Toyota bz2 Electric Crossover Revealed In Latest Patent Images

Last year Toyota previewed 11 new electric car concepts, ranging from an Aygo-sized city car, to an LFA sports car successor. There was also a small crossover, and a production version of it has now appeared on an Australian patent site. 

The size of the car immediately hints to a second-generation C-HR. It incorporates some styling cues from Toyota’s hybrid small SUV, as well as some from the new bZ4X - a car that was also seen in concept form during last year’s announcement.

Toyota recently filed trademarks for a 'BZ' range of cars consisting of BZ1, BZ2, BZ2X, BZ3, BZ4, BZ4X and BZ5. We expect the 'X' versions will incorporate dual-motor, all-wheel drive powertrains. The BZ2 could potentially be offered with both two-wheel and four-wheel drive variants.
