Japan’s biggest automotive exhibition, the Japan Mobility Show—formerly known as the Tokyo Motor Show—kicked off its media preview on Wednesday, featuring major automakers’ futuristic concept vehicles and latest technologies. The 2025 Japan Mobility Show has drawn participation from more than 500 companies and organizations, inviting attendees to envision the future of mobility.
Held at Tokyo Big Sight in Koto Ward, the show will be accessible exclusively to invited guests on Thursday, before opening to the general public from Friday through November 9. In addition to domestic and international automakers unveiling new models and prototypes, parts manufacturers and telecommunications firms will showcase cutting-edge autonomous driving technologies, giving attendees a glimpse into the future mobility landscape.
Toyota Motor is exhibiting its Land Cruiser FJ SUV, which is slated for release in 2026, along with a prototype two-door coupe version of its flagship luxury model, the Century. The company is also presenting the next-generation Corolla Concept, planned to be offered in various versions ranging from electric to hybrid models, while its Lexus brand introduced a new six-wheel vehicle.
Honda Motor unveiled its Super-One Prototype, a compact electric vehicle scheduled to debut in Japan in 2026, with plans to expand into the UK and other Asian markets. The EV features a ‘Boost Mode’ for swift and seamless acceleration, along with an integrated sound system that mimics engine noise. The automaker also exhibited a ‘sustainable rocket’ that was test-launched in Hokkaido in June. The reusable rocket, which measures 6.3 meters in length and weighs 900 kilograms when empty, runs on renewable fuel.
