Seems like a Juke with a Toyota badge.

It’s definitely a product of Toyota’s modern “let’s make everything batshit insane, because the only way to get out of beige is the exact opposite of beige” approach.

Weird powertrain choices, though.

1.2T in FWD manual, and FWD and AWD CVT for Europe and Japan, fine - that level of downsizing only really makes sense for Europe, but...

2.0 FWD CVT for Eastern Europe and America. That’s fine, but no AWD option? The platform supports it, and for some reason I’d think the 1.2T and 2.0 are probably using the same CVT family.

1.8 FWD hybrid for Europe and Japan. Again fine... But no AWD option, when the Gen 4 Prius, on the same platform, with the same hybrid powertrain, has an AWD option? And, given the RAV4 Hybrid’s success in North America, are they afraid of cannibalizing its sales, and that’s why they’re not bringing the hybrid here?
