Toyota is on the electric car offensive and has now pulled the cloud of three new models. We went to Brussels for a closer look.
Toyota’s strategy is very much based on adapting the supply to demand. This means, for example, that they do not offer electric cars in the African market, while the European now got two to choose from.
These are updated Toyota BZ4X as well as brand new Toyota C-HR+ and Toyota Urban Cruiser.

Toyota BZ4X – Denmark and Norway’s most popular electric car
Toyota has had a shaky trip with its electric SUV BZ4X, but now comes a long -awaited update. The model, which is already a market leader in Denmark and Norway, has been given longer reach, more powerful engines and better charging.
Updated BZ4X now offers a battery of either 57.7 kWh or 73.1 kWh. The smaller variant has 167 horsepower and front wheel drive, while the larger one is available with up to 343 horsepower and four -wheel drive. The pull weight for the AWD version has also doubled to 1,500 kg.
The range is up to 573 km, and the fast charging of 150 kW has been optimized for more even power. A new 14-inch infotainment screen, better sound insulation and updated suspension raise the comfort, while the front has been given a more aerodynamic design.
Updated BZ4X reaches the market after the summer.

Toyota Urban Cruiser – new electric car with popular price tag
Toyota launches a new electric car in the popular B segment-Urban Cruiser. The model, which is based on a Suzuki Vitara and is manufactured in India, becomes an affordable alternative to Kia EV3 and Jeep Avenger.
Urban Cruiser is offered with two battery sizes: 49 kWh and 61 kWh. The smaller variant has 144 horsepower, front wheel drive and up to 300 km range.
The larger battery provides up to 400 km and can be obtained with either 174 horsepower (FWD) or 184 horsepower (AWD). The four -wheel drive gets an extra electric motor on the rear axle.
Interior, Toyota promises spacious spaces thanks to a long wheelbase of 2.7 meters. The rear seat is adjustable to balance between cargo and legroom.
The driver gets a high sitting position, a 10.25-inch digital dashboard and a 10.1-inch infotainment screen. Apple Carplay, Android Auto and options such as 360-degree camera and JBL sound system are also available.
Urban Cruiser will be launched in the autumn of 2025, when Swedish prices will also be ready.
Toyota C-HR+-New electric car with up to 600 km range
Toyota is based on the success of C-HR and is now launching completely electric C-HR+. Unlike its hybrid variant, it is based on the E-tnga platform and has its own design with a unique front and light ramp.
C-HR+ is offered with two battery sizes: 57.7 kWh and 77 kWh. The range reaches up to 600 km according to WLTP, and fast charging is up to 150 kW.
The engine options range from 167 to 343 horsepower, where the top model with four-wheel drive makes 0-100 km/h in 5.2 seconds-the most powerful Toyota model in Europe after Supra.
Toyota highlights C-HR+ as a driving electric car with specially calibrated dampers and steering. Interior is promised spacious spaces and high comfort.
With one of the brand’s most popular models as a base and long range, Toyota has created an electric car for both new and existing customers. The price will be a key factor, and launch takes place at the end of 2025.
