuration feature of this car is that it has SAE level 4 automatic driving function, and is also equipped with an unmanned automatic parking system, which can realize the vehicle from the unmanned driving mode. The parking lot drives out and automatically moves to the parking space.
In terms of materials, Toyota LQ uses organic EL interior materials for the first time, and the lower part of the front door is made of glass. It is seamlessly connected with the interior of the car, creating a sense of the future that only a concept car has. However, according to Toyota engineers, the forward-looking design and leading material use of this car type will achieve real mass production around 2025. .
In terms of size, the length, width and height of the Toyota LQ are: 4530×1840×1480mm, powered by pure electric power, and the maximum endurance is more than 300km.
