First impression at Toyota Hi-CT car might not make you say “wow”, well we agree that the design is somehow not as stylish as we expect it. On the other hand, Toyota’s team of you Japanese and European designers claimed that Hi-CT is a reflection of what a cool and great vehicle should look like, they want to create something that make people stop and take a good look.
The Hi-CT is a plug-in hybrid with a 1.5L motor and uses lithium-ion batteries, which are located underneath the floor of the vehicle in order to maximize the interior space of the car. While it looks quite boxy and big, it is in fact quite small. The entire vehicle is 3.3 meters long, 1.6 meters wide and 1.7 meters high. It is, effectively, a cube on wheels. Due to the tiny size, it can only carry two persons. However, being a “lifestyle” car, there’s enough space inside it for everything that an active user or two could need. The rear trunk can be modified so that surfboards, bicycles and camping equipment can be carried around for those days where you need to get out to nature.
Looking at inside of the car, we might hear you say “wow” because of its futuristic design, the exterior now doesn’t seem to matter anymore.

If I was going to be doing any highway driving in this matchbox, I’d want to be wearing a crash helmet and full body armor.

I think it’s other cars that will need full body armor, it’s like a tank

this is the ugliest car in the world and has no style at all plus it would be dangerous to even drive, if anyone hit you , you would have to be buried in the car…it would do lousy in the wind also, use common sense, in this day and age when everyone is failing and companies are falling you need to use your brain and stop wasting the consumers time and money ….
