Toyota is rumored to be changing the name of the bZ4X electric SUV next year, according to a report from the Kanana Motor Illustrated website which was confirmed directly by Toyota.

Quoting from the Drive page, Monday, December 23, the certainty of name change for the model was disclosed by Canada's Toyota Regional Director for Quebec and Canada's Atlantic Patrick Ryan.

It is stated that a name change will occur in the 2026 model, which means that the announcement of a name change will occur in the second half of next year (2025). However, it is unclear whether bZ4X is still adopting the name Beyond Zero Toyota or not, it could get a different name.

As is known, the naming of bZ4X itself stands for Beyond Zero, the number 4 itself represents its size and X refers to the crossover model. It is said, although the name is already good, it is not necessarily well received.

In addition, citing from the Carscoops page, Ryan revealed whether the name change for the above model only occurred in the region, or it could also happen thoroughly or globally.

Currently, this model is present in Indonesia, which is equipped with a lithium ion battery with a capacity of 71.4 kWh. The electric car is capable of producing a maximum output of 150 kW and torques reaching 266.3 Nm, with an acceleration of 0-100 km/8.3 seconds.

For the Indonesian auto market, Toyota sells this car at IDR 1.2 billion. A quite fantastic figure.
