The all-electric Toyota i-ROAD mades its global debut at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show. With a width of only 850 mm and Active Lean^© the i-ROAD is perfect for Tokyo’s crowded streets except…
…its “enclosed cabin format designed for a “comfortable, helmet-free driving experience.*” Without air conditioning i-ROAD’s tiny closed cabin would be a sauna in Japan’s nightmarish, nine-month-long summer of 30C/86°F+ heat.
