Toyota has already announced plans to introduce six electric models built on a dedicated EV platform it\u2019s working on with Subaru. The first of the bunch will be a midsize SUV<\/a> with just about the same footprint as the RAV4. Details are scarce for the time being, but the wait is nearly over as the wraps are going to come off in a week from today.<\/p>\n

Debuting April 19 at the Shanghai Auto Show, the purely electric SUV will ride on the e-TNGA architecture and will be shown initially as a concept. The production model is coming in a couple of years and chances are the equivalent Subaru model, believed to go by the name Evoltis, will also arrive in the same timeframe. Until next Monday\u2019s premiere, Toyota has released a teaser image along with the video to provide a closer look at the all-new EV.<\/p>\n

Likely to be part of the \u201cBeyond Zero\u201d sub-brand created specifically for EVs, the new SUV has slim LED headlights flanking the blue Toyota logo reserved for plug-in hybrids and pure electric cars. With no combustion engine under the hood that would require cooling, it doesn\u2019t come as a surprise the yet-unnamed model doesn\u2019t have a conventional front grille. Instead, it appears to have a glossy black panel between the two headlight clusters.<\/p>\n
