Toyota has released images of its RiN Concept ahead of its Tokyo Motor Show debut. Designed for “harmony with nature” and a “healthy mind and body,” the RiN offers several unique features. The RiN’s seats help maintain good back posture and the interior even features a mood-sensing steering control that displays the driver’s psychological state on a display.
According to Toyota, the RiN also has an oxygen-level conditioner and pinpoint humidifier, as well as green glass that reduce UV rays and brightens the surroundings. The RiN also uses headlights with light distribution control designed to lessen their intensity for pedestrian and other motorists.

The Yakusugi tree was used as inspiration for the RiN, as seen by the leaf-shaped gas and brake pedals as well as other organic design cues.
