The Toyota JPN Taxi (Japanese: トヨタ・ジャパンタクシー, Hepburn: Toyota Japantakushī), sometimes known as the Toyota Japan Taxi,[1] is a hybrid electric taxicab built to universal design specifications mandated by the Japanese government.[2][3] Exhibited as the JPN Taxi Concept at the 43rd Tokyo Motor Show in 2013, it has been produced by Toyota since 2017, mainly for the Japanese and Hong Kong markets.
Marketed as a successor to the Comfort and the Crown Sedan, it is currently being manufactured by Toyota Motor East Japan under the supervision of chief engineer Hiroshi Kayukawa.[4]
