 Toyota Premi Aqua concept announced, debuts in Tokyo

The company declined to release details but the model features a sporty body kit with modified bumpers, revised side skirts and a new rear spoiler. We can also see distinctive headlights, a mesh grille and a rear diffuser. Last but not least, there's new taillights and two-tone alloy wheels.

The upscale styling carries over to the cabin as the model is equipped with leather sport seats, a new center console and metallic trim. We can also see alloy pedals and gloss black accents.

Power will likely be provided by a hybrid powertrain that consists of an electric motor and a 1.5-liter engine. This could enable the car to have a combined maximum output of 100 HP (73 kW).

The entry-level hybrid boasts fuel efficiency of 35.4 km/L (83.3 mpg US; 2.8L/ 100km).
The Aqua is powered by a 1.5-liter Toyota Hybrid System II (THS II) producing a combined motor and engine output of 100 PS (98 bhp / 73 kW). The petrol engine system features a cooled Exhaust-Gas Recirculation (EGR) system for improved efficiency in the high-expansion-ratio Atkinson cycle engine. Also aiding engine efficiency is a battery-powered water pump. Unlike conventional belt-driven waterpumps, this beltless design reduces friction on the engine and allows precise control of coolant flow.

Starting price for the Aqua is 1.69 million yen ($21,700). TMC plans to sell 12,000 units per month in Japan.
