Japan Mobility Show 2025: Toyota’s One Of Its Kind Line-up On Home Turf

- Toyota, Lexus, Daihatsu & Century were all present at the show
- Land Cruiser & Corolla nameplates made their mark at the show
- Lexus & Century too unveiled exciting concepts
One of the most anticipated motor shows across the world is the Japan Mobility Show. A country that is home to some of the most popular and advanced automakers in the world has a lot to showcase in terms of products, technologies and innovations. Car&bike was there at the just-concluded 2025 edition of the show to witness what’s the latest on offer for consumers and what could possibly make its way to the Indian market in times to come.

The biennial show kicked off with Koji Sato, President & CEO, Toyota, stating, “Whether it's a battery EV, plug-in hybrid, hybrid, or internal combustion engine vehicle―whatever the power source – let's make good-looking cars that everyone will want to drive!” adding that the brand to make "Mobility for All" a reality. The Toyota pavilion at the show was a testament of that with a wide range of products on display, including the Hiace Concept, IMV origin, Walk Me and yes, the new Corolla concept.

The bestseller has seen various body types and drivetrains in its five-decade-long journey, but the aggressive style on this concept is a notable design departure from its predecessors. Amongst other design elements, the seamless integration of the front windscreen with the roof was a highlight for me. A ducktail spoiler, a full-width lightbar and of course the Corolla lettering stood out too when it came to the rear. The cabin looks quite futuristic, and a similar look in the production version will find a lot of takers.

The showstopper, though, was the Land Cruiser FJ. The smallest member of the LC family was the centre of attraction, one that got car enthusiasts excited here in India too. It promises to be just as capable as its bigger siblings, and the smaller footprint could work to its advantage in many ways. There’s no confirmation from the brand yet that the SUV will come to India, but if and when it does, the baby SUV is sure to find many takers. If it comes at a competitive price point, where it can appeal to a larger section of buyers will be even better.

Tucked in a corner was the first-ever car made by Toyota. The AA sedan was the first production car made by the company and was launched almost a century ago in 1936. The company was still called Toyoda then, named after its founder, Kiichiro Toyoda and was later renamed as Toyota Motor Corporation. From the first car to some cool concepts on display at the show, the pavilion was a living example of how far and fast the auto world has developed.
But Toyota is not just Toyota. From a unique 6-wheel concept shown by Lexus to Century being unveiled as the new flagship brand, the versatility and technology on display were worth experiencing. The former is a high-end MPV that ensures a lot of real estate inside, and the latter is a bold new concept with which the brand aims to take on the likes of Rolls-Royce and Bentley. And then there was the cute K-Open from Daihatsu. In the words of Chairman Akio Toyoda, “ We want to cultivate it as a brand that brings the spirit of Japan – the pride of Japan – out into the world.”
