The Tiny dimensions: length 2730 mm, width 1680, height 1490, and 1900 mm wheelbase, but it can contain four passengers, it is very interesting.

To bring up Toyota's design philosophy is described as a "Vibrant Clarity", the exterior body of the FT-EV appear with bright colors. The interior is a combination of retro-futuristic car that is able to present a picture of the future.

Without a steering wheel & pedals
In this car is no longer found the steering wheel and pedals like a modern car, whether using motor fuel, and electricity (can also combination of the two or hybrid).
