Toyota Teases Electric FJ Cruiser Replacement

Contrary to the image shown, it is important to clarify that the car depicted is not the Compact Cruiser concept. Although the design was undeniably impressive, the original concept was considerably smaller and intended for the compact SUV market. This new SUV, however, appears to be approximately 20% to 30% larger, potentially positioning it as a rival to the upcoming Rivian R2.

On another note, there is another vehicle hidden in the shadows that bears a striking resemblance to the bZ5X, a three-row electric SUV. Toyota has previously confirmed plans to manufacture a new three-row electric SUV in the United States, and the image suggests that the teased vehicle possesses the necessary length for such a model. However, it is worth mentioning that this vehicle was teased during an international presentation rather than an American one, which raises some doubts about its intended market. Additionally, the area behind the C-pillar does not align with the original concept of the bZ5X. More information from Toyota is needed, but it is likely that we won't have to wait long for clarification.
