TOYOTA BZ4X
Waited average
Ignore the techno-disco livery, because underneath the ‘camouflage’ is the bZ4X, Toyota’s first attempt at a pure electric vehicle (and mild irritant for fast typers) co-developed between Toyota and Subaru (Toyota doing most of the hardware), with the Subaru Solterra sister car due soon.
Based on the new eTNGA platform, it’s the start of Toyota’s adventures in electric; the ‘bZ’ part of the name referring to ‘beyond zero’, Toyota’s strategy for zero emissions powertrains, with the ‘4’ relating to the size, rather than four-wheel drive – there are both front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive options in the car’s line-up from the start.
