Toyota plans to draw inspiration from its extensive history of model names for future electric vehicles, moving away from the alphanumeric naming system that began with the bZ4X.
The bZ4X made its debut in 2022 as Toyota's inaugural electric vehicle. The 'bZ' signifies 'beyond zero' (in terms of emissions), the number '4' indicates the vehicle's size according to Toyota's classification, and 'X' denotes its crossover design.
Nonetheless, the Japanese company’s second electric vehicle, the Urban Cruiser, abandons that naming pattern in favor of a title drawn from its rich history of past models.
