Toyota will preview its mid-sized battery-electric SUV at the forthcoming 2021 Shanghai Motor Show.
The SUV will be based on Toyota’s new e-TNGA platform, which it says is versatile and easily adaptable for a range of product types.
Toyota, a leader in electrification, says more than ninety per cent of all Toyota vehicles sold in Ireland this year have been self-charging hybrid electric cars. As a result, Toyota leads the mainstream market with the lowest CO2 average emissions of 87.08g/km.
With more than 20-years' experience in hybrid battery technology - and as the car brand with the most battery patents - Toyota says it will apply its renowned high standards and expertise to BEV (battery electric ) cars and continue its strategy to tackle sustainable motoring from all angles.
The basic architecture principle of e-TNGA works on the basis that key elements remain fixed while others vary. This approach allows variance in vehicle width, length, wheelbase and height.
e-TNGA can also be defined with front, rear, or four-wheel drive and with a wide-range of battery and electric motor capacities to suit various vehicle types and usage profiles. Toyota says the versatility and flexibility of e-TNGA technology allows it to design and create vehicles that are not just battery-electric, but also exciting to drive and beautiful to look at.
The Shanghai Motor show will take place from April 21 to 28.
