Today the talk is about something new that will leave electric car lovers speechless: Toyota, this giant that we respect, has just launched its first electric SUV, the BZ4X, and it's not just any launch, okay?
O Toyota's new electric SUV BZ4X arrives with one battery warranty of 10 years or one million kilometers driven. It's to eliminate the fear of those who are still in doubt about jumping on the electric bandwagon!
First, let's understand this name that seems like something from another world: BZ4X. “BZ” is the acronym for “Beyond Zero“, showing the commitment of Toyota with sustainability, and the “4X” indicates that it is a SUV.
A Toyota, who is already a veteran in the world of hybrids with the Prius, now he's showing that he also knows how to play the tram game.
Plenty of power and technology from the Toyota BZX4
The BZ4X is not just a pretty face in the world of Electric SUVs. It comes in two versions: one with a 204 horsepower engine and the other with two engines, totaling 218 horsepower.
And it doesn't stop there: it has a 71,4 kWh battery that promises a autonomy of up to 506 km. And if you're in a rush, it recharges from 0 to 80% in just 30 minutes with a 150 kW charger.
Guarantee that the new electric SUV is a show apart
Now, hold this: the Toyota is offering a 1 million kilometer warranty or 10 years for the battery BZ4X. This is a slap in the face of prejudice against durability of electric batteries.
And even after all this time, the Toyota guarantees that the battery will still have at least 70% of its original capacity. Is it or isn't it to take off your hat?
Price and competition such as BMW, Volvo and Peugeot
Speaking of money, the BZ4X is selling for around 130 thousand reais in China, but if you come to Brazil, the price should be a little higher, somewhere around 270 to 280 thousand reais. He will fight in the ring with cars like the BMW iX3, Volvo XC40 Recharge and the Peugeot e-2008, each with their weapons.
A Toyota It's keeping an eye on Brazil, but it's waiting for us to improve our electric charger infrastructure. Meanwhile, we are here cheering and waiting.
