Toyota is about to launch its next all-electric vehicle, and it already looks like an upgrade from its current lineup. With a “sleek and stylish design,” the new EV is part of Toyota’s plan to attract more buyers. Here’s our first look at what’s coming.
Toyota teases a new EV ahead of its debut in March
Toyota dropped the first teaser on Tuesday for its “exciting and surprising” new EV, giving us a closer look at the upcoming model.
Toyota is looking to shake things up with this one. The teaser image reveals a crossover coupe-like profile with a sweeping hood line. In the video, you can see additional design elements like a rear lightbar across the back and Toyota’s new “hammerhead” front face styling, similar to the 2025 Camry.
Despite its compact look, Toyota claims the new EV has “surprising space” and versatility, hinting at a crossover SUV.
The new model is likely the production version of the bZ Compact Crossover from 2022. It will join the bZ4X and new Urban Cruiser SUVs in Toyota’s European electric car lineup. Although no other details were revealed, it’s expected to sit between them.

How many teases does toyota need before it can actually launch a real ev? a lot.
Like the recently launched Urban Cruiser, the new electric crossover is expected to have a few different battery options, such as 49 and 61 kWh. It’s also likely to include a similar interior setup with dual 10.25″ driver display and infotainment screens.
Toyota will officially unveil the new electric crossover on March 12. Next month, we will learn more information, including prices and specs.
For those in the US, the company has yet to announce which markets the new EV will launch in. With Toyota’s new $14 billion EV battery plant in the US preparing to ship batteries in April, we remain hopeful. Local rumors also recently hinted at an electric RAV4 as Toyota moves away from the “bZ” naming system.
What do you think of Toyota’s new EV from the preview? Would you like to see it launch in the US, Canada, or other markets? Let us know your thoughts in the comments.
