The Toyota C+pod (stylised as C+pod) is a two-seat battery electric kei car manufactured by the Japanese automaker Toyota. Its design was previewed by the Ultra-Compact BEV concept car from October 2019,[1] and its production form was revealed on 25 December 2020.[2] The first batch was sold limited to corporate users, local governments and other organisations in Japan. It is later sold to individual customers starting in December 2021.[3][4]
Due to its dimensions, it qualifies under the kei car dimension category in Japan.[5] It is the latest vehicle not to use up the maximum dimensions allowed for by the kei car regulations after the Subaru R1. 2 seats, top speed limited to 60 km/h.[6]
The C+pod is slated to be discontinued in the second quarter of 2024. Regarding the discontinuation, Toyota stated that the vehicle "had fulfilled a certain role as a small mobility vehicle."[7][8]
