Toyota: The first electric car is called BZ4X

BZ4x - to pronounce this alphanumeric tongue crusher, you have to start first. And also to keep him in mind. Yaris or Corolla characterize a decidedly supple. And yet behind the cryptic name is a plan. He is called Beyond Zero (abbreviated BZ ) and says the environmental strategy of the Japanese manufacturer, 4x in turn stands presumably for the optional all-wheel technology.

Cooperation with Subaru

BZ4X So: The crossover marks the pure electric sister model of the 4.60 meter long hybrid SUVS RAV4. However, the BZ4X is based on Toyota s special electric platform E-TNGA. She was developed together with Subaru and should produce further derivatives in the future, which are then also own subaru models.

2023 Toyota bZ4X Concept: *Hands On* With Toyota’s First Serious Electric Car – Redline: First Look Whether the steering wheel of the One-Motion Grip system will look like this even in the production model remains to be seen. Manufacturer

The electric drive of the BZ4x is composed of a 71.4 kWh battery and a 150 kW / 204 hp electric motor on the front axle. Optionally, there is four-wheel drive, in this case, a second electric machine with 80 kW / 109 hp is active at the rear axle, total system performance is 160 kW / 218 hp. The all-wheel system also represents a community development with Subaru.

Extroverted design

Design technology shows the BZ4X Toyota-typically extroverted. As an electric vehicle, he can afford a closed front, the roof line falls couped and opens into a two-part roof spoiler, a long wheelbase is combined with short body covers. Up to five people can ride, the luggage compartment takes up to 452 liters.

450 kilometers range

On the wallbox or public charging column, the new electricity operates three-phase and up to 11 kW; When loading DC (DC), Toyota does not connect to the Chademo standard spread in Japan, but installs a CCS2 port. At the 150 kW station, the battery should bring to 80 percent charging stand within half an hour. A full battery allows around 450 kilometers range.

Trust-forming: There is a ten-year warranty on the battery, 90 percent of the output capacity will still have to exist. Manufacturer

In addition, a PV module for the roof can be ordered for an extra charge, which collects both during the ride and in the stand s solar energy and - so insured Toyota - generates solar power for around 1800 kilometers of additional travel route per year. Another technical feature is the one-motion grip system, an electronic steer-by-wire steering that gets the BZ4xal first Toyota and where there is no more mechanical connection between steering wheel and wheels.

Toyota has not lost anything about price requirements. It is important, however, is that the BZ4x will be available from 40,000 and 45,000 euros.
