The Toyota bZ4X is ready for pavement in Indonesia next week. In an official invitation received from the detikcom team, the plan is for Toyota’s electric car to be launched on November 10, 2022. Meanwhile, the presence of the Toyota bZ4X will directly challenge its Ginseng rival, the Hyundai Ioniq 5.
As for the price of the Toyota bZ4X, it will obviously only be revealed at launch at a later date. As the potential main rival of the Hyundai Ioniq 5, the price of the bZ4X is likely not to be far off the South Korean electric car. As an illustration, the Toyota bZ4X price in Japan is sold at 6,000,000 yen (FWD version) and 6,500,000 yen (4WD version). For information, there are only two types of bZ4X sold in Japan.
When converted at the current exchange rate (1 yen = Rp. 106.51), the price of the Toyota bZ4X in Japan starts at Rp. 639 million to Rp. 692 million. But this is in Japan, when you enter Indonesia, of course there will be a price adjustment. It may be more expensive than in Japan.
While the Hyundai Ioniq 5 in Indonesia is offered in four types and the price adjusts. Ioniq 5 is currently marketed in different types and prices. The Prime-Standard Range type is IDR 748 million, Prime-Long Range IDR 789 million, Signature-Standard Range IDR 809 million and Signature-Long Range IDR 859 million.
Not long ago, the Marketing Director of PT Toyota Astra Motor, Anton Jimmi Suwandy, admitted that he has not yet decided on the price of the bZ4X. However, it appears that the bZ4X will be positioned below the Lexus UX300e which is being sold for Rp. 1 billion. Therefore, it is very likely that the price of the bZ4X is still lower than Rp. 1 billion.
“We haven’t decided (Toyota bZ4X) how much it will cost. It’s still up for debate. (For sure) the segment is different because Lexus has its own segment, it’s more premium,” Anton said recently.
The Toyota bZ4X is the first electric car of the Toyota brand. In appearance, the Toyota bZ4X is very futuristic. This car has a small hexagonal grille at the bottom and there are some kind of vertical gills at the right and left ends.
Toyota bZ4X is the result of Toyota’s collaboration with Subaru. This car uses the e-TNGA platform specially designed for Toyota electric vehicles.
Speaking of size, this car is quite large, even bigger than the Lexus UX 300e electric car. On paper, the Toyota bZ4X has dimensions of 4,690 mm in length, 1,860 mm in width and 1,650 mm in height.
