The bZ4X crossover SUV is the template for future Toyota EVs. We'll tell you if that's a good thing.
2023 Toyota bZ4X review: exceeding low expectations MSRP $52,468.00 Score Details “Toyota's first mass-market EV is nice to drive, but not nice to live with.” Pros Cons Toyota may have been a pioneer with hybrids, but Japan’s largest automaker has been slower to adopt electric vehicles. Now, with forecasts of stricter emissions standards in places like California and Europe, and many rivals launching their own EVs, Toyota is finally seeing the writing on the wall.
It may look unusual, but this Toyota EV’s bones are not unique. Other automakers have developed dedicated vehicle architectures for their electric cars, but Toyota opted to repurpose its Toyota New Global Architecture for the bZ4X, dubbing the EV version e-TNGA. Subaru also helped with development, expanding an existing partnership between the two automakers, and will sell a nearly identical version of the bZ4X as the Solterra.
Tech, infotainment, and driver assist At first glance, Toyota seems to have covered the bases when it comes to tech. A 7.0-inch digital instrument cluster is standard, along with a 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system that includes wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity, natural language voice recognition, and over-the-air update capability. A Wi-Fi hotspot and a nine-speaker JBL audio system are available as well.
EVs tend to be where automakers show off their most advanced driver assist features, or in some cases demonstrate a lack of advancement in that area. Toyota falls into the latter category. While the Ford Mustang Mach-E offers the hands-free BlueCruise system, the Nissan Ariya can execute automated lane changes with its ProPilot Assist 2.
Range, charging, and safety The bZ4X has a maximum range of 252 miles in base XLE front-wheel drive form. That drops to 242 miles for the Limited grade. All-wheel drive comes with an even bigger range penalty, with ratings of 228 miles and 222 miles for XLE and Limited trim levels, respectively.
