Toyota is set to showcase a diverse array of concept vehicles at the 2025 Japan Mobility Show in Tokyo later this month, signaling bold new directions across its global lineup. Among the most intriguing teasers are a futuristic electric Corolla sedan, a striking two-door coupe-SUV under the prestigious Century nameplate, and a startling six-wheeled Lexus LS minivan concept. These concepts highlight Toyota’s push for electrification, innovation, and exploration of unconventional body styles tuned for luxury and utility.
Electrified & Futuristic Corolla Concept
The Corolla, one of Toyota’s longest-running and best-selling nameplates worldwide, gets a sharp, angular new design in the concept shown in early teasers. This sedan features a crisp horizontal light bar spanning its front fascia, with slim vertical LED headlight units framed by bold daytime running light “eyebrows.” Traditional side mirrors mounted on the front door’s leading edge and aerodynamic creases along the hood and sides enhance both function and modern aesthetics.
With a dramatic rake to the windshield and a sloping roof, the concept blends sportiness with elegance. A charging port on the front fender suggests an all-electric or plug-in hybrid drivetrain, although Toyota is expected to continue offering internal combustion or hybrid variants in this segment for markets like the Middle East, where hybrid uptake is rapidly growing.
Lexus LS Minivan Concept Introduces Six-Wheel Luxury
In an unexpected twist, Lexus teases a six-wheeled LS minivan concept departing radically from the traditional high-end sedan image. While still shrouded in mystery, the concept’s illuminated wheels and massive sliding side doors hint at an ultra-luxurious MPV designed for chauffeur-driven comfort and exclusivity. This concept builds on Lexus’s existing LM minivan market success in Japan & China but imagines a much more expansive and futuristic family vehicle tailored for regional tastes valuing space and prestige.
Century Coupe-SUV: Japan’s Luxury Flagship Reimagined
The Toyota Century brand, synonymous with Japan’s highest executive and VIP transportation sees a coupe-SUV concept debut. This two-door, elevated-ride concept combines the traditional grandeur of Century’s large flagship sedan with sportier cues, fastback rooflines, and bold hexagonal grille detailing inspired by premium European rivals. Forward-sliding front doors paired with small rear quarter doors recall the Mazda RX-8’s innovative access, optimizing both accessibility & style.
Though Toyota has not disclosed powertrain details, a strong hybrid V6 setup similar to the current Century SUV is anticipated. The coupe’s stretched proportions and minimalist badging emphasize a combination of understated luxury and cutting-edge design experimentation likely to pique interest among luxury buyers in Japan and the Middle East.
Supercar Preview & More Concepts
Toyota also confirmed the upcoming reveal of its new GR-badged supercar, expected to launch in early December 2025 at the Tokyo Auto Salon. The high-performance coupe likely to be sold as a Lexus LFR, will reportedly use a twin-turbo V8 hybrid powertrain, continuing Toyota’s focus on electrified but exhilarating performance vehicles.
Other teasers from Toyota include mobility concepts for disabled users, robot-like delivery vehicles, and compact electric trucks aimed at developing urban markets. These projects underscore Toyota’s wide-ranging vision stretching beyond traditional passenger cars to future mobility solutions.
Conclusion: Toyota’s Vision For A Multifaceted Mobility Future
The 2025 Japan Mobility Show promises to be a defining moment for Toyota, showcasing next-generation models that blend electrification, luxury, and innovation with regional-specific priorities like versatility and premium experiences. For Middle Eastern buyers and enthusiasts, concepts like the electric Corolla, six-wheeled Lexus LS minivan, and Century coupe-SUV offer exciting glimpses into vehicles that could redefine luxury & practicality in the coming decade.
