It also becomes a high-riding wagon
The Toyota bZ4X gets breathed a bit more flavor, a new 376hp Touring model. It ditches the SUV-shaped body for a wagon, and gains a raft of off-roady bits to tempt those adventure lifestyle seekers. Yep, the bZ4X is definitely

It looks like it’s about to take off and fly
Modellista, Toyota's proprietary tuner and modifier, unveiled its Concept Zero at the 2025 Tokyo Auto Salon. The concept turned out to be a Toyota bZ4X that looks like it traveled through time, into a distant, Blade Runner-type future.While it

Will this join the bZ4X in our market?

Japanese carmakers have been getting extra busy in the region

It’s playing catch up rather than standing out

A lot of big reveals this week
The EV push is real
It's going to be a tough pill to swallow, but it's time to face the music: While there'll always be a place for traditionally powered vehicles, our motoring future will likely be an electric one. Just ask Toyota, which

So this is what the two brands were up to
