The all-new Toyota bZ Compact SUV Concept is making its world debut at the 2022 Los Angeles Auto Show. This battery-electric concept represents a vehicle with zero emissions, utilising low-impact, sustainable materials and dynamic performance.

The aerodynamic form of the Toyota bZ Compact SUV Concept enhances its futuristic look which includes the wheels pushed to the corners for an aggressive stance - making it appear as if it's moving even when standing still. The short overhangs and sweepback angles make it stand out as an advanced technology vehicle, while a narrowed-down cabin design gives it an agile appearance for low drag.

The edgy styling extends to the interior with a distinctive look. Notably, the design team included several eco-friendly touches, like seating made from plant-based and recycled materials. An in-car personal assistant connects the driver and passengers with the vehicle through audio and visual lighting cues that move around the cabin, responding to requests or commands from front or rear passengers.

The bZ Compact SUV concept is almost exactly like the already existing bZ4X SUV and only available in China bZ3 sedan, so it's probable that a production model will emerge eventually. It would most likely be placed beneath the bZ4X in the automaker's lineup.

More information on this concept will be revealed in December, 2022.
