Toyota revealed an updated bZ Compact SUV concept at the 2022 La Auto Show. The bZ Compact SUV previews a future all-electric SUV that could replace the current-gen C-HR SUV sold in global markets. Compared to the concept showcased in late 2021, the updated concept gets some design tweaks with Toyota also providing a clear look at the interior.

While the basic design has stayed unchanged, Toyota has made tweaks to smaller details. The C-shaped headlamps get revised detailing more in line with a production model while a light bar now runs the width of the fascia. Slim stacked LEDs now sit lower down on the bumper while the wheel design too has been toned down.

A charging port is now visible on the front fender while a shark fin antenna and an integrated roof spoiler too have been added to the concept. The rear meanwhile is characterised by a sharply raked rear windscreen and a lightbar.

The interior carries a minimalist design with a yoke-style steering and two curved displays mounted atop the dashboard. The gear selection is via a toggle switch on the centre console flanked by charging pads on either side. Toyota says that the concept also has an in-car assistant named “Yui” that ‘connects the driver and passengers with the vehicle.’

Toyota has confirmed that the concept is all-electric and uses sustainable materials though has not revealed any further details.
