Toyota announced that it’s ready to ship its fully electric Toyota bZ4X in Europe as early as this summer. The vehicle is based on the e-TNGA platform and will be offered in two versions – a dual-motor iteration and a single-motor one.
The option with two motors is AWD with up to 470km WLTP range, while the FWD configuration is rated at 516km autonomy. Both of them will sport a 71.4 kWh battery, which is the same one used in Japan.
The battery itself is marketed to retain 90% of its capacity after 10 years of normal use or after about 240,000km. An optional extended warranty for up to 1,000,000 km will also be offered, which guarantees 70% capacity retention. Using a 150kW DC charger will replenish about 80% of the battery in 30 minutes.
The FWD version sports a 150kW motor with 265Nm of torque while the AWD’s peak output is 160 kW (336 Nm of torque).
It’s probably important to note that the first vehicles will ship with a 6.6 kWh onboard charger while the three-phase 11kW charger suitable for most European countries will ship in Q4 2022.
