AutoExec Summary
The Toyota LandCruiser Se concept and the Toyota EPU concept showcased at the 2023 Tokyo motor show are indicative of Toyota’s move towards electric 4WD vehicles. The LandCruiser Se, based on a car-like monocoque architecture, promises to be a formidable off-roader with its electric propulsion, improved stability, and advanced traction control systems. It is also expected to do without traditional 4WD accessories such as a snorkel and winch, and could potentially charge itself using solar panels. The Toyota EPU concept, a long four-door pickup truck, also utilizes a monocoque construction and promises to step up off-road capabilities. However, both vehicles are still years away from production.
Brands mentioned: Toyota, Tesla, BYD, Polestar, Hyundai, Kia, Land Rover.
