The new Crown's styling reflects market trends heavily favoring utility vehicles over sedans.

The crossover, on sale in U.S. and globally in mid-2022, will kick off a wave of seven bZ-badged EVs planned by 2025.

Toyota's new concepts include a sleek GT3 racer, a rugged plug-in hybrid Lexus NX crossover, a hydrogen-powered Lexus recreational buggy and a sporty GRMN Yaris hot hatchback.

The Solterra, Subaru's first global EV, offers the brand's trademark all-wheel-drive setup. But on the outside, it shares a lot with Toyota.

Toyota is expected to begin selling a Crown sedan in the U.S. this year, replacing the Avalon, and will bring a hybridized SUV to the U.S. under the nameplate in 2023 to replace the Land Cruiser.

The redesigned car serves a dual purpose in the company's North American strategy: Providing an affordable sport coupe to satisfy enthusiasts of the shrinking niche, and expanding the nascent Gazoo Racing brand to new nameplates.

Toyota boss Akio Toyoda had a big hand in testing and vetting his new namesake GR Corolla hot hatch, which will be go on sale this winter in Japan and be available on U.S. dealer lots next year as a 2023 model.

The Toyota bZ4X will be superior to anything similar in Toyota's lineup in terms of torque, acceleration, rigidity, interior space, grip, safety and styling — but not sales potential.

The RZ will have an all-wheel-drive system that can switch between front, rear wheel drive or all-wheel-drive to improve cornering and road holding.

Toyota's new EV will be slightly bigger than its compact Corolla, the world's best-selling car of all time. One source told Reuters that the vehicle is like a "Corolla with bigger back-seat section."

Toyota executives say it was a slam dunk to leverage the venerable Corolla nameplate in fielding its first subcompact crossover.

Toyota says it will only sell 7,000 of the Japan-built bZ4X crossover EVs in the U.S. by the end of the 2022 calendar year, with pricing starting at $43,215 and a range of up to 252 miles, depending on configuration.

Lexus' new high-tech yoke steer-by-wire system will be optioned in the upcoming RZ all-electric crossover and offered to U.S. drivers.
