As America embraces the electric wave across the automotive landscape, Toyota is taking the initiative. By 2025, Toyota has announced it will release 15 new electric vehicles. Want even better news? They'll be coming to a Toyota dealer near you! As each electric Toyota vehicle makes its debut, we'll have it ready and waiting for you to drive around Somerset, KY. At Toyota of Somerset, we can't wait to introduce you to these all-new Toyota EVs throughout the next five years.

Meet One of the Expected New Toyota Electric Vehicles

Toyota was one of the pioneers in the electric vehicle movement, backed up by the lineup's extensive range of hybrid and plug-in hybrid — labeled as Prime — models. That's why Toyota's latest announcement to introduce 15 brand-new electric vehicles by 2025 comes as no surprise.

Over the course of the next five years, there are certain types of EVs Toyota is expected to release. These include battery-electric, hydrogen fuel cell, and gas-electric hybrids. Toyota came up with this idea to offer Danville, KY drivers a range of diverse choices.

Recently, Toyota unveiled a new concept for a particular EV model we anticipate to debut next year. It's labeled the bZ4X. Expect the Toyota bZ4X to be one of the lineup's first-released electric vehicles, likely arriving in the summer of 2022.

What will the Toyota bZ4X entail?

The Toyota bZ4X has a catchy name, and its intriguing concept will be drawn upon for other models with the bZ branding in the future. The bZ brand moniker stands for "Beyond Zero." The Toyota bZ4X will be built on a e-TNGA platform, enabling vehicles of various types and sizes, varying battery capacities, and whether they're powered with front-wheel drive, rear-wheel drive or dual-motor all-wheel drive.

While performance metrics like range and battery power will be a big part of the equation, the Toyota bZ4X's interior is sure to be an eye-popper. A unique instrument cluster and a screen set back from the steering wheel will improve driving visibility for London, KY motorists. A central infotainment screen will appear to float above the dash rather than being embedded.
