2023 Toyota bZ4X UK Version

The bZ4X is Toyota’s first all-new battery electric vehicle (BEV). It breaks new ground in launching the company’s bZ “Beyond Zero” sub-brand of zero emission models and in bringing genuine SUV off-road driving capability to the BEV market for the first time. Its introduction will accelerate Toyota’s multi-technology path towards its goal of carbon neutrality. You can find more visual details of the 2023 Toyota bZ4X – UK Version gallery by scrolling up.

The bZ4X’s quality and performance are founded on Toyota’s world-leading experience in electrified vehicle technology, a heritage that spans more than a quarter of a century. The company has also worked with Subaru as its development partner for bZ4X, benefiting from the manufacturer’s renowned expertise in areas such as all-wheel drive engineering.

The bZ4X is not an adaptation of an existing model. Instead, it is wholly original and the first of what will be a series of different bZ vehicles to be constructed on a new Toyota platform dedicated to BEVs. eTNGA integrates the battery unit into the chassis, entirely beneath the vehicle floor. The result is a strong and highly rigid framework and a low centre of gravity, defining factors in the bZ4X’s stable and rewarding dynamic performance. The modular design allows it to be easily adapted for use in a wide range of different vehicle types, spanning small to larger segments.

The bZ4X is available in both front and all-wheel drive versions. The FWD model features a 150kW front-mounted eAxle that produces 201bhp and 266Nm maximum torque. The AWD model, uses front and rear 80kW eAxles with a combined output of up to 215bhp and 337Nm of torque. Superior off-road performance is enabled by the AWD system, with XMODE to give secure and stable performance through mud and snow.

The lithium-ion battery unit has a 71.4kWh capacity and comprises 96 cells which are watercooled and constantly monitored individually for any signs of abnormality or degradation. Toyota’s confidence in the quality of the battery is reflected in a guarantee it will retain at least 70 per cent of its capacity up to 10 years or one million kilometres (620,000 miles) driven (subject to an annual Toyota EV health check, terms and conditions apply).

The bZ4X has an official driving range (WLTP standard) of 317 miles for the FWD version and 286 miles for the AWD model. Fast-charging to 80 per cent capacity can be accomplished in around 30 minutes, in normal temperature conditions. At launch, the vehicle has a 6.6kW on-board charger. Cars produced from towards the end of 2022 will be fitted with an 11kW unit for faster charging performance.

The bZ4X introduces bZ – Beyond Zero – Toyota’s new sub-brand focused on how battery electric vehicles can do much more than deliver zero emissions on the journey to carbon neutrality. Going “beyond zero”, Toyota sees BEVs as key contributors to better mobility for all, helping improve people’s lives with freedom of movement, safety and peace of mind.

The bZ4X is the first in what will be a series of bZ products to be launched globally. Its name references the size of the car – 4 for mid-size – and the vehicle type, in this case X for crossover SUV.

Beyond Zero reinforces the environmental leadership Toyota has achieved since making zero emissions its ultimate goal with the introduction of Prius, the world’s first mass-market hybrid electric car, 25 years ago. Since then, the company has constantly developed and improved its hybrid technology to develop a multi-path approach to reducing and eventually eliminating carbon emissions, with hybrid electric and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles and zero emission battery electric and fuel cell electric models.

Beyond Zero is a wholly human-centred philosophy and will bring new products and services with strong customer appeal that will enhance the pleasure of driving, improving safety for all road users and helping build better societies around the world. It has four core values:

You and Others –the bZ4X has an open and spacious cabin with home-like comfort. There’s generous leg room for rear seat passengers and the atmosphere is calm and quiet thanks not just to the quieter electric powertrain but also to effective measures to block out road and wind noise.

You and Your Car – developing the car from a means of transport into an intelligent partner. The bZ4X is designed for smooth, intuitive driving and has authentic SUV off-road performance. The BEV driving experience informs both the new driver’s cockpit layout and the car’s sleek and powerful exterior design. The latest multimedia technologies provide seamless connectivity and multiple methods for communicating with the car, for information, entertainment and comfort.

You and the Environment – going beyond reducing emissions to actively improve the environment. Going beyond its zero emission performance, bZ4X can generate its own power using an optional solar roof panel, available in selected markets (not including the UK).

You and Society – vehicles that can make a positive contribution to society. With its comprehensive Toyota T-Mate preventive safety and advanced driver assistance systems, the bZ4X improves safety for all road users. In addition to the safeguards provided by Toyota Safety Sense, special measures are in place to monitor the battery’s performance and protect it in the event of an impact.

Toyota’s multi-tech route to zero carbon

Toyota is a “full line-up” manufacturer of vehicles that can help everyone reduce their carbon footprint in all parts of the world. This includes hybrid electric, plug-in hybrid electric, fuel cell electric and battery electric vehicles – the latter range set to grow with the roll-out of new bZ “Beyond Zero” models, starting with the bZ4X SUV. Toyota calls this multi-tech approach “the power of and.”

Since the introduction of the original Prius in 1997, the company has put more than 20 million electrified vehicles on the road. Throughout, it has recognised that environmentally efficient vehicles can only be effective through widespread use: they must be accessible and desirable for customers, meeting their mobility needs.

As the pace of electrification accelerates, Toyota expects to sell 5.5 million electrified vehicles a year worldwide by 2025, with a line-up of 70 models, including 15 zero emission vehicles.

In Europe, its forecast is for 90 per cent of its Western European sales to be electrified vehicles by 2025, of which at least 10 per cent will be ZEVs. This figure will increase to 100 per cent electrified by the end of the decade, with at least 50 per cent ZEVs (a greater proportion if market demand and infrastructure development permit). And by 2035 the target is a full 100 per cent reduction in new vehicle CO2 emissions – potentially earlier in some individual national markets.

This ambition was voiced by Matt Harrison, President and CEO Toyota Motor Europe (TME) at Toyota’s Kenshiki (“insight”) media event in December 2021. He said: “Moving beyond 2030, we expect to see further ZEV demand acceleration and Toyota will be ready to achieve 100 per cent CO2 reduction in all new vehicles by 2035 in Western Europe, assuming that sufficient electric charging and hydrogen refuelling infrastructures are in place by then, together with the renewable energy capacity increases that will be required”.

Carbon neutrality and the Toyota Environmental Challenge 2050

The elimination of carbon emissions figures strongly in Toyota’s Environmental Challenge 2050, a series of six environmental targets set by the company in 2015. Toyota’s global ambition is to eliminate CO2 from its new vehicles, all its business operations, and the full vehicle lifecycle, including the manufacture of parts and materials, logistics and the processes for end-of-life recycling and disposing of vehicles.

By 2050, Toyota aims to reduce CO2 emissions from its vehicles by 90 per cent compared to 2010 levels. Its production centres will see carbon emissions cut to zero, helped by the development of new manufacturing technologies and the adoption of clean and renewable energy sources.
