Toyota has been surprising everyone with its achievements lately. Not only have they landed a spot as the most valuable auto brand, but it is also releasing new vehicles. Apart from being robust, they are also moving with evolving technology. Now, after much work in the hybrid-electric domain, Toyota is entering the all-electric domain. A new vehicle may be on its way sooner than later.

Toyota Entering The Market
Like many brands that have their dedicated electric car series, Toyota has one too. They are going by the name of ‘Beyond Zero’, which refers to how vehicles are evolving beyond zero-emission. It seems that this platform is going to be shared by Toyota and Subaru EVs. No wonder the brand is coming here, the prospects of all-electric are infinite!
The bZ4X has been developed in partnership with Subaru and is going to go up against the likes of Tesla Model Y, Volkswagen ID 4, etc. These are the top electric vehicles in the brands’ domains and this one intends to match up to them. We have no doubt that the brand will flourish in this area of operation as well.
Engineering Done Right
If we talk about the dimensions of the vehicle, it has a streamlined body, similar to that of the RAV4. Not only that, but the vehicle is going to be available in two variants,
- Front-Wheel Drive
- All-Wheel Drive
Not only is there a difference in configuration but it also boils down to the preference of the driver. The all-electric SUV comes packed with a 71.4kWH battery. This much capacity can allow the vehicle to have a range of more than 430km, depending on the weather and terrain. It is Toyota, after all, so you know the vehicle can handle the uneven ground. The company excels in rugged vehicles.
The vehicle is expected to be revealed in Europe at the end of 2021. However, the public is liable to get them by 2022. As far as the price is concerned, the vehicle starts from an equivalent of Rs.8,127,000/-
