TOYOTA BZ4X CONCEPT 2023

MAIN FEATURES Toyota revealed its new BZ (Beyond Zero) sub-brand for electric vehicles. It’s a small crossover similar in size to the top-selling RAV4, and it’s due in showrooms in mid-2022 as a 2023 model. The BZ4X rides on a newly developed platform, dubbed e-TNGA. It’s the first dedicated-EV platform for Toyota, and you can expect to see it in multiple models from Toyota (and Lexus) in the coming years. Toyota said it plans to have 15 zero-emission vehicles in its lineup by 2025! The 2023 BZ4X has a single battery with a capacity of 71.4 kilowatt-hours and buyers can choose from a front-wheel-drive powertrain with 201 hp or an all-wheel-drive setup with 214 hp. A top speed wasn’t mentioned but 0-62 mph acceleration takes 8.4 seconds with FWD and 7.7 seconds with AWD. Toyota estimates the front-wheel-drive model at about 250 miles range. An estimate for the all-wheel-drive model wasn’t given but should be lower than 250 miles. Charging at up to 150 kilowatts is possible, w
