The Toyota bZ4X, also marketed in Japan, Australia, US, Canada, Europe, and China as the Subaru Solterra, is a battery electric compact crossover SUV manufactured by Toyota. The vehicle debuted in April 2021 as the "bZ4X Concept". It is the first vehicle to be based on the e-TNGA platform co-developed by Toyota and Subaru,[12] and the brand's first model to be part of their Toyota bZ ("beyond Zero") series of zero-emissions vehicles.[13][14]

Worldwide sales of the bZ4X commenced in mid-2022, with production planned in Japan and China.[15][16] Sales in the United States also started in 2022.[17] Toyota has also stated that there will be seven "bZ" models to be launched globally by 2025.[18]
