RiderTua.com – Toyota has been successful in launching the bZ4X electric SUV in the global market, especially in Indonesia. Even though only one model has been released, this model has won many buyers by offering a number of advantages. However, Toyota still wants to expand its electric SUV line-up. Only this time they are using the Suzuki eVX base for their new car.
Toyota and Suzuki are Developing New Cars Again
Regarding electric cars, Toyota can be said to be superior in this regard, even though the products offered in a number of countries such as Indonesia are still limited. It seems that they have now realized that their line-up of BEV cars is only small, and that too for SUV models. So they then plan to develop other new models.
Unlike before, Toyota chose to use the basis of an existing model. They are said to be using the Suzuki eVX as a basis, which is actually still a concept car that has not yet received a mass production version. But Suzuki itself is said to be producing it in the near future, although the launch schedule has not been announced at this time.
Sold in Europe?
Using the eVX base is actually fine, especially since Toyota and Suzuki have been working together for a long time in developing cars. Toyota can also provide additional details to the model, such as rear door handles that are tucked into the C-pillar like the C-HR. There won’t be many changes to the design, except for changing the logo.
Toyota’s new electric SUV candidate will also use an electric drive similar to the eVX, and use a battery with a capacity of 48 kWh or 60 kWh. That alone is enough to provide optimal performance for an SUV like this. The name has not yet been decided at this time.
