Re: Toyota previews its next electric car, but is it a Suzuki in disguise?

Toyota's small EV likely for debut in late 2025. A Suzuki replica too will appear.

Quote:
The bZ small crossover, which is the younger brother of the Toyota bZ4X, is expected to appear around the winter of 2025 in partnership with Suzuki, which specializes in developing small cars.

The current name of the car is just a guess, but it is likely that it will be renamed bZ1X when it is actually released.
It uses the e-TNGA platform and aims for a cruising range of more than 300 km when fully charged. The price is also said to be in the 3-million-yen range.

Suzuki and Toyota to deepen collaboration in the field of electrified vehicles.

Supply of a BEV developed by Suzuki to Toyota.

The BEV unit and platform adopted for this model were jointly developed by Suzuki, Toyota, and Daihatsu Motor Co., Ltd., utilizing each company's strength.

This new model is scheduled to be manufactured at Suzuki Motor Gujarat in India from the spring of 2025.

The fields of collaboration are diverse and include production and mutual supply of vehicles, and the spread of electrified vehicles. As a result, the market launch of collaboration vehicles has expanded to Japan, India, Europe, Africa, and the Middle East.

This new development marks the first BEV in the OEM relationship between the two companies. It will be launched worldwide, providing a BEV choice even in the SUV market, which is showing remarkable growth. With this new addition, Suzuki and Toyota will further promote their respective initiatives toward realizing a carbon-neutral society.

The new model was designed exclusively as a BEV. A nimble SUV with the sharp driving characteristics of a BEV, it features ample cruising range and a comfortable cabin. It is also available with a 4WD system, offering exceptional drivability on rough roads and a more powerful driving performance.
