Toyota is a name that readily comes to mind when most people think of exceptional non-American off-road vehicles. The Japanese auto manufacturer has consistently delivered capable and dependable SUVs that can handle most terrain without breaking a sweat. In 2024, two Toyota models, the 4Runner and the Land Cruiser, continue to uphold this legacy of excellence, each boasting a unique set of features and capabilities to provide an unrivaled off-road experience. Here's an in-depth exploration of these Toyota heavyweights,  including all their notable specs and features. more Exterior Design, Styling, and Trims The 2024 4Runner and Land Cruiser are carryover Toyota models, so it's no surprise that they each retain the exterior styling of their previous-year counterparts. That said, their exterior designs couldn't be more different. For the 2024 edition, the 4Runner maintains its iconic boxy silhouette, which gives it a sense of ruggedness and durability. Its bold front grille and muscular wheel arches give it a commanding presence on and off the road. A 2025 model of the Toyota 4Runner is coming soon, and rumor has it that it will feature a complete redesign. If so, the 2024 model will be the last SUV in this production run to feature the current design and styling. This model has seven trim options: Limited, TRD Off-Road, TRD Off-Road Premium, SR5, TRD Sport, SR5 Premium, and TRD Pro. The entry-level SR5 trim offers an eclectic array of styling details, including 17-inch alloy wheels, roof rails, and skid plates. As you move through the trim levels, you can enjoy all the features of the SR5 in addition to exclusive touches, including a moonroof and 20-inch alloy wheels for better ground clearance. Like the 4Runner, the Land Cruiser has undergone few design changes while maintaining the traditional profile of its predecessors. Its silhouette is marked by bold horizontal lines with sculpted corners and shorter overhangs that contribute to a more refined off-road performance. Regarding trim options, the latest Land Cruiser offers enough variety to suit every need and budget. Its base 1958 model features retro styling with a bold egg-crate grille and round headlights. It also features halogen fog lights for better visibility in low light conditions and 18-inch alloy wheels with decent ground clearance for off-road adventuring. The other trims in the lineup are the mid-tier Land Cruiser and the top-of-the-line First Edition model. Depending on which trim you pick, you can access additional features, including a front skid plate, mud flaps, a roof rack, rock rails, back-door protectors, and a tailgate light. Engine and Performance The 2024 edition of the 4Runner maintains its longstanding reputation for reliability, thanks to a robust and dynamic powertrain. Under the hood of every 4Runner sits a 4.0-liter V-6 engine, delivering  270 horsepower with an output of 278 lb-ft of torque. This powertrain pairs nicely with a part-time or full-time four-wheel-drive system for peak off-road performance. The latest 4Runner also scores well in fuel economy, with the four-wheel-drive models getting a combined 17 mpg rating. The 2024 Land Cruiser doesn't disappoint when it comes to performance both on and off the road. The iconic SUV has a hybrid powertrain comprising a 2.4-liter turbocharged inline four-cylinder engine paired with an electric motor. This sophisticated propulsion system can generate 326 horsepower and an astonishing 465 lb-ft of torque, making it a force to be reckoned with on difficult terrain. Interior and Comfort The 2024 4Runner and Land Cruiser feature spacious cabins and numerous features to maximize driver and passenger comfort. The 4Runner's wood-inspired accents imbue it with a sense of luxury and sophistication that's hard to find at this price point. The base SR5 model comes with standard fabric-trimmed seats with quality padding to ensure comfort for both driver and passengers. Higher trims offer SofTex- or leather-trimmed seating. Heated and ventilated front seats are also available, adding an extra layer of comfort and convenience. The Land Cruiser delivers a comfortable and well-appointed cabin to elevate the off-road driving experience. The SUV features comfortable leather-trimmed seats, which give the interior a more luxurious feel. Its seats also have heating and cooling capabilities, making long drives more enjoyable. Other available creature comforts on the Land Cruiser include eight-way power-adjustable front seats and a heated steering wheel. Infotainment and Technology As flagbearers in Toyota's SUV production line, the 4Runner and the Land Cruiser are outfitted with modern tech to bring fun and convenience to the driving experience. The centerpiece of the 4Runner's infotainment system is a stylish 8-inch touchscreen, although higher trims get a larger 12.3-inch touchscreen. Built-in Apple CarPlay and Android Auto capabilities allow you to connect your smartphone and access all your essential apps from the touch screen. The 4Runner also provides a 15-speaker JBL premium sound system for your listening pleasure and three USB ports for charging. Similar to the 4Runner, the Land Cruiser has a standard 8-inch touchscreen for navigation and entertainment. However, you can upgrade to the 12.3-inch screen if you prefer a larger display. Both touch screens support Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, so connecting your smartphone should be a walk in the park. Also available is a JBL premium sound system, which delivers an immersive music experience. Safety Features Safety is a crucial consideration when shopping for your ideal off-road vehicle. Both the 4Runner and the Land Cruiser offer an irresistible selection of driver assistance and safety features to keep you confident on the road. Standard features on every 4Runner model include: Lane departure alert. Pre-collision system with pedestrian detection. Blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert. Other driver-assistance features in its Star Safety System include vehicle stability control, traction control, and anti-lock braking. The 2024 Land Cruiser offers an equally impressive suite of safety features as part of Toyota Safety Sense 3.0. These include a pre-collision system, lane departure alert, automatic high beams, and lane tracing assist. Take Your Off-Road Adventures to the Next Level With Longo Toyota The 2024 4Runner and Toyota Land Cruiser are both formidable contenders in the realm of off-road SUVs, each offering a unique blend of features and capabilities to suit different driving preferences.

The Toyota Highlander has been a favorite choice for active families for more than 20 years. This reliable vehicle pioneered the midsize crossover SUV field and has become one of the most popular models in its segment. Toyota has updated and innovated this popular five-door, front-wheel-drive vehicle over the years, and in 2023, the manufacturer took this SUV to the next level with the release of the Grand Highlander. If you're looking for your next family-friendly SUV, these two outstanding models are well worth considering. Our team at Longo Toyota in El Monte, California, put together this comparative guide exploring the 2024 Highlander and Grand Highlander to help you make an informed decision. more Powertrain and Performance The Grand Highlander and Highlander have plenty to offer if you're looking for a reliable eight-seater SUV. The midsize crossovers have the same base gas-powered and hybrid powertrains, but you can equip the Grand Highlander with Toyota's 362-horsepower Hybrid Max powertrain. The standard version is a 2.4-liter turbo four-cylinder engine with 265 horsepower. The optional 2.5-liter I-4 hybrid makes 243 horsepower. The basic gas powertrain pairs with an eight-speed automatic transmission and offers front- or all-wheel drive, while the Highlander Hybrid uses a continuously variable transmission. In the Grand Highlander, the Hybrid Max powertrain powers the front and rear axles via an efficient six-speed automatic transmission and a mechanical driveshaft, and it's available with front- or all-wheel drive. The smaller Highlander performs slightly better when it comes to fuel efficiency, with respectable ratings of 21-22mpg city and 28-29 mpg highway. The larger Grand Highlander rates 1 mpg lower, on average. Both vehicles have a maximum towing capacity of 5,000 pounds with the standard engine. Size and Cargo Capacity The 2024 Grand Highlander is a larger version of the already-substantial three-row Highlander. This robust SUV creates a demanding road presence. It has an exterior length of 201.4 inches and a 116.1-inch wheelbase, which is 4 inches longer than the 2024 Highlander. The Grand Highlander's larger dimensions translate into more interior space, which can make all the difference for busy, growing families. Your passengers will appreciate the generous 34 inches of legroom in the second and third rows. And if cargo capacity is a priority, you can enjoy 97.5 cubic feet of space when you fold the second- and third-row seating flat in the Grand Highlander, which exceeds the max cargo space of 84.3 cubic feet in the Highlander. Safety and Driver-Assistive Features The Highlander and Grand Highlander offer the latest Toyota Safety Sense (TSS) technology. This impressive package of advanced safety and driver-assistance features includes the following: A pre-collision system with pedestrian detection. Lane departure alert with steering assist. Automatic high beams. Lane-tracing assist. Road sign assist. Dynamic radar cruise control. While the Highlander offers the standard TSS 2.5+, the Toyota Grand Highlander features the more advanced TSS 3.0, which includes a rear cross-traffic alert system and blind-spot monitoring. If you opt for the latter, you'll also get Toyota's advanced Proactive Driving-Assist technology, which can detect objects or curves in the road and provide gentle braking and/or steering support, helping to prevent collisions. Interior Design The Toyota Highlander provides various conveniences and luxuries, such as a panoramic moonroof, QI wireless charging, and an 11-speaker JBL sound system. Driver-focused features include heated and ventilated seating, a heated steering wheel, and a 12.3-inch fully digital gauge cluster that displays turn-by-turn directions, safety information, and alerts. Passengers will appreciate the triple-zone air-conditioning. The Grand Highlander upgrades the interior with an increase in cabin space and legroom, thoughtfully located storage areas, and seven USB ports. SofTex-trimmed seats, a 12.3-inch touch screen, and an impressive multimedia system with a 1200-watt, 11-speaker JBL sound system are available across all trims. Infotainment and Connectivity The Highlander and Grand Highlander deliver well-integrated infotainment technologies to make journeys convenient, safe, and entertaining. Both models include Toyota's Audio Multimedia system with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility. Connected Services, a suite of convenience-enhancing features, is also standard. It includes Drive Connect for satellite navigation, Service Connect for vehicle data, maintenance and service alerts, and Wi-Fi Connect, which allows passengers to seamlessly connect to the internet on the go. As a new owner, you'll receive an initial free trial on these subscription-based services. Price Price is an important factor when evaluating your next vehicle purchase, and despite the considerable difference in size and specifications, there's only a few thousand dollars difference in the MSRP for these two SUVs. The 2024 Highlander has a starting MSRP of $39,270 in comparison to the Grand Highlander's starting MSRP of $43,320, making both models well worth considering. If you're thinking of upgrading to one of the upper-level Highlander trims, the Grand Highlander may be a valid option. Trim Levels The 2024 Highlander is available in five trims: the LE, XLE, XSE, Limited, and Platinum. The latter boasts features such as an upgraded suspension, 20-inch alloy wheels, a panoramic view monitor, and an advanced exterior lighting system. Toyota offers the Grand Highlander in three models: the entry-level XLE and the upgraded Limited and Platinum models. A 12.3-inch multi-information display, a power tilt/slide panoramic roof, and a panoramic view monitor are some inclusions on the higher trims. If you're looking to upgrade to the top-tier Highlander Limited or Platinum trim, you may want to consider buying a Grand Highlander, which offers outstanding features.

Compact enough to maneuver through narrow city streets and large enough to accommodate considerable cargo, sedans are the go-to option for families, commuters, travelers, and those seeking everyday versatility. The Toyota Camry and Toyota Corolla are consistently two of the best-rated and most popular models in the sedan segment, and you may find understanding the differences between them challenging. Our team at Longo Toyota put together this comparative guide to help you evaluate the distinguishing qualities of the 2024 Camry and Corolla sedans. more Trim Levels The 2024 Camry is the model to choose if you crave variety, as it's available in the following eight gas-powered and five hybrid trims: LE. SE. SE Nightshade. XLE. XSE. TRD. XLE V-6. XSE V-6 LE Hybrid. SE Hybrid. SE Hybrid Nightshade. XLE Hybrid. XSE Hybrid. The 2024 Corolla has fewer trim options. It's available in the four gas-powered and four hybrid models below: LE. SE. Nightshade. XSE. Hybrid LE. Hybrid SE. Hybrid Nightshade. Hybrid XSE. Exterior and Interior Dimensions The Camry and Corolla are five-seat sedans — apart from the Corolla hatchback version — but they belong to different subclasses. The Camry is a midsize sedan, whereas the Corolla is in the compact sedan segment, so there's a noticeable size difference to consider. Depending on your trim, the 2024 Camry measures 192 to 195 inches long, 72 to 73 inches wide, and 56 to 57 inches high. In the cabin, that translates to a passenger volume of around 98 to 100 cubic feet, with legroom amounting to 42 inches in the front and 38 inches for rear-seat passengers. As for the trunk, the 2024 Camry offers a generous volume of 15.1 cubic feet, and the rear seats fold down when you need a little more space for your belongings. In comparison, the 2024 Toyota Corolla measures consistently across all trims: 182.3 inches long, 70.1 inches wide, and 56.5 inches high. It has an interior passenger volume of 88.6 cubic feet, and while the front-row legroom equals the Camry's, the rear row maxes out at 34.8 inches. However, the cargo volume is still fairly spacious at around 13 cubic feet. The dimensional differences between these models suggest that the Camry is probably the better choice if you need to accommodate rear-seat passengers, whereas the Corolla may be ideal if your primary need is a commuter vehicle that can easily fit into tight urban spaces. Powertrain and Drivetrain Options The 2024 Camry is the model to choose if you prioritize speed. The standard 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine generates 203 to 205 horsepower, depending on your trim. That should get you from zero to 60 mph in a little over 7 seconds, which is decent for highway merging. If you opt for any of the three higher-end trims — the TRD, XLE V-6, or XSE V-6 — the standard powertrain is an upgraded 3.5-liter V-6 that puts out 301 horsepower and accelerates from zero to 60 mph in around 5.6 seconds. While the Camry comes standard in front-wheel drive, an all-wheel-drive system is available across all trim levels other than the V-6 models, which are exclusively front-wheel drive. The 2024 Corolla has a standard powertrain on every trim: a 2.0-liter four-cylinder that makes 169 horsepower and climbs from zero to 60 mph in around 9 seconds. The Corolla feels relatively smooth and capable once you reach that cruising threshold, but the hard acceleration it requires to get there may produce some gruff engine sounds. Front-wheel drive is the only option with the Corolla. The Camry and the Corolla are available as hybrid models, but the Camry also wins out in that head-to-head, producing a net 208 horsepower vs. the Corolla's 138 horsepower. Both Toyota hybrid models are available in front- or all-wheel drive. Fuel Economy Fuel economy is where the 2024 Corolla outshines the 2024 Camry. The base-level LE compact sedan gets an EPA-estimated fuel economy of 32 mpg in the city and 41 mpg on the highway, and the two higher-level trims get 31 mpg city and 40 mpg highway. If you opt for the 2024 Corolla Hybrid, the mileage jumps to 50 mpg city/43 mpg highway with front-wheel drive and 47 mpg city/41 mpg highway with all-wheel drive. The Camry's mileage ratings are comparably low, but the figures vary depending on the powertrain. These are the various estimations: Four-cylinder engine, front-wheel drive: The LE, SE, and SE Nightshade trims get an estimated 28 mpg in the city and 39 mpg on the highway, whereas the XLE and XSE get 27 mpg and 38 mpg, respectively. Four-cylinder, all-wheel drive: Choosing an all-wheel-drive system reduces the numbers to 25 mpg in the city and 34 mpg on the highway for all trim levels. V-6 engine: With the front-wheel-drive exclusive V-6 powertrain, the TRD gets ratings of 22 mpg city and 31 mpg highway, while the XLE V-6 and XSE V-6 get 22 mpg city/33 mpg highway and 22 mpg city/32 mpg highway, respectively. Hybrid powertrain: The base LE hybrid trim is slightly more fuel-efficient than its Corolla counterpart, netting an estimated 51 mpg in the city and 53 mpg on the highway. The higher-level trims are less efficient at 44 mpg and 47 mpg, respectively. Pricing Given its larger size and generally higher capability, the Camry is the more expensive model. Its broader price range reflects the wider variety of trims available. For front-wheel-drive models, the starting MSRPs for the 2024 Camry are as follows: LE: $26,420. SE: $27,960. SE Nightshade: $28,960. XLE: $31,170. XSE: $31,720. TRD: $33,485. XLE V-6: $36,295. XSE V-6: $36,845. LE Hybrid: $28,855. SE Hybrid: $30,390. SE Hybrid Nightshade: $31,390. XLE Hybrid: $33,745. XSE Hybrid: $34,295. The 2024 Corolla, on the other hand, starts and ends at much lower price points. These are the MSRPs: LE: $22,050. SE: $24,490. Nightshade: $25,490. XSE: $27,150. Hybrid LE: $23,500. Hybrid SE: $25,940. Hybrid Nightshade: $26,940. Hybrid XSE: $27,250.

Aside from producing some of the best SUVs and passenger cars on the road, Toyota is also the automaker behind two of the world's finest pickup trucks: the Tacoma and the Tundra. Both are highly capable and widely loved workhorses, but they offer different performance levels and largely appeal to separate audiences. If you're in the market for a new Toyota pickup and are wondering about the distinctive qualities of the 2024 Toyota Tacoma versus the Tundra, let our team at Longo Toyota in El Monte, California, guide you through the differences so you can make a well-informed decision between them. more Exterior Design You may be happy to know the 2024 model year represents a transition into a new, fourth generation for the Toyota Tacoma if exterior design is a selling point for you. It's now built on a version of the same body-on-frame platform that the Tundra had boasted for years. The chassis is lighter and stronger than ever, while the exterior styling features sharper lines and crisper edges than the outgoing model. The front end is bolder in an understated way, lending a more muscular and modern appearance. The Tundra, however, had already undergone a redesign in 2022, so the 2024 model year is a carryover in terms of styling. It maintains the bulky and edgy look that is now common among vehicles of its class. Class and Dimensions When we talk about a vehicle's class, we're referring broadly to its size. The Tacoma and the Tundra are both Toyota pickup trucks but belong to different classes. The Tacoma is a midsize pickup, a class that generally measures at least 210 inches long and 73 inches wide. The 2024 Tacoma slightly exceeds those minimum measurements, coming in at an overall length of 213 inches and a width that ranges from 77 to 78 inches, depending on the trim. Also, it's worth noting that the Tacoma is the leader in its class, outselling others by a huge margin. The Tundra is a full-size truck, so it's noticeably larger. Some full-size pickups measure more than 22 feet long, but the Tundra is more reasonably sized than that. Short-bed models have a length of around 233 inches, while long-bed versions range from approximately 245 to 252 inches. The Tundra also measures 80.2 inches in width, except for the TRD Pro trim, which is 81.6 inches wide. Being the larger vehicle, the Tundra can better handle large hauls and perform those archetypal work site activities for which full-size pickups are renowned. That being the case, it's likely your better option if such activities are part of your day-to-day use. Otherwise, you might consider the Tacoma instead as a versatile daily driver. Powertrains and Performance Power is another distinguishing category between the classes, with full-size pickup engines tending to be more powerful and robust than their midsize counterparts. That's certainly the case with the 2024 Toyota pickups, so keep the following in mind if you need a brawnier vehicle. With the Tundra, the standard powertrain option is a 3.5-liter twin-turbocharged V-6 that pairs with a 10-speed automatic transmission, generating 389 hp and 479 lb-ft of torque — good enough to get you from zero to 60 mph in a hair over 6 seconds. There's also a hybrid version of the Tundra that's even more powerfu, with 437 hp, 583 lb-ft of torque, and a zero-to-60 speed in around 5.7 seconds. The 2024 Tacoma features a 2.4-liter turbocharged four-cylinder across all trims, but the output varies depending on your transmission choice and, to some extent, your trim. The SR trim, which is strictly automatic, makes 228 hp and 243 lb-ft of torque; other automatics put out 278 hp and 317 lb-ft of torque. The manual transmissions generate 270 hp and 310 lb-ft of torque. There is also a hybrid version of the Tacoma, which gets you 326 hp and 465 lb-ft of torque. Those numbers can't match the Tundra but are still good for zero-to-60-mph times of around 7 seconds. Towing Capacity According to Toyota's official spec sheet, when appropriately equipped, the 2024 Tacoma can pull 6,400 and 6,500 pounds with the double cab and XtraCab configurations, respectively. That's quite good for recreational hauling, and you should have no trouble pulling items such as car trailers, boat trailers, motorboats, and campers. Unsurprisingly, the heavier-duty Tundra can tow significantly more. Even on the low end, you're looking at a towing capacity of 8,300 pounds for the base SR trim. From there, the pulling power ranges up to 12,000 pounds — nearly double that of the Tacoma. If you need the kind of ruggedness that can hold up on a work site, the Tundra is the better bet. The Tacoma, however, would be ideal for just about any other everyday activity. Price Their differences in size and performance amount to a pretty large difference in price points. The 2024 Tacoma is the more affordable model, with the following starting MSRPs: SR: $35,000. SR5: $36,200. TRD PreRunner: $38,100. TRD Sport: $39,400. TRD Off-Road: $41,800. Limited: $52,100. Toyota has announced there will be Trailhunter and TRD Pro trims as well, but price points for those have yet to be released. In contrast, pricing for the 2024 Toyota Tundra looks like this: SR: $39,965. SR5: $45,500. Limited: $51,855. Platinum: $61,775. 1794 Edition: $62,460. TRD Pro: $72,130. Capstone: $78,845. The pricing accords with the overall character of each vehicle. The more egalitarian Tacoma is accessible to a broader audience, while the utilitarian Tundra is more of an investment for those who need the added power and rugged force to tackle heavy-duty work.

When you're shopping for a new Toyota vehicle, you may come across the name Toyota Racing Development or, more commonly, TRD. A Toyota TRD is a special type of Toyota model that might be a perfect fit if you like to go off-road. Below, we'll explain everything you need to know about Toyota TRD, including the benefits of choosing one of these models, which current models come with a TRD version, and how to get yours. more What Is Toyota TRD? TRD is a section of the Toyota company that's known for its off-road and on-track motorsports excellence. Established in 1974 when it was first called the Toyota Sports Center, TRD uses its advanced knowledge of performance and off-roading capabilities to improve everyday Toyota vehicles. If you see the name TRD attached to a model while browsing available Toyotas, you'll know it's one of the vehicles taking advantage of that knowledge. What Are the Benefits of a Toyota TRD? There are a few significant benefits when you opt for a Toyota TRD vehicle. Off-Roading Capabilities One of the biggest benefits of TRD models is their off-roading capabilities. When you take your vehicle off-road, you want something capable of handling the tough terrain and conditions. TRD models go through rigorous testing to ensure they're capable of handling practically anything you put in front of them. These models feature improved suspension systems, shock absorbers, and tires to make it easier for your vehicle to navigate tough terrain and provide a more comfortable driving experience. Some TRD models even come with advanced off-roading technologies. For example, on some TRD models, you'll find technologies such as Crawl Control or Multi-Terrain Select. These technologies give the TRD even more control over tough terrain and allow you to adjust vehicle settings based on where you're driving. If you're looking for a vehicle that you can take on your next off-road adventure, you'll want to consider one with the TRD name. Reliability In addition to off-roading, TRD models are also built to last. Thanks to their improved performance and materials, you can count on a TRD model to last for years to come, even if you regularly take it off-road. TRD models also feature the newest safety innovations to protect you on your daily commute and weekend adventures. Whether it's the automated emergency braking, lane departure warning, or one of the many other safety features, you can count on a TRD model to get you where you're going. Value TRD models retain their value better than some other models, as they typically feature some of the best performance specs available in their model year. This means that after a few years, the average vehicle is just catching up to what a TRD model can do. By competing well with newer models, used TRD vehicles can command a higher resale value. In addition, with proper care, TRD models will last a long time. This makes them an attractive used model, as buyers will know that they can still get plenty of life out of their purchase.

The 2024 Toyota bZ3X represents the latest in Toyota's foray into the electric crossover SUV market. This model builds on the successful foundation set by its sibling, the bZ4X, which debuted in April 2021. As an updated model, the bZ3X introduces a host of advancements and improvements, signifying a new era in Toyota's electric vehicle (EV) lineup. This newer model promises to enhance the driving experience with cutting-edge features while maintaining Toyota's commitment to sustainable mobility. At Longo Toyota in El Monte, California, we invite you to join us as we explore the distinct features, innovative advancements, and unique characteristics of the 2024 bZ3X compared to the bZ4X. Our intention isn't just to differentiate but also to highlight how the enhanced features of the bZ3X revolutionize and elevate the EV driving experience to new heights. Stay tuned as we take you on this electrifying journey. more Design The 2024 Toyota bZ3X modernizes the EV market with its bold, futuristic design. Unlike the boxier bZ4X, the bZ3X's silhouette embodies modernity with its curved body and sleek rear slope. Its distinct features include angular headlights seamlessly flowing into the hood, wheels pushed to the corners for an aggressive stance, and flush door handles for improved aerodynamics. The absence of black wheel arches, a dominant feature in the bZ4X, adds to its streamlined look and highlights its refined design. Other unique elements include pronounced body creases, a full-width taillight that extends deep into the fenders, and contrasting black detailing on the pillars and roof. Though the color range for the bZ3X is yet to be revealed, it could follow in the footsteps of the bZ4X, offering colors such as Elemental Silver Metallic, Wind Chill Pearl, and Supersonic Red. This bold design approach reinforces the 2024 Toyota bZ3X as a standout within the electric SUV market, setting new standards for a modern and striking design. Dimensions The dimensions of the 2024 Toyota bZ3X project a compact and efficient design. As per the concept model, the bZ3X measures 178.7 inches in length, 61.4 inches in height, and 74.3 inches in width (excluding mirrors). In comparison, the bZ4X is slightly longer by about 6 inches and taller by over 3.5 inches, emphasizing the smaller and more compact design of the bZ3X. The starting curb weight of the bZ3X is anticipated to be around 4,000 pounds for the front-wheel-drive (FWD) model, lighter than the bZ4X, which starts at 4,266 pounds. The bZ3X's smaller size and lighter weight contribute to its efficiency and maneuverability, making it an appealing choice in the compact electric SUV market. Performance It's unlikely that the 2024 Toyota bZ3X will beat the bZ4X in terms of performance. The bZ4X sets the bar high with its FWD single-motor variant, capable of generating 201 horsepower and 196 lb-ft of torque. Given its presumably lighter weight, we anticipate the bZ3X will achieve a zero-to-60 mph sprint in just under 7 seconds. With dual motors and all-wheel drive (AWD), the bZ4X offers a slightly better power output of 214 horsepower and 124 lb-ft of torque from each motor. If equipped with this higher-output powertrain, the Toyota bZ3X could cut the zero-to-60 mph sprint closer to 6 seconds. Like the bZ4X, the bZ3X is expected to ride on the e-TNGA platform, blending sharp, responsive handling with a refined, smooth ride. Battery, Range, and Charging The Toyota bZ4X offers a variable range between 222 and 252 miles, depending on the trim level. Should the bZ3X model pack the same 71.4 kWh battery, there's the potential for improved range. However, the exact battery specifications for the bZ3X are yet to be released. Regarding charging speed, the bZ4X's FWD model attains charging speeds of up to 150 kW, while the AWD version attains a peak charging speed of 100 kW. Though the bZ3X's charging speed hasn't been revealed, it's likely to be in a similar range, given its shared platform. With DC fast charging, you can expect the bZ3X's battery pack to recharge from a low level to 80% in approximately 30 minutes, making quick top-ups a breeze. Interior, Tech, and Cargo The interior of the 2024 Toyota bZ3X pushes the boundaries of traditional design with features derived from its concept model. The steering wheel adopts a broad, rectangular yoke-like design, while the digital driver's and center displays are uniquely curved at the bottom. The conventional door and window controls have been replaced, leading to a nearly button-free layout and enhancing the futuristic feel of the cabin. The bZ3X might feature the plant-based upholstery from the concept car or, more likely, a mix of fabric and SofTex (Toyota's faux leather) as found in the bZ4X. The cabin should comfortably accommodate up to four passengers, five in a pinch, and come equipped with the latest connectivity features. A state-of-the-art in-car personal assistant is also mentioned in the concept and could feature in the bZ3X. Given its compact size, the bZ3X's cargo space is expected to be around 19.1 cubic feet, less than its bZ4X sibling. Safety The 2024 Toyota bZ3X is expected to inherit a suite of advanced safety features, much like the bZ4X. This would mean standard features such as pedestrian and cyclist detection, lane-keeping assist, and automated emergency braking will likely be integrated to ensure maximum safety for the driver and passengers. It'll be interesting to see if any additional safety enhancements are unveiled in the bZ3X model, further bolstering Toyota's reputation for prioritizing safety in its vehicle designs. Test-Drive the Future at Longo Toyota The 2024 Toyota bZ3X is set to revolutionize the EV market with its bold design, efficient dimensions, and impressive performance. We can't wait for this model to hit dealer lots and offer you the chance to experience its cutting-edge features. In the meantime, we invite you to come test-drive the bZ4X and explore our range of electrified Toyota models. Our used car inventory is also impressive, and we offer top-quality service to ensure your new ride stays in top condition. Contact us In El Monte, California, to schedule a test drive or learn more about the bZ3X.
