"At Toyota, we consider this car to be our main environment-friendly vehicle in the next generation after the current hybrids. It can run on electricity, and it has very wide appeal. So the idea is, this car represents a good balance between EVs and hybrids."
"We started accepting orders yesterday and we plan to release this car on January 30."
"Charging takes 1.5 hours at 200 V, and 3 hours at 100 V. In JC08 vehicle testing mode, this car can go 26.4 km on electricity alone. As an EV, its top speed is 100 km/h. So you can get around town entirely on electricity. Also, you can run the battery down without worrying. After it's run down, the car switches to hybrid mode without stopping. As a hybrid, it achieves 31.6 km per liter. So fuel consumption for EV and hybrid running combined is 61 km per liter, calculated using the Japanese standard method."
"This is the S Grade model, which will be priced at 3,200,000 yen. In Japan, there's a subsidy of 450,000 yen for low-emission vehicles. So the customer pays just 2,750,000 yen."

"Our concept in developing this car was, to make a light, low-cost vehicle that uses very little battery capacity, but lets you go as far as you need to. We did all kinds of customer surveys, and we found that going 50 km a day covers 70-80% of people's needs. We currently expect this car will go 105 km on one charge. As our goal, we wanted to mount the minimum amount of battery capacity possible to be able to do this, as well as to make it cheaper and lighter. So our main focus through the development stage was conserving energy while the car is running."
"We'd like to release a production version in 2012, so this model is virtually in the final phase of development."
"As an EV, this car is definitely fun to drive. We also wanted to make it look like a fun EV. For today, we've decorated it specially, but we think we might release it with a very similar appearance. Making it a fun car was also part of the concept."

"We'd like to commercialize this next-generation fuel-cell car in 2015. With that in mind, the core of this fuel-cell concept is practicality. We'd also like to make this an innovative car. Toyota previously made a fuel-cell SUV, but a key aspect of this concept is, to provide a sedan model by developing a smaller fuel cell unit."
"This is currently a design concept, but it has reached the stage where we've got a car that actually runs."
"Based on last year's costs, we'll be able to price this car below 10 million yen. We're working hard to bring the price down further, by steadily reducing costs."
