Toyota NS4
The Toyota NS4 concept is a dedicated plug-in hybrid, meaning it will use electricity for most trips if the battery is charged, with a greater range than the company's Prius hybrid models. With its long, low silhouette, it sets the direction for the styling of future Toyota vehicles. The NS4 also reaches forward to integrate the latest digital technology to make it safer and easier for drivers to configure the car's interior and performance to their specific preferences. It also features the prototype for a smaller, lighter hybrid powertrain, which will also fuel economy numbers, pushing 100 miles per gallon when it's running on batteries instead of its gasoline engine.
