The Toyota FT-CH (Future Toyota Compact Hybrid) is a concept vehicle built by Toyota and first shown at the January 2010 North American International Auto Show. 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."

The Toyota Prius c Concept is a small hybrid petrol-electric car which is the inspiration for a small Toyota hybrid believed to be coming to market by early 2012. It was first shown at the January 2011 North American International Auto Show. The 'c' in 'Prius c' stands for "city"-centric vehicle as it is much smaller than the normal Prius and is aimed at younger buyers without families who don't need lots of space. Reports suggest that the Prius Aqua is likely to resemble the Prius c when launched in Japan at the December 2012 Tokyo Motor Show.
