Toyota has developed U2 (‘U Squared’), a concept vehicle that it says “perfectly suits today’s creative class of mobile entrepreneurs and makers.”  The company will be showcasing the U2  which “represents the future of urban mobility” at the 2016 Canadian International Auto Show which is to be held from February 12-21 at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre.

“From its retracting roof panels, to its uniquely configurable utility rail system, the Uoffers a concept vehicle that is only limited by the imagination,” says Cyril Dimitris, vice-president, sales, Toyota Canada Inc.  “Our North American design team left no stone unturned in masterfully creating a concept vehicle that truly embodies the spirit of today’s Maker culture from the inside out.”

The U2  joins all-new 2016 Prius, RAV4 Hybrid, and other models and technologies at the Canadian International Auto Show.
