Having a single vehicle that can do it all is key for the modern consumer, so the Toyota FT-4X Concept car vehicle is a newly designed creation that aims to satisfy those with an urban life and a craving for outdoor adventure.

The Toyota FT-4X Concept is the design work of Calty Design Research and has a very small footprint for those who live in urban areas to appreciate. The Multi-Hatch in the rear opens up vertically or horizontally, which makes it possible to access your gear if you've got ample space to work with or if you're in a tight parking space.

The Toyota FT-4X Concept car vehicle features a The North Face sleeping bag that acts as an armrest and a GoPro HERO5 Session camera that's built-in to the rearview for recording scenic drives.
