6 Popular Cars At Tokyo Motor Show 2017

The Tokyo Motor Show (東京モーターショー) is a biennial auto show held in October–November at the Tokyo Big Sight, Tokyo, Japan for cars, motorcycles and commercial vehicles.

The Tokyo motor show is regarded as one of the most diverse in the industry, encompassing the best of Japan’s native car makers as well as its idiosyncratic car culture, with wild tuning cars, boxy kei cars and normally sees more concept cars than actual production car introductions which is the reason why the auto press sees the show as one of the motorshow’s big five (along with Detroit, Geneva, Frankfurt and Paris).

At first I planned to do a photo post, but somehow I ended up doing a review-typical ‘Man Proposes, God Disposes’ 😁Probably after the Los angeles Motor Show in december, I’d do that.

So here’s a sneak peak of what went down at the Tokyo Motor Show 2017;

Mazda Kai Concept.

Kai is the antidote to the ridiculously busy bodywork (no floating roof here) of Mazda’s larger domestic rivals and the Mazda’s Kai concept on the other hand, is very believable as to what the next-generation Mazda3 could look like.

Mitsubishi E-volution Concept.

Yes, Mitsubishi had the audacity to attach the Evo name to an electric vehicle, an SUV no less. The purists won’t get over it, ever.

The taillights will become a signature design detail. Tech such as autonomous driving and artificial intelligence are also destined for future models. And if it’s quick, powerful, and agile, maybe it deserves the Evo name.

Daihatsu DN Compagno Concept.

If you were looking for a groovy first car and lived in an urban community with tight parking like Lagos, wouldn’t this be great?

The DN Compagno concept has the face of a Volvo, the side profile and roofline of an Audi A3, and the back end like something out of Pininfarina’s 1965 catalog, and It looks even better in person.

Honda Sports EV Concept.

One of the biggest hurdles electric cars have to tackle before they overtake internal combustion cars in the next decade is overcoming the stereotype of EVs being dorky to look at or uninspiring to drive.

But given how good to drive recent Hondas have been, the Sports EV appears promising if Honda ever puts it into production.

Suzuki E-Survivor Concept.

The Suzuki E-Survivor concept is our first official peek at what the next-gen Jimny could look like. Ignore the concept’s open cockpit and electric motors, because more importantly the E-Survivor shows that both dimensionally and visually, the next-gen Jimny hasn’t lost the plot.

Toyota Century.

The two previous Toyota Century models offered big, powerful engines in a ‘V’ configuration, interiors comfier than a room full of pillows and so much legroom Peter Crouch could travel in comfort.

The information released by Toyota suggests that the new Century will infuse up-to-date technology with a classy exterior, similar to that of its predecessors. An example being the electric motor that helps improve fuel economy.

Till my next Post, Peace And Love.
