2005 Toyota FT-SX Concept

Toyota FT-SX was developed by Calty Design Research in collaboration with Toyota’s Advanced Product Strategy Group and unveiled at the North American International Auto Show. Designed for young families, the FT-SX explores a new crossover space—lower and wider than an SUV, but taller, roomier, and more versatile than a traditional sedan.

The FT-SX features a bold, two-volume silhouette with four doors and no B-pillars, making entry and exit easier and opening up the cabin. Inside, the layout is designed for four passengers, each with an individual seat. A large glass roof adds light and makes the interior feel more spacious and open.

Power comes from a 3.5-liter V6 engine paired with all-wheel drive, driving large 21-inch wheels that give the car a strong, planted stance. At the rear, the split tailgate improves everyday usability—the lower section drops down close to the ground, while a retractable cargo shelf makes loading easier. Overall, the FT-SX was Toyota’s vision of a sleek, aggressive, and highly practical family crossover, combining style, comfort, and functionality in one package.
