The new Toyota electric SUV will be launched on March 12

Toyota will launch its new electric car on March 12. Although the name is not yet known, a teaser suggests that it could be the production version of the bZ Compact SUV.

Toyota has not released any details about this car, but some information suggests that the electric crossover will be 4.54 meters long and 1.56 meters high, which means that it will be smaller than the Toyota bZ4X. Toyota has promised that the new car will be spacious, comfortable and emotionally appealing.

When it comes to the powertrain, it is speculated that it will have similar specifications to the recently introduced Urban Cruiser EV. This means a front-wheel drive version with 144 or 174 hp (depending on the battery), and an all-wheel drive version with 184 hp. Speaking of batteries, there are two battery packs, 49 and 61 kWh.

Toyota Land Cruiser Desert Series Black Bison Edition

Desert Series Black Bison Edition is a project of the Japanese company Wald International, based on the Toyota Land Cruiser. It is an equipment kit that gives the car a more aggressive look.

The project was announced in 2024 and has now been officially presented and brings new bumpers with air intakes, additional daytime running lights, aluminum underbody protection, a large opening on the hood, an aerodynamic addition on the roof, integrated fins, LED lights, a sports bumper with a diffuser, decorative ventilation slots, as well as a wing mounted on the rear spoiler. The aggressive look is also contributed by fender flares, a lifting system, a wider track and new rims wrapped in mud tires, so that the car has better off-road capabilities.

The tuner is also preparing an equipment kit for the road version with larger rims wrapped in high-performance tires, as well as components that further lower the vehicle closer to the ground. This equipment kit will appeal to those who want a Land Cruiser without off-road capabilities.

The tuner has not announced whether the Desert Series Black Bison Edition will be available outside of Japan, or how much it will cost.

Toyota Land Cruiser 250 upgraded by Arctic Trucks

Icelandic automotive company Arctic Trucks has unveiled a project called the AT37 based on the Toyota Land Cruiser 250. It is a 10-piece wide body kit that combines inspiring on-road handling with superior ground clearance, comfort, control and agility on all terrains.

The car looks more muscular thanks to new bumpers and widened wheel arches, while the raised suspension and massive tires, aluminum side steps, mudguards, rear tow hook, show that it is ready for all situations and terrains. The Land Cruiser has 40 millimeters more ground clearance thanks to an adjustable suspension with new springs and shock absorbers.

The Land Cruiser 250 has a wider track as well as a longer wheelbase thanks to the relocation of the rear axle. It is mounted on 17-inch rims in satin black with two valves, which allows owners to easily monitor and modulate the tire pressure, wrapped in 37-inch BFGoodrich tires.

When it comes to the powertrain, Arctic Trucks has made some changes under the hood as well. However, there is no information from the company on whether the existing engine was modified or a new one was installed.

Arctic Trucks is offering customers the choice of purchasing a complete car or upgrading a donated one. The price is not known.
