About the Toyota WiLL Vi
The WiLL Vi was the first automotive product of the WiLL project, a multi-industry marketing collaboration in Japan designed to appeal to a younger demographic. Based on the NCP19 platform shared with the Vitz/Yaris, its most striking feature is the 'cliff-cut' reverse-rake rear window, reminiscent of the Ford Anglia or Citroën Ami 6. The interior continues the unique theme with a bench-like front seat and a dashboard designed to resemble a loaf of bread. While mechanically conventional, its avant-garde styling and short production run have made it a cult favourite among JDM enthusiasts.
