TOYOTA plans to introduce 15 electric vehicles globally by 2025, and the new BZ4X concept shows the way forward. Toyota says there will be a production version of this car, developed in conjunctio­n with Subaru and ‘drawing on the specific skills and experience of each company’. The vehicle is built around a new TNGA modular platform that was developed specifical­ly for battery vehicles. Thanks to its long wheelbase, cabin space is said to be on par with a D-segment sedan, in spite of its compact dimensions. | Motoring staff

AUDI is pushing ahead with its ‘e-volution’ towards electric mobility and has unveiled its A6 e-tron concept. Unlike the e-tron GT sports car that shares its gizzards with the Porsche Taycan, the new A6 and luxury EVS from Audi will be built on the company’s new ‘premium platform electric’, or PPE for short. Depending on the selected model, an Audi A6 e-tron is expected to have a range of more than 700km (based on the WLTP standard) – and the most powerful members of the family will sprint from 0 to 100km/h in less than four seconds. | Motoring staff
