Aimed squarely at city dwellers, Toyota has released images of a car that takes boxy Japanese cars into the next generation.
Hi-CT hints where it will spend most of its life in its name and, like the 1/X concept, packs a plug-in hybrid technology beneath its cardboard box lines. This provides for a large electric-only range compared to today's versions and is ideal for the urban commute.

Extreme sports enthusiasts, meanwhile, will be able to take advantage of a removable boot that can be replaced by a deck to secure surfboards and mountain bikes.
