Toyota introduces the Toyota bZ4X Concept, the first of a global series of battery-electric vehicles to be introduced under its ‘Beyond Zero – bZ’ badge. The bZ compact crossover concept that debuted at the Los Angeles Auto Show is meant to showcase Toyota’s vision for its battery-electric future. Toyota has said it plans to launch 30 fully electric vehicles, including five under the badge.
Toyota said the sleek bZ concept pushes the wheels to the corners to achieve an aggressive stance, making it appear in motion when parked. Its silhouette displays short overhangs, sweepback angles, and a “narrowed-down cabin design” to create a futuristic look, according to the automaker. At the front, it features C-shaped LED DRLs, that are similar to the ones seen on the new-gen Prius. The main headlamp units are placed below and are linked by an illuminated strip. It also has a crisply-styled front bumper with a pixelated pattern at the lower edge.
Inside, the model showcases a minimalist design with seating that is made from plant-based and recycled materials and flaunts a semicircle-shaped yoke steering wheel. Toyota says that the seats are made from plant-based and recycled materials. Yui, the name of the AI-based “personal agent,” responds to requests from the front or rear passengers using sound and lights that “move around the cabin.”According to the statement put out by the automaker, the SUV concept car showcases a “possible vision of the very near future” for its EV lineup. Toyota is yet to provide any details on the powertrains for the bZ Compact SUV. However, the carmaker says that it is focussing on driving pleasure and sporting performance with the concept. The company also didn’t give a timeline for the launch but said the portfolio will support its goal to go carbon neutral by 2050.
