Toyota concept vehicles (1990–1999)
Toyota Concept Vehicles produced between 1990 and 1999 include:
The TownAce Van EV is a battery-electric prototype of the R20 series TownAce.
Unveiled in 1991, at the 29th Tokyo Auto Show, the Avalon was a concept vehicle designed by Calty. It was a 4-door convertible where the windshield would retract and cover the passenger compartment when the vehicle was parked and secured. It could only be driven with the top open with the roof serving as the windshield, with two additional glass panels that would retract rearward and stack behind the rear seats. It was roughly the size of the Toyota Corolla Ceres. The doors were not installed with side windows which means in inclement weather the passengers were exposed, in a similar fashion to touring car bodystyles of the early 1900s. It did not appear to have any direct relation to the Avalon sedan that was later placed into production.
The AXV-III was a concept vehicle first shown at the October 1991 Tokyo Motor Show and later shown at the February 1993 Chicago Auto Show. Based on the new Carina, it demonstrated automated driver aids such as vehicle-to-vehicle distance maintenance and a voice synthesiser that gave instructions for upcoming intersections.
The AXV-III cruise control maintained vehicle-to-vehicle distance. Distances over 33 feet were measured by a pulsed laser beam. Distances under 33 feet were measured by a CCD camera using techniques similar to a camera's auto-focus. The usual accelerator linkage was replaced by an electronic version so that the computer could slow the car down automatically by removing power and activating the brakes when the car in front came too close.
A voice activated GPS system displayed the current location on a display while additional safety was supplied by two door mounted airbags.
The AXV-IV was a concept vehicle first shown at the October 1991 Tokyo Motor Show. It is a small coupe designed to be an environmentally friendly personal commuter. The AXV-IV is extremely light, weighing only 450 kilograms (992 lb). It is powered by an 804 cc supercharged two-stroke engine, rated at 64 hp (48 kW). The car also utilized light-weight FRP (fiberglass reinforced plastic) coil springs.
The Toyota Fun Runner is a 1991 concept produced by Toyota at the 29th Tokyo Motor Show. It is based on the Toyota 4Runner. Toyota demonstrated its unflagging commitment to people-friendly car-making for the 21st century that harmonized with society and the earth's environment. It is made to be a luxury sport utility vehicle.
