Toyota has dropped a mysterious teaser, with multiple reports suggesting a large, three-row electric SUV could be on the horizon.
Toyota USA released the single, dimly lit rear-view image under the tagline: “Something New is On the Horizon”. From the silhouette, it looks like a full-size SUV with a boxy, rugged stance that hints at LandCruiser vibes. Wide fenders, roof rails, a shark-fin antenna, and a wraparound LED tail-light bar give it a commanding presence, while a brief animation shows oversized head restraints and a blue-lit infotainment display inside.
Toyota has confirmed plans to build two three-row electric SUVs at its Georgetown, Kentucky plant. While the name isn’t official, speculation points to bZ5X, a potential six- to eight-seater roughly the size of a Kluger.
If this turns out to be one of those models, it could mark Toyota’s first full-size, high-riding EV with three rows, appealing to families and off-road enthusiasts alike. For now, all we have is a hint of what’s coming – but for those watching the EV 4×4 space, this could be a model worth keeping an eye on.
Late last year, Toyota appeared to signal an electric HiLux was in the works, after a leaked slide from the 2025 Japan Mobility Show revealed two new pickup silhouettes alongside the bZ4X EV, one labelled as a BEV.
For now, the electric HiLux for general sale remains unverified, though a mining-only electric prototype is currently being trialled.
