Where is the Toyota bZ4X produced?
The Toyota bZ4X, Toyota's first all-electric SUV, is primarily produced at the company's Motomachi Plant in Toyota City, Aichi Prefecture, Japan. The bZ4X is a key part of Toyota's broader electrification strategy and represents the first model in the company's new "bZ" (beyond Zero) series of battery-electric vehicles.
Toyota's Motomachi Plant
The Motomachi Plant is one of Toyota's major production facilities in Japan, having been in operation since 1959. The plant is located in Toyota City, which is the headquarters of the Toyota Motor Corporation. The Motomachi Plant is responsible for producing a variety of Toyota and Lexus models, including the bZ4X, the Toyota Corolla, and the Lexus LX SUV.
Production Details
In addition to the Motomachi Plant in Japan, the Toyota bZ4X is also produced at a joint-venture facility in China, which is operated by Toyota and its Chinese partner, FAW Group. This joint-venture plant, located in Tianjin, China, began production of the bZ4X in 2022 to serve the Chinese domestic market.
Toyota has stated that the bZ4X is a global model, meaning it will be sold in markets around the world. However, the majority of bZ4X production and initial deliveries have come from the Motomachi Plant in Japan.
