Review content:
The 2017 New York Auto Show could have become another ordinary car show if Japanese designers and engineers from Toyota Motor Corporation had not intervened, presenting to the world public conceptual model FT-4x, which clearly demonstrates the direction of the future development of the line of crossovers and SUVs of the brand.
To say that the car turned out to be unusual is to say nothing, since the crossover received a revolutionary design and weight. innovative solutions designed to increase comfort and make the car as functional as possible for young people and people leading an active lifestyle.
The company itself reports that the Toyota FT 4x was developed for millennials - people born in the late 80s - early 90s of the last century, permanently living in the city, but periodically getting out into nature. Moreover, the car is ideal for today's youth, who will appreciate the GoPro-camera built into the rearview mirror, removable multimedia system, which easily turns into a portable boombox, as well as a regular sleeping bag brand "The North Face", located in the place of the central armrest.
Toyota even dubbed their new product a special term - "casual-core", which in direct translation sounds like "random hardcore" and emphasizes the readiness of the car for any test.
Note that the last time Toyota created something similar was in 2003, when the world first saw a concept version of the future. serial SUV FJ Cruiser, which has made a real breakthrough in the design of modern SUVs.
The exterior of the conceptual Toyota FT-4x 2017

When looking at the car in profile, which, we think, evokes the image Kia Soul, large side doors are striking, as well as an impressive size wheel arches fitted with 18-inch alloy wheels wrapped in GoodYear off-road tires.
The stern of the car deserves special attention, since it is here that the unique convertible tailgate, called the Multi-Hatch, is located. Its main feature is that it can be either opened to the sides, divided into a pair of vertical doors, or completely lifted up. In the second case, it may well cope with the role of an awning that protects travelers from rain or the scorching sun. Moreover, inside each of the flaps, the manufacturer has placed special thermal compartments, one of which is responsible for cooling, and the second for heating the contents.
Directly below the Multi-Hatch door is a massive rear bumper that houses a pair of tow hooks to securely mount a winch or raise cargo capabilities car. By the way, on the ideally flat roof of the concept there are also special eyelets for which you can attach various luggage or camping equipment. A nice bonus was also the presence of sockets located outside the body, removable windows and a GoPro action camera built into the rearview mirror.
The external dimensions of the novelty have the following parameters:
- Length- 4.249 m;
- Width- 1.821 m;
- Height- 1.623 m;
- Wheelbase length- 2.639 m.
In general, the off-road FT-4x has an innovative and slightly spacey design, reminiscent of intergalactic shuttles and lunar rovers.
Toyota FT 4x interior
The interior design of the car is no less impressive than its exterior. The front dashboard is made in a minimalist style and boasts a large number of niches and shelves for various luggage. Workplace The driver is represented by an almost square steering wheel with stylish switch knobs, as well as a small LCD display showing the speedometer and fuel level. Above the display is a special mount for a smartphone, which, after installation, can act as a full-fledged dashboard.
In the lower central part of the front panel there is a stylish stereo system, which, if desired, can be removed, thereby turning it into a small boombox - perfect solution for picnics and outings.
The front seats are comfortable enough for long journeys, and between them there is an original armrest, the role of which is played by The North Face folded sleeping bag - simple, convenient and practical. The rear sofa can accommodate three passengers, and the amount of free space allows them to feel quite at ease.
The interior space of the concept, as shown by the Toyota FT 4x review, is divided into three main areas. The first is the "clean zone", represented by the driver's seat and seat. front passenger, as well as fabric mats and wear-resistant coating thresholds. The second is the “wet zone”, located under the rear passenger sofa, equipped with a unique ventilation system and designed to store wet things (wetsuit, wet clothes and shoes). And the last, cargo area - located in the luggage compartment. Her main feature is the presence of a removable backlight (read a flashlight) and loops for securing cargo, as well as a hidden compartment for storing additional cargo and travel accessories.
What's more, the boot floor can be pulled out, allowing it to be used as a travel table or seating bench. Trunk volume, unfortunately, is not known, however, even from the photographs it is clear that it is extremely roomy.
