Toyota Motor Corporation (Toyota) has concluded plans to launch its all-new bZ4X BEV on May 12, 2022.
Making the announcement on its website on Tuesday, the auto maker described the new car concept as an “Activity Hub”
With the new car, Toyota aims to achieve innovation in all areas including the interior, styling, driving sensation, and performance with the aim of creating exciting cars where all passengers can share an enjoyable time and space.
A BEV-dedicated platform, a first for Toyota, was developed with Subaru based on the e-TNGA philosophy to achieve attractive, smooth, intuitive driving performance, not just for a BEV, but for any car, as well as the off-road performance of an authentic SUV.
The new bZ4X offers superior power efficiency performance (128 Wh/km*2) and sufficient cruising range for practical driving (559 km*2). In addition, development was conducted with a target of achieving a world-leading battery capacity retention ratio (90% after 10 years*3) in the pursuit of a BEV that can be used for an extended period with peace of mind.
In addition to seeking a high level of safety for the battery itself, Toyota Safety Sense, Toyota’s latest active safety package, as well as a body structure that can respond to collisions from all directions, a battery pack that contributes to ensuring protection performance in the event of a collision, and other safety features have been adopted in the pursuit of a BEV that can be driven with peace of mind.
According to Toyota, all vehicles will be available for lease to eliminate customer concerns regarding residual battery performance, BEV maintenance, and residual value.
“Also to contribute to the achievement of CN,” it stated, “battery management will be implemented for all vehicles by using batteries without waste through the 3Rs (Rebuild, Reuse, Recycle).
“There will also be a maximum 10-year term with guaranteed battery performance, Monthly payments decrease in stages starting from the fifth year with no early cancellation fees. “Measures will also be taken to improve leased bZ4X vehicles in conjunction with technological innovations.”
