The first Toyota EV bound for the United States has finally been unveiled. Meet the 2023 Toyota bZ4X, the first in a new lineup of “Beyond Zero”-branded vehicles that will quickly grow over the next three years. This all-electric Toyota SUV will have 250 miles of driving range,[1] integrated solar panels, and is expected to go on sale in Nash, Texas, and across America in mid-2022.

Performance and range

The standard bZ4X will feature a 201-horsepower powertrain comprised of a single electric motor. However, there will also be an all-wheel-drive version with two motors and 215 horsepower.

Toyota says it will do 0-60 mph in about 7.7 seconds and, thanks to a 64-kWh battery pack, will go 250 miles on a single charge. It will also be sold with optional solar panels that can add another 1,000 miles of estimated range each year for the average driver.

First Toyota Safety Sense™ 3.0

When it launches, the bZ4X will be the first model to feature Toyota Safety Sense™ 3.0 (currently, the most advanced package is TSS 2.5+). Its enhanced sensor capabilities will allow it to detect cyclists in low-light conditions as well as guardrails, in addition to everything it can already do now (like detect pedestrians and brake at intersections).

Production kicks off in mid-2022, so expect to find the all-new Toyota bZ4X at Robbins Toyota in Nash, Texas, later this year! In the meantime, contact us if you want to know more about the bZ4X and how Toyota is making it easy to go Beyond Zero.
