Toyota unveils brand-new bZ4X all-electric concept

Toyota has unveiled its first all-electric vehicle, the new Toyota bZ4X earlier this week, and in the process gave us a glimpse of what’s to come at the automaker who pioneered the hybrid vehicle in Canada.

The new bZ4X is heading to production which should begin next year, and when you look at the vehicle you can tell it’s ready to hit the production line. The interior looks like a vehicle you would find in our showroom in terms of the design, although the bZ4X will have its own unique interior. It will be joined by 7 bZ models in the next few years as the bZ lineup (Beyond Zero) will designate electric vehicles at Toyota.

The brand didn’t provide too much information about the bZ, it’s still early, but we know it will be built on the new e-TNGA platform, and that it will feature an advanced all-wheel drive system.

“The Toyota bZ4X concept points to yet another option in our already robust electrified portfolio,” said Bob Carter, TMNA executive vice president of sales. “At Toyota, we are a human-centered company – the customer is our CEO and will ultimately decide which technologies will carry us toward a carbon neutral future. With investments and product offerings across the spectrum of electrification, we intend to be there with products and technologies that meet the diverse needs of customers around the world.”

Toyota plans to have 70% of its global sales be electrified vehicles by 2025 and also announced new hybrid models to come including the Tacoma and Tundra pickups. To learn more about Toyota’s electrified lineup, contact us today!
