The Toyota Group intends to launch a total of 30 electric models on the market by 2030, both Toyota and Lexus branded. Some models already have; debuted. Let's think, for example, of the Toyota bZ4X and the Lexus RZ 450e. The strategy of the Japanese group, however, is to cover each market segment with its future electric models. At the time of the presentation of this strategy, Toyota had also shown images of some prototypes of battery cars that will arrive in the future. Among these was the bZ SDN Concept , an electric sedan that, once on the market, could be called bZ5 .

A render tries to imagine the final forms of this model that should be compared with cars of the caliber of the future Volkswagen Aero B.
GI? IN DEVELOPMENT?
The look should not differ too much from that of the concept car and present sporty shapes with a roofline that drops almost like in the coup & eacute ;. The front will characterize; for thin headlights joined together by an LED strip. This battery-powered model should be based on the e-TGNA platform which is was developed specifically for electric cars and offers the possibility; to integrate powertrain with one or two electric motors.
It is worth noting that this model appears to already be; under development as a camouflaged forklift is; was intercepted in March on the roads of China. Curiously, & egrave; it was discovered that the car was produced by BYD . Not an oddity, however, as Toyota and BYD have partnered to build electric vehicles in China. This element could suggest that the future Japanese electric sedan could be equipped with BYD's Blade batteries, at least in the version for the Chinese market.
Talking about powertrain & egrave; however still early. Surely Toyota will propose & agrave; the bZ5 in different versions with one or two electric thrusters but & egrave; It is difficult today to imagine the specs as this car is not expected to hit the market anytime soon. From this point of view it is not possible to do is wait for more information. It is speculated that the bZ5 may debut around 2025 .
However, among the 100% electric models that the Japanese manufacturer will launch; on the market there will be & agrave; also the small bZ1, a large SUV and a sports car. For its growth program, the Toyota Group will invest; up to 8 trillion yen (about 58.6 billion euros). For the new electric models and for the development of batteries, the Group will invest; half & agrave; of this figure.
