The Toyota FT-EV II seems to have it all: it's smaller than the current iQ yet it has room for four seats.
So how has Toyota done it? The iQ was heralded a work of genius packaging-wise: it had a 3+1 seating set up and was little longer than a Smart.
Well, with the FT-EV II, unveiled yesterday, the company has included a joystick that means it doesn't need to use up vital space required with traditional car controls.
There are also two sliding doors that make entry and exit into the car much easier and an extended windscreen for excellent all-round vision.
Like most of the concepts at the show, it's an electric plug-in, which means less room is needed for a bulky powertrain.
