Toyota X Prologue Previewed Prior To Next Week’s Unveiling, Is It An Electric SUV?

Toyota has released a teaser image of the X Prologue, which is due in exactly one week from today, on March 17, at 4:00 a.m. ET (10:00 a.m. CET), with the automaker streaming the presentation online.

Believed to preview their upcoming electric vehicle family, the X Prologue might be a zero-emission SUV built on the e-TNGA platform that was co-developed in partnership with Subaru. The architecture can accommodate different battery pack sizes and motors, and can work with front-, rear- and all-wheel drive.

If we are indeed looking at an SUV, then it should have a similar footprint to the RAV4. However, Toyota is understood to make the front and rear overhangs shorter and the wheelbase longer, so interior space should be on par with the upper class.

Now, back to the teaser image that partially reveals the front end of the car. The model has what appears to be a two-layer style bonnet with the Toyota logo in the middle on a black background. To the sides of the front fascia, we can see C-shaped LED headlights that appear to be joined together by a thin light strip positioned between the hood and bumper. The grille is closed off, further suggesting that we might be indeed looking at an electric vehicle.

So, could this actually be an upcoming VW ID.4 rival from Toyota?
