Toyota bz4x. What do we know about the new electric SUV?
This is the first car in the new line of bZ (beyond Zero) - battery electric vehicles (BEV). The European premiere of Toyota bZ4X will take place on December 2.
The car has remained true to the design and technology of the concept car unveiled in the first half of 2021. The production version of the bZ4X was developed by Toyota as an all-electric vehicle. This is the first model developed on the new e-TNGA platform for battery electric vehicles. The battery module is integral to the chassis and is located under the floor to achieve a low center of gravity, perfect front-to-rear weight balance, and high body rigidity, contributing to a high level of safety, driving and driving comfort.
The exterior dimensions of this midsize SUV demonstrate the benefits of the e-TNGA platform. Compared to the Toyota RAV4, the bZ4X is 85mm shorter, has shorter overhangs and a 160mm longer wheelbase. The mask line is 50 mm lower. Best in class turning radius of 5,7m.

The front-wheel drive version of the Toyota bZ4X has a dynamic electric motor that delivers 204 hp. (150 kW) and develops a torque of 265 Nm. The all-wheel drive car has a maximum power of 217 hp. and 336 Nm of torque. This version accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 7,7 seconds (preliminary data pending approval).
The vehicle's transmission offers a single-pedal driving mode in which the braking energy recovery has been improved, allowing the driver to accelerate and decelerate primarily with the accelerator pedal.
With a fully charged battery, the expected range should be more than 450 km (depending on the version, the exact data will be confirmed later). The new bZ4X also features advanced technology features such as a solar roof that charges the battery while driving or at rest, as well as the third-generation Toyota Safety Sense 3.0 active safety and driver assistance package.
