What is Toyota's 'beyond Zero' electric crossover called?

Toyota’s “beyond Zero” electric crossover is called the Toyota bZ4X.

The bZ4X was the first model in Toyota’s bZ series of battery-electric vehicles. Toyota introduced it as a medium-size SUV-type crossover, pairing a fully electric powertrain with the raised driving position and practical shape associated with crossover vehicles. Production versions began reaching markets in the early 2020s.

The name carries Toyota’s intended structure: “bZ” refers to “beyond Zero,” the company’s branding for battery-electric vehicles and its broader carbon-neutrality goals. The “4” identifies the vehicle’s approximate size category, while “X” signals its crossover-SUV character. Toyota developed the vehicle with Subaru, whose closely related version is called the Solterra.

The bZ4X is easy to mix up with Toyota’s other electrified models. The Mirai is a hydrogen fuel-cell vehicle, the Prius Prime is a plug-in hybrid, and the C-HR has used different powertrains depending on market and generation. Those models are electrified, but the bZ4X is the name attached to Toyota’s dedicated “beyond Zero” crossover.
