Toyota Motor Philippines (TMP) has released additional details for its first-ever Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV) offering in the country, the all-new Toyota bZ4X, ahead of its anticipated arrival in December, following the opening of the reservation period last November 7.
A notable detail released by TMP is the sourcing of the vehicle. The Philippines will receive the Japan-sourced bZ4X, distinguishing it from electric vehicles often sourced from China. The second piece of information provided addresses one of the most frequently asked questions by prospective buyers: the electric range. “While actual consumption and range will vary based on conditions and driving habits, we were able to register 570 km of EV range,” said TMP President Masando Hashimoto. He noted this figure is based on the internationally accepted Fuel Consumption Test Protocol under UN Regulations No. 101.
The All-Wheel Drive (AWD) BEV SUV is powered by a 73.11 kWh Lithium-ion battery with a maximum output of 343 PS and a maximum torque of 338 Nm. Prices start P2,699,000, depending on the color choice.
Interested customers can reserve the bZ4X online or inquire at any of the twelve authorized Toyota dealerships offering the model, including Toyota Alabang, Toyota Commonwealth, Toyota Global City, Toyota Mabolo Cebu, Toyota Makati, Toyota Manila Bay, Toyota Mandaue South, Toyota North EDSA, Toyota Pasig, Toyota Quezon Avenue, Toyota San Fernando, and Toyota Santa Rosa.
