◆ Futuristic design
Toyota bZ4X uses the Toyota family's latest "Activity Hub" design concept, the overall shape is almost 100% restored to the design of the concept car, and thanks to the characteristics of the electric vehicle model, its design style is also more bold, avant-garde shape completely get rid of the shackles of the previous Toyota inherent design ideas, the shape can be more attractive to the attention of young people.

◆ How good is the e-TNGA architecture
bZ4X was born from the e-TNGA architecture, Toyota first released the platform at the end of 2020, it and the TNGA architecture has a certain degree of similarity, the length, width and height of the vehicle, wheelbase, the length of the front and rear suspension can be set by themselves, high-level models with high-power motors and larger capacity battery packs, lower level positioning of the car is the opposite, the use of low-power motors and smaller capacity battery packs. That is to say, the e-TNGA architecture will not only produce cars, SUVs, but even large-sizeD MPVs.
The low center of gravity and high rigidity of the body are the characteristics of the e-TNGA architecture, and the tolerance in terms of motor number, suspension structure and battery capacity is also high. The end result is that the time to develop a new car is further shortened.
The Toyota bZ4X adopts the X-MODE four-wheel drive system jointly developed with Subaru and is equipped with the newly developed Grip-Control intelligent creep mode, which can give full play to the direct characteristics of motor torque output, whether on the road or in the field, can provide a better driving experience for drivers.
