Toyota Unveils Sport Crossover Concept, Previewing New Battery Electric Model

Toyota has presented its Sport Crossover Concept in Europe, offering a preview of a new battery-electric model set to join its electrified range by 2025. The concept revealed at Toyota’s Kenshiki forum in Brussels, features a sleek aero silhouette and distinctive fastback lines, positioning it as a design icon for the company’s dedicated battery electric vehicle (BEV) lineup.

The Sport Crossover Concept, initially showcased at Auto Shanghai in April, has been developed for both the Chinese and European markets by BYD Toyota EV Technology Co. Ltd. (BTET), a joint venture established in China by Toyota and BYD.

The concept aims to attract first-time electric car customers and serve as a stylish alternative to SUVs, providing maximum comfort, five doors, a large boot, and generous rear legroom.

Toyota’s multipath strategy focuses on achieving carbon neutrality through the introduction of a portfolio featuring advanced, alternative fuel, and zero-emissions powertrain technologies.

In Europe, Toyota plans to introduce six dedicated BEV models by 2026, contributing to its goal of exclusively offering Zero Emission Vehicles (ZEVs) by 2035 and achieving complete carbon neutrality by 2040.
