The Toyota FT-CH (Future Toyota Compact Hybrid) is a concept vehicle built by Toyota and first shown at the 2010 North American International Auto Show.[7] Compared to the Toyota Prius, the FT-CH is 22 inches shorter in overall length and less than an inch narrower in overall width. It is lighter in weight and more fuel efficient than the Prius. This concept is targeting a lower price range than the Prius line-up, thus "appealing to a younger, less-affluent buyer demographic."[8]

The FT-CH was designed at Toyota European Design and Development‎. The NiMH batteries are made by Panasonic EV Energy Co - a joint venture between Toyota and Panasonic.[8]
