As seen from the 2025 Japan Mobility Show
The recently concluded Japan Mobility Show has seen Toyota flaunt the future of their brands. In a gist, Daihatsu has a slew of small concept cars led by the new K-Open, Lexus has out-of-this-world concepts that go beyond the road, and Century was unveiled as the new flagship brand of Toyota together with the new Century Coupe SUV concept.
Of course, there is also something for the names that are already familiar to us. Some have been launched prior to the show, while some were exclusively unveiled there. If all you’re concerned about is your next Toyota purchase, you might want to see what’s coming up next in the launch list.
Land Cruiser FJ
The FJ name is returning to the Land Cruiser family and will symbolize the “Freedom and Joy” that comes when driving a Toyota Land Cruiser. The new Land Cruiser FJ is the smallest of the bunch, around the same size as the RAV4. It will be a 5-door, 5-seater model that looks more than ready for the outdoors straight out of the showroom. It also stays close to the interior aesthetic of the current LC family, only with a few distinct touches to make it unique from its brothers. The Land Cruiser FJ will be powered by a 2.7-liter gasoline engine paired to a part-time 4-wheel drive and a 6-speed Electronically Controlled Transmission. There’s no pricing yet but its production version will be launched in Japan in mid-2026.
6th-generation RAV 4
One of the pioneers of crossovers globally will be shifting tides again. The 6th-generation RAV 4 graced the booth of Toyota in all of its trims. The Core is the urban dweller, Adventure for the outdoor-ready, and GR Sport for the spirited drive. The GR Sport will also come with exclusively tuned steering and suspension for better driving feel. It will come exclusively in electrified flavors—Hybrid and Plug-in Hybrid. The PHEV version will be the first to feature Toyota’s high-capacity battery that allows it an electric-only range of 150 kilometers. It’s set to be in Japanese showrooms very soon.
IMV Origin
You may not know it, but Toyota’s IMV platform has been in the Philippines for a long time now. This is the foundation for the Hilux, Innova, Fortuner, and most recently the new-generation Tamaraw.
Now, Toyota is going deeper into that foundation with the IMV Origin. This is meant as an easy to build vehicle that can serve the unique needs of small communities. It will be shipped from the factory in its bare state and customers can customize it on their own, with the help of local builders in their respective areas. This way, the IMV Origin will both help their owners and foster a building and repair community. Water, boxes, animals, people – you can carry whatever you need with the IMV Origin and your own build ideas.
Corolla Concept
It seems the time is ripe for a new version of Toyota’s bestselling model. Toyota unveiled the new Corolla Concept and it certainly turned heads. It features sleek lighting assemblies on both ends while the overall silhouette is similar to the 3rd– or 4th-generation Prius with its higher rear waistline and suggestive liftback tailgate.
The interior is a refreshing take on a modern driving area. The driver gets additional wings on the steering column for more controls, while the usual center touchscreen is now on the passenger side completely. There’s also a floating center console exclusively for the shifter and parking brake.
There’s no date yet for the Corolla Concept. At least you now have an idea what the next generation will look like.
HiAce Concept
Similar to the IMV Origin, Toyota showcased the HiAce Concept as a partner of a modern commercial worker. It has a dashboard with a strict driver layout, only has a driver’s seat, and features a tray above the gauge cluster for additional accessories. The rest of the van is an empty space that can be customized based on the needs of your business or work.
There’s a second concept where the HiAce was a mobile health worker. The idea is to deliver healthcare to patients wherever, whenever. It can aid in far flung areas instead of having patients move into far hospitals.
