Toyota has confirmed that its next new model will be revealed on February 10.
The automaker released a image on January 28th showing it in shadow from the rear and has now followed that up with one of the interior.
The new photo confirms that it is a three-row SUV and is accompanied by the tagline, “Big energy. Bigger versatility. A new adventure starts February 10th.”
“Big energy” suggests it will be the anticipated large electric vehicle that is set to enter production at Toyota’s Kentucky factory later this year, although there remains the possibility that it will be a new internal combustion engine model.
Nothing in the image confirms the powertrain, but the interior is bathed in a light blue ambient light that has become the semi-official color of electric powertrains in recent years and it has the type of full glass roof that is another signature feature for EVs.

The display on its digital dashboard shows that it will have all-wheel-drive, which is hardly a surprise, while the central touchscreen says it supports Android Auto, Apple CarPlay and Bluetooth, which we’ll take to mean it has the wireless types of the smartphone integrations.
If you’re wondering what the rest of the vehicle looks like, the bZ Large SUV concept revealed in 2021 is probably a good guide. If it turns out to be an EV, it will compete against models like the Kia EV9 and Hyundai Ioniq 9. Details on the timing of the reveal have not yet been shared.
