The ongoing Tokyo Motor Show is open to public up until November 8; however, veils have already been taken off the showstoppers from all the major automakers. And as one would expect, the 2015 edition continues to feature weird and wacky concepts that are a common sight at the Tokyo Motor Show. That being said, this year’s edition has also played host to a number of important debuts ranging from ultra-efficient hatchbacks to track-focussed, exotic looking sports cars.
Listed below are the highlights that made it to the 2015 Tokyo Motor Show:

Jaguar showcased the F-Pace in a spectacular white shade in Tokyo. The car is of special interest to us since we will be expecting it in the Indian market by the first half of next year. It’s an even more special occasion for Jaguar as this will be their first ever crossover model.

Subaru surprised us all with the S207 which, unarguably, is the most ultimate version of the current generation Impreza. Sadly, production for the S207 will be quite restricted, with all 400 units to be sold in Japan only.
British premium small car maker Mini’s highlight for Tokyo has come in the form of the new Convertible model. Fresh for 2016 and with several refinement improvements over its predecessor, the new Mini Convertible is headed for the Indian market sometime next year.
