Toyota Sport Crossover Concept.

Along with the Urban SUV Concept, Toyota also unveiled this new Sport Crossover Concept in Belgium today. And I think it looks great.

It seems Toyota has 2 teams of designers (or suits approving the designs), the good one and the bad one. While the “good one” was hard at work on the 2023 Prius and the new C-HR for Europe, the “bad one” was busy with the 2025 Camry. This new concept is definitely the work of a really good team.

The concept is a preview of another all-new EV coming to Europe in 2025. Toyota first showed the concept at the Auto Shanghai show a few months ago, as the new EV was developed for both the Chinese and European markets. That is usually a code word for “not for the US”…

If the new Sport Crossover concept seems familiar, it’s only because we’ve seen that shape before. It does look a lot like last year’s BZ Compact SUV we saw at the Los Angeles Auto Show.

Toyota had also released a strange black and white teaser a couple of years ago ( I think it was), of a very sleek fastback “future EV”. Which now resembles a lot the new port Crossover Concept. But also looks a bit different.

Then we saw the same concept we are seeing today a few months ago in China. (Yellow car)

This is a very nice and modern design that doesn’t really feel like an SUV, which is very refreshing. A sportier, slightly higher, very sleek hatchback sedan for people who don’t want an SUV. I just hope one of these, at least the one we saw in L.A. last year, is still in the cards for the North American market.
