TOYOTA JUST REVEALED TWO ALL-NEW MODELS // HERE'S WHY I'M EXCITED YET DISAPPOINTED

EV Channels Review

The reviewer expresses a mix of excitement and disappointment regarding Toyota's latest EV reveals for the European market. While impressed by the design and potential of the Sport Crossover Concept and the compact Urban SUV Concept, the primary disappointment stems from their unavailability in North America. The Sport Crossover Concept, potentially a joint venture with BYD and imported from China, is slated for Europe in 2025. The Urban SUV Concept, also European-bound for 2024, is praised for its cute, lifted design and potential for AWD and dual battery options. The reviewer highlights Toyota's advancements in battery technology, including a performance battery offering double the range of the bZ4X and a more affordable LFP battery. However, the much-anticipated solid-state batteries are noted as being low-volume and not expected for mass-market adoption until after 2030, tempering some of the initial excitement.
