We’re not quite sure what the deal is with Chinese car names. It’s not like the game of Golf is a particularly popular one in Germany, but they still buy the cars in bulk. What would it be like if all the cars out there had market-specific names? Chaos would ensue!
Fortunately, if you can’t pronounce “Yundong Shuangqing” you don’t have a problem because this is a market specific hybrid concept from Toyota, though it looks like it’s based on the FCV-R Concept from earlier this year.

"We would like to put smiles on the faces of our Chinese customers with hybrid technology," Toyota President Akio Toyoda said in prepared remarks at the show. "I want the people of China to be able to experience the beauty of hybrid technology through a hybrid car born in China."
