Toyota unveils its first electric vehicle

The Toyota bZ4X unveiled earlier this week is Toyota's first fully electric vehicle. While not all of the details on this new model are known, we do know that it will go into production by 2022 and that it will be the first in a long line of electric vehicles to come to Toyota.


The Toyota bZ4X is indeed Toyota's first 100% electric vehicle. The Toyota bZ brand, for its part, will be used to designate all of Toyota’s electric models.


“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.”


Built on Toyota’s new e-TNGA platform, the new Toyota bZ4X will also feature sophisticated full-time all-wheel drive. Production is expected to start next year, and the first deliveries are expected in 2022.


Toyota also plans to offer several new electrified models in the coming years, including hybrid and electric versions of the Tacoma and Tundra. Toyota's bZ range will eventually have 7 models.
