Details about the Toyota bZ5x crossover, which will be produced at the same plant as Camry and RAV4 The length of the 7-seater bZ5x will be approximately 5 meters, that is, the new product will become the electric equivalent of the Toyota Highlander and will directly compete with the larger Kia EV9. However, compared to the Highlander, the move to smaller electric motors will make the bZ5x more spacious inside. Space and practicality will be among the key advantages of the crossover. Toyota hasn't shown off the car's interior yet, but it will likely be styled like the bZ4x, possibly with elements of the new Prius. Naturally, there will be a proprietary set of Toyota Safety Sense safety systems, complemented by various driver assistance systems. Being a larger crossover than the bZ4x, the bZ5x will receive a larger capacity traction battery and two electric motors, due to which all-wheel drive will be implemented. It has already been officially confirmed that the bZ5x will be produced in the USA at a plant in Kentucky, where the Camry and RAV4 are currently produced. And traction batteries will be produced at Toyota's plant in North Carolina.
