Waukegan Dealer Says Toyota Has New Hybrid Concept Model

Despite recalls, being slammed in the media, and a slump in the auto industry

, Toyota just keeps the winning ideas coming. The latest and one of the greatest is the new concept car known as the FT-CH. Recently unveiled at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit, this sub-compact has it all.

The small size of the FT-CH concept will allow city dwellers, college students or anyone else whose space is at a premium to deftly maneuver wherever they need to go. Even though it measures 22 inches less than the Prius, this concept claims to have adequate interior space and its other great features will make it an easy sell.

Toyota Kenosha customers will appreciate Toyotas attempt to create more alternative fuel vehicles, including plug-in, hydrogen fuel cell and battery electric hybrids. Designed at its style center in Nice, France, the FT-CH features a retro style. The style is know as 8-bit, after the 80s styles popular when computer game chips had a capacity of 8 bits. The 8-bit style is colorful and cutting-edge, just like the members of the young generation who have acquired this nick-name.

Your Waukegan dealer is also excited that the new FT-CH is lighter weight and gets better mileage than the Prius. It will also have a lower sticker price, which may even get the attention of some Prius fans. After all, this compact will have all the advantages of the Prius as a small hybrid, yet is has some economic advantages over the Prius space- and price-wise. Definitely something to consider for anyone thinking of downsizing a vehicle anytime soon.

Lets face it: when it comes to small cars, Toyota has the experience and the product record to claim expertise. While creating more members of the Prius family, which the FT-CH could potentially be, Toyota plans to sell at least a million hybrid vehicles a year around the globe, but expects most of those sales to be in North America. The company is working on eight new hybrids to be released over the next five years.

Buyers of Toyota Kenosha will want to be the first to test drive this concept when it arrives at the dealership. No word on the arrival date for the FT-CH yet, but you can be sure that Toyota will promote this compact ride in plenty of time.

So if you need something cute and compact with a hint of retro the FT-CH might be the car for you. If you need a bit more space, or a lot more space, check out what your Waukegan dealer has in stock now. Toyota makes a model for every size of family and for every transportation need, from the Prius to the Sienna and everything in between.
