Toyota bZ4X

The bZ4X (for ‘Beyond Zero emissions ‘4’ X-over), expected in Australia late this year or early in 2023, will be Toyota’s first production EV model.

Expected to sit just above the Hyundai Ioniq 5 (from $71,900), the RAV4-esque five-seater midsized SUV introduces a dedicated EV architecture shared with Subaru’s Solterra EV and coming Lexus RZ EVs.
