Toyota is wheeling out all its current big-hitters at the 2008 Mobility Roadshow, that will enable those who require driving aids to see just how models such as the Aygo, Yaris, Auris, Verso, RAV4 and Prius with the appropriate fitments could make their journeying easier.
The Roadshow will take place at Stoneleigh Park in Staffordshire, running from 12 – 14 June.
Not only will disabled drivers get the opportunity to get up close and personal with the Japanese car manufacturer's extensive selection of adaptable everyday vehicles, but they'll also have the chance of partaking in accompanied rides around a test track so they can get a feel for the individual cars and how they relate to their driving needs.
Mobility experts will be available to talk through the range of adaptations with drivers first hand, such as the swivel and lift-up seating arrangements.
Next-generation Toyota Prius will retain the petrol hybrid concept – but as well as being cleaner than the current model, it’ll be a lot more sporty.
Toyota has launched the new third-generation British-designed Avensis at the Paris Motor Show.
Toyota has debuted the new Urban Cruiser small SUV at the Paris Show, likely to be available in the UK from May 2009.
The production version of the Toyota iQ has gone on show in Paris, with a release date of January 2009 in the UK.
Toyota has developed the SRS (Supplemental Restraint System) - a rear window curtain shield airbag to protect rear passengers’ heads in the event of a rear-end collision.
