The Toyota FT-4X is an urban SUV concept that’s been revealed at the New York motor show. The car has been designed for millennials by Toyota’s California Calty studio and features a tough, boxy styling and a raised driving position.

It gets an integrated GoPro camera and removable and interchangeable panels to enable customisation.The car also features a toughened-up section in its cabin to enable all-weather protection and water resistance.

The car is based on Toyota’s new global architecture C-Platform, and stands almost as tall Range Rover Evoque. It sits on 18-inch wheels wrapped in off-road tyres.

The FT-4X concept doesn’t feature an engine, but Toyota said if it did, it’d likely be a small-displacement, four-cylinder unti driving all four wheels. The car would use a selectable low-range gearbox to boost its off-road ability.

“You can really tell that we had a blast designing the FT-4X because it looks fun to use and fun to drive,” said Calty Studio chief designer Ian Cartabiano.

“I love this idea of mechanical satisfaction because while we’re living in today’s digital world, we took something that’s based on physical movements and made that a large part of what this vehicle is. We want everyone to interact with this car and feel a sense of delight and excitement.”
