The Toyota COMS is a single-seater electric microcar produced by Toyota Auto Body. The first generation was introduced by Araco in 2000.[3] In 2012, Toyota Auto Body launched a second generation.
COMS is an acronym for Chotto Odekake Machimade Suisui (ちょっとおでかけ街までスイスイ),[4] which roughly translates to "a smooth little excursion to the city".
