toyota presents the world premiere of
the all-new bz4x the first model in a
new series of bz beyond zero battery
electric vehicles
faithful in its design and technology to
its concept predecessor revealed earlier
this year the production ready bz4x is
the first model to be developed by
toyota entirely as abev
it is also the first car to be built on
the company's new dedicated bev platform
based on the tnga philosophy this has
been co-developed by subaru and toyota
incorporating the battery unit as an
integral part of the chassis beneath the
vehicle floor it gives the fundamental
benefits of a low centre of gravity
excellent front rear weight balance and
high body rigidity for high levels of
safety and ride and handling quality
the bz4x is a spacious comfortable suv
available with a new all-wheel drive
system that provides class leading
off-road handling and performance with
separate electric motors for each axle
it's clean sleek and powerful exterior
design reflects both its advanced bev
qualities and suv status and debuts a
new brand defining hammerhead frontal
shape communicating the car's strong
stance toyota has produced a sleek and
robust design for the bz4x that's
equally appropriate for modern urban
life and the countryside blending the
advanced look of abev with the original
qualities of an suv
the frontal appearance is smart and
avoids unnecessary decoration
it is characterized by a new brand
defining hammerhead shape with signature
slim headlight units and an emphasis on
the front corners that communicates the
car's strong stance
compared to the toyota rav4 the exterior
dimensions illustrate the design
benefits inherent in the etnga platform
for example the bz4x has an overall
height that's lower by 85 millimeters
shorter overhangs and a wheelbase that
that's 160 millimeters longer than the
rav4 hybrid the bonnet line is also
reduced in height by 50 millimeters
overall agility is reflected in a class
leading 5.7 meters turning radius
the theme for the interior is lagong the
swedish word that expresses something
that is just right
here it is reflected in comfort and
spaciousness that give the cabin the
ambience of a living room a feeling
that's enhanced by using soft woven trim
textures satin finish detailing and the
option of a panoramic roof
the front wheel drive tz-4x is powered
by a high response 150 kilowatts
electric motor
it produces 201 bhp and 265 newton
meters of torque enabling 0 to 62 miles
per hour acceleration in 8.4 seconds and
a top speed of 100 miles per hour
the all-wheel drive model has maximum
power of
214.5 bhp with 336 newton meters of
torque top speed is unchanged while
acceleration to 62 miles per hour is
reduced to 7.7 seconds all performance
figures remain provisional prior to
homologation
the system offers the option of single
pedal drive with a boost in the braking
energy regeneration that lets the driver
accelerate and slow the vehicle using
only the throttle pedal
