Toyota will unveil two hybrid concepts at next month’s Geneva Motor Show, the next step in its ambitious plan to have a full range of hybrid vehicles. The first of these vehicles will be the Hybrid X, a concept car that proposes a new design language for hybrid models while also acting as a technology showcase for future hybrid cars.

Alongside the Hybrid X will be the FT- HS Future Toyota Hybrid Sports concept. The front-engined rear-driver will have a projected 0-100 km/h acceleration time in the four-second range, and is said to hint at the styling of the next-generation Supra.

Also starring on the Toyota stand will be the three-door version of the Auris hatch featuring a new paint scheme and a special wheel design. Toyota will also showcase the updated Avensis, which picks up a new touch-screen navigation system.

    looks like the one in the photography could be the concept version of the next generation prius, since it shows the same proportions with that high fastback with a spoiler (morphed here into just a third brake light) in the middle of the glass.

    Has the Toyota company considered optimizing its ability to collect energy from the environment? For example a simple way for new Toyota Hybrids to collect energy would be to place small jenorators to the wheel well, and to add a single solar panal to the roof of the vehickle.
    I would like for the Toyota company not to completely remove the plug in as an option. having the ability to power your own vehicle is atractive to some people.
