We reported a few weeks ago that Toyota Motor Philippines (TMP) is venturing into the EV segment with the bZ4X. At the time, we only had a few bits and pieces of information, but now we have the full picture with the brand officially launching the car for sale to the public.

The bZ4X is the brand’s first-ever EV in the Philippines, and it isn’t pulling any punches; the bZ4X (on paper) stacks up against its main rivals. The all-wheel drive bZ4X is powered by a 73.11 kWh Lithium-ion battery and dual motors with a front output of 227 PS and rear output of 120 PS, and a front torque of 269 Nm and rear torque of 170 Nm. It records up to 570 km of EV range (Based on United Nations Regulations 101. Actual consumption and range will vary based on conditions and driving habits). Drive modes include Eco and X-Mode.
The bZ4X features an angular exterior design, LED headlights, 20-inch alloy wheels, and a panoramic moonroof. It has a ground clearance of 200mm and seats up to five people. The power back door with kick sensor provides ease of access for loading and unloading items into the cargo space. Inside, the seats are clad in synthetic leather, with generous second-row space for passengers. Both front and rear seats have built-in heating, while the front seats also have ventilation. Additionally, the driver gets an eight-way power seat that can be adjusted based on memory settings.
