The first electric car from Toyota in Australia is not due until early next year – rather than late this year – to ensure showrooms are well-stocked. Prices are still yet to be announced.
The 2024 Toyota BZ4X electric SUV has been delayed for Australia for the second time – and it is now about 18 months behind the original schedule.
The Japanese car giant says it has elected to delay the start of showroom arrivals for its first electric vehicle in Australia to February 2024, to ensure showrooms “have a reasonable level of stock,” and the latest upgrades to the car.
Prices for the Toyota BZ4X in Australia are still yet to be confirmed, however Toyota has previously warned the BZ4X “will not be a cheap car” – as with most electric vehicles in the same category.
Solely using overseas prices as a guide, the top-of-the-range version could be listed for about $80,000 plus on-road costs.
