Toyota reportedly poised to scrap bZ4X badge as new generation of electric SUVs approaches.

Is Toyota finally ditching the bZ4X name with new electric SUVs en route?
SHARE

Toyota’s electric SUV could soon get a fresh start. The Toyota bZ4X, following a tumultuous launch, is poised to undergo a rebranding effort by 2026, adopting a fresh moniker.

Toyota is rebranding its electric SUV as simply “bZ4X”, abandoning traditional naming conventions in favor of a more modern and minimalist approach.

Following its launch in 2022, Toyota’s inaugural electric SUV, the bZ4X, encountered a rocky start in the marketplace.

Despite its initial success, Toyota has since faced challenges in regaining its competitive edge. Through the initial nine months of 2024, Toyota acquired 13,577 units of its bZ4X model in the United States market. Despite being more than double the approximately 6,500 units sold during Q3 2023, this figure still accounts for less than 1% of the company’s total 1.7 million vehicles sold through September.

Given concerns surrounding Toyota’s brand reputation, a complete rebrand of the bZ4X appears necessary. At a recent automotive press event in Quebec, a regional director for Toyota Canada revealed that the company is poised to rename its forthcoming bZ4X model.

As part of a strategic plan, Patrick Ryan, Toyota’s regional director for Quebec and Atlantic Canada, announced that the company will undergo an identity change over the next 12 months.

The 2025 Toyota bZ4X: A Pioneering Step in Sustainable Mobility

Toyota recently unveiled the 2025 bZ4X, suggesting it will likely debut as a 2026 model year offering. The starting price of the 2025 Toyota bZ4X in the US is $37,070, a $6,000 decrease from its predecessor. The FWD model boasts an estimated range of up to 252 miles, while the AWD variant offers a maximum distance of approximately 222 miles.

Toyota markets its bZ brand as “beyond Zero”, highlighting the eco-friendly aspect of its electric vehicles, which aim to erase carbon footprints entirely. In the meantime, the numerical designation – such as 4 in the case of the Toyota RAV4 – dictates the model’s format, while the letter “X” indicates that it is a crossover vehicle.

What’s the latest addition to Toyota’s electric lineup? The 2025 Toyota bZ4X Nightshade edition is here! With its sleek design and cutting-edge technology, this eco-friendly ride is sure to turn heads on the road. What features set it apart from other models in the series?

Within the United States, all Toyota vehicles carry a specific nameplate, except for the RAV4 and bZ4X. A rebranding effort could yield positive results, considering the lukewarm response to the bZ4X’s unique naming convention.

Will Toyota follow suit with the bZ4X after revealing the City Cruiser electric SUV last month? Although its debut as the world’s first three-row electric SUV has been pushed back to 2026, there are whispers that it could herald a completely new naming convention.

The highly anticipated successor to the best-selling Nissan LEAF, the new electric vehicle is expected to boast significant upgrades and improvements.

With its predecessors’ success in redefining the mass-market EV landscape, this newcomer is poised to further cement Nissan’s position as an industry leader. The new LEAF is said to pack an estimated 217 horsepower from dual electric motors, courtesy of a high-capacity lithium-ion battery pack. This powertrain upgrade will undoubtedly enhance acceleration and overall driving dynamics. Additionally, the forthcoming model is expected to feature advanced autonomous driving capabilities, making it one of the most intelligent and connected EVs on the market. In terms of design, the new LEAF is rumored to adopt a more aggressive stance, with sleeker lines, angular LED headlights, and a distinctive front grille. The interior will likely see significant updates, including premium materials, a larger touchscreen display, and advanced safety features like adaptive cruise control and lane departure warning. Pricing for the next-generation LEAF has not been officially confirmed, but insiders suggest it could start at around $35,000 for the base model, making it an attractive option for budget-conscious EV shoppers. With its impressive specs, cutting-edge tech, and affordable price point, this successor is set to be a game-changer in the electric vehicle market. What do you think about the new LEAF?
