Toyota bZ: The bZ electric family grows with this compact SUV...

La electrification of the automotive sector continues its course hand in hand with the novelties presented by the firms in the different motor shows. These days the one in Los Angeles opens its doors and one of the brands that will give the most talk is Toyota. The Japanese presented a few days ago the fifth delivery of the Prius And if you thought it would stay still, you're wrong. Yes, because now she surprises everyone with the Toyota bZ Compact SUV Concept.

As you can see in these images and its name well indicates it, we are dealing with a compact size SUV. And its powertrain is electric of the latest generation, but the brand does not indicate its final figures. Therefore, it is a showcase prototype that shows what Toyota's next zero-emission models will be like. However if there is details that you have to pay attention to because it won't take long to see them in a street model. You will see.

The Toyota bZ Compact SUV Concept is a showcase that shows how the brand's aesthetic code evolves...

The front of the bZ Compact SUV Concept sports the same style that the Prius already boasts. That is, very torn LED optics that flow across the entire width of the body. The bumper is bulky but the most characteristic detail is the hammerhead shark nose. If we go to the side we appreciate that the overhangs are short and that the descending line of the roof is very pronounced. Especially when connecting with the "C" pillar where the handle is.

Just that detail, characteristic of the C-HR, gives clues that we could be facing his replacement. Continuing with the style of the bZ Compact SUV Concept, we have several marked lines that, in the form of folds, give shape and muscle to all the sheet metal on the side and under the doors. Nor can we ignore the integration of the front handles into the door plate. And that's it, if we lag behind, Toyota bets on even more aggressive lines and marked.

Toyota bZ4X: The Japanese firm's first BEV SUV debuts in society

First of all there is a very stretched rear window crowned by a double spoiler like the bZ4X. Nor is the shark-type antenna or the third brake light integrated into it missing. There is also a lack of optics that divide the gate and wrap part of the rear. Finally, the design of the diffuser "eats" almost the entire design of the bumper. If we go inside, it stands out for the octagonal frill, digital cockpit or the floating type central touch display.

In addition to a minimalist aesthetic, it has a Artificial Intelligence assistant named Yui. With it, passengers will be able to manage different functions, such as the climate control or the audio system. And finally, remember that it is electric, which is why it has a tiny selector for the change. Of course, Toyota has not said what its powertrain or power is like, but don't be surprised if you see him later as C-HR...

Patience…
