Electric FJ Cruiser Successor Teased by Toyota

The car shown in the image is not the Compact Cruiser concept, although it had an impressive design. The original concept was smaller and intended for the compact SUV market. However, this new SUV appears to be 20% to 30% larger, making it a potential rival for the upcoming Rivian R2.

There is another vehicle hidden in the shadows, resembling the bZ5X, a three-row electric SUV. Toyota has previously confirmed plans to build a new three-row electric SUV in the USA, and the image suggests that the teased vehicle has the necessary length for it. However, the fact that this vehicle was teased in an international presentation rather than an American one contradicts the theory that it is the US-bound bZ5X. Additionally, the area behind the C-pillar does not match the original concept. We will have to wait for more information from Toyota, but it seems that we won't have to wait for long.
