Toyota bZ4X

The Toyota bZ4X (marketed as simply the Toyota bZ in North America and Ireland since 2025) is a battery electric compact crossover SUV manufactured by Toyota. A Subaru version is marketed as the Subaru Solterra. Lexus also offers a sibling model of the bZ4X, the Lexus RZ. The vehicle debuted in April 2021 as the "bZ4X Concept". It is the first vehicle to be based on the e-TNGA platform co-developed by Toyota and Subaru, and the brand's first model to be part of their Toyota bZ ("beyond Zero") series of zero-emissions vehicles. Worldwide sales of the bZ4X started out in mid-2022, with production planned in Japan and China. Sales in the United States also started in 2022. When first introduced, Toyota said it would be the first of seven "bZ" models to be launched globally by 2025; however, the company fell far short of that goal and began to move away from the bZ naming convention in 2025. The model received a major refresh in 2025, initially for Europe and North America, with design updates and major mechanical improvements such as more efficient motors, improved cooling, and higher power output. For North America and Ireland, the model was renamed to Toyota bZ. An extended length, station wagon-like version was also introduced as the bZ Woodland in North America, and as the bZ4X Touring in Europe. A Subaru version of the extended length version is marketed as the Subaru Trailseeker (Japanese: スバル・トレイルシーカー, Hepburn: Subaru Toreirushīkā), and as the E-Outback in Europe.
