Has Japan's Long Game Paid Off? What The 2025 Tokyo Motor Show Means For You!

The Japan Mobility Show is back with a vengeance, with all brands putting forward a strong showing, showcasing different ideas to appeal to fans of the past, present and future.

Japanese brands were keen to push back against the idea they were lagging behind in the race towards a zero-emissions future, but still stopped short of committing to all-electric as the only method to do so.

Hydrogen, hybrid, traditional combustion engines and even an algae-based drivetrain from Mazda that removes CO2 from the air were all on display.

Founder Tom Baker and road test editor John Law were both on the ground for Chasing Cars for this big week and in this video we’ll take you through what matters and if this is a sign that Japan is in a strong position for the future.
