Toyota revealed the latest additions to its European BEV range, demonstrating how concepts shown previously have been successfully developed into production-ready models. By the end of 2025, Toyota will have all-new and enhanced products competing at the heart of the key B, C and D-SUV segments, the principal categories of the European automotive market.

The new Toyota bZ4X. The bZ4X was the first battery-electric model to be developed based on the Toyota New Global Architecture philosophy dedicated to BEVs, eTNGA. It is a D-segment car that offers SUV performance as well as styling, with optional XMODE all-wheel drive. Having first been introduced in 2022, the bZ4X will undergo significant visual and technical enhancements in 2025.

The new model will offer customers the choice of two lithium-ion battery packs with different power capacities (57.7 and 73.1 kWh gross capacity) and new stronger electric motors with output of up to 343 DIN hp / 252 kW. A new (optional) 22 kW onboard-charger, a battery pre-conditioning function for faster charging and software updates to provide intelligent BEV-focused route planning, will also be delivered.

All-new Urban Cruiser. The Urban Cruiser is an all-new compact SUV developed from the Urban SUV Concept presented in 2023. While its compact exterior dimensions give it urban-friendly maneuverability, the cabin maximizes passenger space with a slide-adjustable rear seat system. This allows for a generous leg room to rival larger competitors.

Customers have two battery pack options (49 and 61 kWh gross capacity), both using lithium-iron phosphate technology that has the benefit of durability, safety and reduced cost, and the choice of front or all-wheel drive.

All-new Toyota C-HR+. The all-new Toyota C-HR+ has been developed from the Compact SUV concept presented in 2022. It is an all-new, all-electric C-segment SUV, set to compete in the most important part of the BEV market.

Passenger space is on a par with higher class models and there is 416 liters of load space. The electric powertrain technology is shared with the new bZ4X, including the option of two different battery capacities (57.7 and 77 kWh gross capacity) and drivetrains with power output between 167 and 343 DIN hp.

However, the vehicle’s style and dynamic performance are very different, designed to appeal to a different type of customer. All-wheel drive can be specified for extra grip and rewarding control of the high power that is characteristic of an electric powertrain.

2026 and beyond. Toyota will continue to grow its BEV range and deliver on its ambition to reveal 6 new BEV models by the end of 2026. Following the example set by the new Urban Cruiser and Toyota C-HR+, these will adopt a traditional naming strategy to make them familiar and instantly recognizable to customers.

In parallel, Toyota will look to introduce the technology in other vehicle types. An example of its breadth of ambition is the Land Cruiser Se concept, revealed at the Japan Mobility Show in 2023. This explores how a BEV powertrain might be applied to the most iconic model in the Toyota range.

Further into the future, Toyota will roll out next generation BEV technologies, including the advanced batteries previewed in 2023. These include units tailored for low-cost, performance and high performance, together with the launch of the first Toyota solid state batteries with the potential to transform EV performance.
