Toyota has released a teaser picture of a new city car concept called the i-TRIL, which will be fully revealed alongside the facelifted Toyota Yaris and hot Yaris GRMN at the 2017 Geneva Motor Show.

The picture doesn't show much, but the small grille and LED lights suggest that it'll follow along from the quirky i-ROAD in being a small, unusually-shaped electric city car. It looks fairly tall and thin, but Toyota has confirmed that the i-TRIL will seat three in a one-plus-two layout.

Toyota says that the concept "showcases Toyota research innovations in delivering better mobility that is also kinder to the environment," and it also features the same 'Active Lean' tech that was used on the i-ROAD. 

The car has been designed to be fun at lower speeds, and with its all-electric powertrain it's a similar concept to the Renault Twizy electric car as well.

There's no other details on the car yet, but expect a similar construction to the i-ROAD, with lightweight materials, a low-powered electric motor and a top speed of around 30mph. 

Check back on 7 March for full coverage of the Geneva Motor Show 2017.
