New Limo Concept

Because many limousines are now built to carry twice, sometimes three times the legal number of passengers, there is a continuous push for the larger SUV limousines such as the hummers to be allowed to be licensed as a Passenger Carrying Vehicle (similar to a bus) to allow the limo hire companies to fill their vehicles to capacity.

With this in mind, Toyota have stepped onto the limousine stage and while you may not expect to see the name Toyota in the limousine industry, who expected to see the military Humvees making a shocking and head turning entrance into the luxury car business? So while stranger things have happened, Toyota has introduced a new path for the larger limousines to travel.

The Toyota concept car is described as having living room-like space and is called an F3R. The F3R is a new, attractive and sporty revival of – wait for it – the minivan! The concept is a joint project between Toyota’s Californian design studio and a Californian company, Advanced Product Strategy Group. The design team have worked hard and have put in three sets of seats which have very modern metal-edged bottoms, asymmetrical backs and semi-integrated headrests.

The funky new F3R Toyota minivan can seat eight adults and the chauffeur of the F3R is also well looked after in a seat which reclines and swivels. The passenger seat also reclines to make a comfy bench seat. The seating is also interchangeable with the middle seats being able to split and fold away to incorporate the rear row in a conversation area, just like the kind you would find in a funky furniture catalogue.

With open plan living the go in most modern homes, the interior is designed to give the impression of flow and the instrument panel melds with the doors and the wrap around backrests encase you for a smooth ride. There are also fibre optic lights in the sides of the seats and a lighting panel in the side door which can be turned on to illuminate the lounge area during a chat.

Also, as with any good luxury car, the F3R also has two flat panel monitors which are track mounted and allow for movies, TV or games.

Unfortunately the Toyota limousine is still a concept car, but there are plenty of party buses around which have plenty of room for your big night out. For more information about SUV limousines available for hire in your area, contact Hummer Limo Hire now.
