Toyota has unveiled at the 2021 Los Angeles Auto Show its first global all-electric model, the Toyota bZ4X, which will enter the market in mid-2021. It should actually arrive at the U.S. dealerships in Spring. It's expected to be available in all 50 states.
Just like in Japan, there will be two versions of the Toyota bZ4X:
- front-wheel drive with 150 kW electric motor and 71.4 kWh battery for up to 250 miles (402 km) of range
- all-wheel drive with 160 kW system output (2x 80 kW) and 72.8 kWh battery (the range estimation was not disclosed)
The main difference compared to the Japanese version is that the AWD version has a 72.8 kWh battery (we guess that there will be two separate battery cell suppliers - thus the difference).
The good thing is that the battery should be really long-lasting with target capacity retention of 90% of initial capacity after 10 years of ownership.
The Toyota bZ4X is based on the BEV-dedicated e-TNGA platform jointly with Subaru. The car itself will be offered also as the Subaru Solterra (in the U.S. only in AWD version).
The Japanese manufacturer has provided the few first pre-production bZ4X units to the media for static preview of the car, so let's take a look at this new model.
In our opinion, it might be a very important model to attract Toyota's customers to BEVs, but its success is of course highly dependent on the pricing.
