The Toyota JPN Taxi is a hybrid electric taxicab that Toyota built to the universal design specifications set by the Japanese government in 2012 after consulting carmakers, taxi companies and disability rights advocates, with the 2020 Summer Olympics in mind. It was shown as the JPN Taxi Concept at the 43rd Tokyo Motor Show in 2013 and has been in production since 2017, mainly for Japan, Thailand and Hong Kong, where it is sold as the Toyota Comfort Hybrid. It is marketed as the successor to the Comfort and the Crown Sedan. Rear seats fold up and a ramp folds out for wheelchair users, and an electrically operated sliding door eases access. Its hybrid system is based on Toyota THS II with a 1.5 litre engine that can run on LPG. Production moved from Susono to the Miyagi plant in December 2020.
