About Toyota Miridon

The Toyota Miridon project began with a simple child’s drawing of the character Miridon. Developed to embody the idea that dreams can become reality—"imagination creates the future"— engineers utilized their skills derived from experiences at Toyota to bring this character into the real world. Miridon can transform from a four-legged walking mode to a biking-like driving mode.
