Toyota's «haute» hatch is available in SE or XSE trims — both sport a rounded nose with a trapezoidal -
shaped under grille that looks like a catfish's mouth, LED headlights and taillights, and a chrome rear diffuser.
While the standard model has a slim
opening under the grille that extends into slightly larger vents toward the sides, the Trofeo employs a much bigger, trapezoidal vent in the center apron.
The concept also features a Remote Control Drive system that enables the driver to drive the car at very low speed while not actually seated inside it; Laser Terrain Scanning uses lasers to scan the road ahead and map the terrain; and the Transparent Hood (Bonnet) technology uses
cameras under the grille to send video of the terrain being traversed, projecting it to the Head - Up Display in the windscreen.
I wish ASUS hid the
mic under a grille similar to the one the speaker is behind as I really love my symmetry.
Another thing to note is that the actual
speaker under the grille is off - centered as you can see in the image below, thus placing it on the table will not muffle the audio, but actually allow the sound to reflect off the surface it is laid upon towards you.
The new frontal styling with a rounded nose and trapezoidal -
shaped under grille is a further evolution of Toyota's Under Priority Catamaran and Keen Look design philosophies, both of which emphasize Corolla Hatchback's increased width.
There are also slim headlights and vertical air inlets in the front corners, along with a pair of deep
intakes under the grille.
Yes, the van looks a little bit goofy with sensors sticking out on the front fenders and
under the grille, along with massive radar dome.
But the horizontal black mesh intakes
under the grille are hopelessly huge, taking up one - third of the entire face of the car and stealing focus from the grille.
The radar sensor for ACC may be a postcard size patch of black plastic in or
under the grille, behind the grille logo, or it may look like a small circular fog lamp.
Under the grille is a slim, broad air inlet, a body - coloured splitter and twin gloss black spoilers on either side.
