Toyota Motor Corporation (Toyota) announced that it will be expanding its battery electric vehicle (BEV) lineup in Europe as part of its multi-pathway approach toward achieving a carbon-neutral society.
Toward Carbon Neutrality
Toyota is committed to product and region-centered management with the aim of making ever-better cars. In developing powertrain systems to achieve carbon neutrality, various types of mobility are being rolled out as part of Toyota's multi-pathway approach offering electrified vehicle options tailored to the customer needs in each country and region around the world.
Compared to other regions, Europe has a high rate of electrified vehicle ownership and a high level of BEV ownership. As a result, there is a need to further strengthen BEV products. To accelerate the multi-pathway approach, after launching the all-new Urban Cruiser at the end of last year in Europe, Toyota will be launching the three new models below as a lineup that can cover the B-, C-, and D-SUV segments, which are major parts of the European market.
Toyota C-HR+
A BEV system has been introduced for the powertrain of the new Toyota C-HR+.It has sleek styling that draws attention and offers practicality with its spacious cabin and a luggage space with a generous capacity of 416 liters.Adopts the e-TNGA platform, the specially tuned suspension offers a driving experience with true satisfaction.It is installed with two lithium-ion batteries that include modified battery cells. The base specification has a battery capacity of 57.7 kWh for a cruising range of 455 km*1, while the specification with a longer cruising range has a battery capacity of 77.0 kWh to ensure a cruising range of 600 km*1.
Together with front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive types, a wide range of options are available to customers.The new Toyota C-HR+ is scheduled to launch in Europe in the second half of 2025.Main specifications (development targets) for the Europe-spec Toyota C-HR+
bZ4X (European specifications)
Similar to the Toyota C-HR+, the bZ4X is installed with two lithium-ion batteries. The lineup includes a base specification with a battery capacity of 57.7 kWh and another with a battery capacity of 73.1 kWh for a longer cruising range. The battery options have been expanded in considering diverse customer needs. Together with making eAxle more efficient, the model with a battery capacity of 73.1 kWh extends the cruising range by approximately 70 km*3 compared to the current model.It comes with battery pre-conditioning*4 for the first time, with a development target of rapid charging in approximately 30 minutes*5 under cold conditions by maintaining the battery at a temperature optimal for charging.Driving performance has also been improved by increasing the output of eAxle, reviewing the suspension setting, and other measures. The riding experience, including quietness, has also been brought to a higher level.The new bZ4X is scheduled to launch in Europe in the second half of 2025.Lexus RZ
Continuously pursuing the 'The Natural' driving concept to further refine the LEXUS Driving SignatureOptimizing the battery EV system to achieve an increase in driving range and shorter charging timesExpanding the lineup with the high-output motor-equipped RZ 550e F SPORTAccelerating the 'Dialogue between Driver and Vehicle' with the adoption of a Steer-by-Wire System for a new driving experienceIntroducing Interactive Manual Drive, a feature enabling manual-like control of drive force for an engaging driving experienceMoving forward, Toyota will continue to address customer needs in each region and contribute to carbon neutrality by developing various options―including HEVs, PHEVs, and FCEVs―while striving to make ever-better cars.
