Toyota adds the Beyond Zero range to its line-up next year, starting with the battery electric vehicle (BEV) bZ4X which arrives in New Zealand from early 2024.
The Toyota bZ series will introduce new driving experiences, new technologies to connect with each other, a zero emissions performance, and a zero-harm experience with additional safety features.
Toyota New Zealand new vehicles vice president Steve Prangnell says the aim is not just to create electric vehicles that eliminate emissions, but to also offer new mobility solutions and maintain an enjoyable driving experience.
“We are aiming to create value for people and the planet beyond zero emissions,” he explains.
“The Toyota bZ4X SUV is the first of a range of battery electric vehicles (BEVs) that we will launch in NZ, which will appeal to everyday New Zealanders.”
The Toyota bZ4X is similar in size to the RAV4 and will be available in two models – the front-wheel bZ4X Pure and all-wheel drive bZ4X Motion.
Both have an underfloor lithium-ion 71.4kWh battery, which can be charged to 80% in 30 minutes at a 150kW charging station.
