The most interesting part of the report is not about the potential name, size, or platform. The report alleges Toyota intends to launch the Land Hopper with gasoline and hybrid powertrains instead of a purely electric drivetrain. That would come as a surprise considering the Compact Cruiser concept (pictured below) from late 2021 was an EV.<\/p>\n
Best Car<\/em> believes a zero-emission variant might come in a few years, but the initial versions will be pure gasoline and hybrid. The publication claims the Land Hopper could borrow the 1.8-liter gasoline and hybrid powertrains from the Corolla Cross or the bigger 2.0-liter gasoline and 2.5-liter hybrid setups from the RAV4.<\/p>\n As to when we’ll see it, that remains a mystery. For what it’s worth, the Century SUV was teased in June in a similar manner during the premiere of the Alphard and Vellfire minivans before being introduced earlier this month. Assuming Toyota has a similar strategy in place for the Land Hopper, the debut could take place late this year or in early 2024, but this is merely speculation on our part.<\/p>\n Toyota Compact Cruiser EV Concept <\/h3>\n
