Toyota Exhibit at New York Auto Show Features New RAV4 Hybrid and Tacoma Models, Engaging Activations

Automaker’s Display to also Include Mirai Fuel Cell Vehicle, Distracted Driving Simulator with Oculus Rift and Future Mobility Concepts

Want to see what mobility looks like today? Tomorrow? Visitors to the New York International Auto Show will glimpse exactly that when they check out the Toyota exhibit. They’ll see the newest hybrid model in the Toyota line-up, the RAV4 Hybrid. The RAV4 Hybrid, the fuel-efficient iteration of one of the company’s best-selling, award-winning vehicles, is making its world debut in New York. 

Toyota’s presence extends to Crystal Palace where the Mirai special exhibit will allow attendees to get up close and personal with Toyota’s revolutionary fuel cell hydrogen concept. The Mirai display will include a mock-up of a fueling station to educate consumers on how the vehicle is re-fueled with hydrogen in about five minutes.

The following are also at Crystal Palace, located near the Mirai exhibit:

• FV-2 three-wheel concept vehicle, which is operated by the driver shifting his or her body to intuitively move the vehicle in any direction.
• i-ROAD, an innovative, fun-to-drive three-wheel personal electric vehicle equipped with revolutionary Active Lean technology that emulates the movements of a skier
• FT-1 concept car and FT-1 racing simulators
• New York Yankees graphic-wrapped Prius
• Sleeper Camry, an 850-Horsepower dragster from the 2014 SEMA show, and the Watkins Glen Camry Pace Car, both from Toyota Motorsports
• Toyota Safety Sense display, featured on the new 2015 Avalon
• Special editions of the 2016 Camry and Corolla
• TeenDrive365 Distracted Driving simulator with Oculus Rift. This is the first time the virtual reality technology is being used to educate people – teens and parents alike – about the dangers of distracted driving. 

Downstairs in the truck space, Toyota will be celebrating another freshly remodeled vehicle – the all-new 2016 Tacoma, with a new 3.5 liter, V6 engine, a redesigned cab, and for the first time, a GoPro mount to capture all of life’s adventures.

Additional vehicles in the lineup of truck display models includes
