On January 14, the 2022 Tokyo Auto Salon officially kicked off, at the exhibition, Toyota and its high-end brand Lexus, together with four new concept models: Toyota GR GT3, Toyota bZ4X GR, Lexus NX off-road version and ROV concept car.
Toyota GR GT3
Previously, Toyota has released a GR GT3 trailer, in that processed picture, we seem to see a modernized Toyota 2000GT, and added a little Supra element to it, and after the official announcement of the new car today, its long hood design and tilting roof shape are not far from the previous speculation. Toyota did not disclose any information about the car's power parameters, saying only that the GR GT3 is a concept car designed to attract the attention of GT racers.
Toyota bZ4X GR sport concept car
In addition to the GR GT3, Toyota also brought a bZ4X GR sport concept car. The car is based on the bZ4X, but adds the familiar black sports kit to the exterior, as well as sporty tires. It is reported that the car also added sports seats to the interior. However, according to foreign media reports, Toyota currently does not plan to provide this sports version upgrade on the standard version of the bZ4X.
Lexus NX off-road version and ROV concept car
Toyota's high-end brand Lexus also brought a new car this time, the first is a Lexus NX off-road version based on the NX 450h plug-in hybrid model. The concept car envisions a more environmentally friendly approach to off-roading, with a raised suspension and massive AT off-road tires that can be used for off-road activities in electric mode. The other model is the ROV concept, which has previously been unveiled online, which is a UTV (all-terrain vehicle) model powered by hydrogen. However, it is not a fuel cell vehicle, but is equipped with a 1.0-liter engine, which functions like a gasoline engine and drives the vehicle forward by burning hydrogen.
