Driven: The 2023 Toyota bZ4X Is A Quirky, But Comfortable EV With Up To 252 Miles Of Range | Carscoops carscoops
Love it or hate it, the bZ4X stands out thanks to its angular design and controversial black accents. We’re not particularly fond of the black fenders, but there’s no avoiding them as they come standard on all trims.
Speaking of the latter, the cluster is mounted far forward and resides at the end of a plastic structure that resembles a half-pipe. It’s supposed to help you focus and keep your eyes on the road, but we got sidetracked asking ourselves who thought the plastic surround was a good idea. On the bright side, the display is clean, crisp, and informative., which is fast, intuitive, and highly connected.
, but significantly less than the RAV4 which can swallow up to 37.5 cubic feet of luggage without folding the rear seats down.The bZ4X rides on the e-TNGA platform and features two different battery packs sourced from two different suppliers. Front-wheel drive variants have a capacity of 71.4 kWh, which allows for an EPA-estimated range of 252 miles in the XLE and 242 miles in the Limited. All-wheel drive variants have a slightly larger capacity of 72.
If you’re looking for speed, you’ll want to opt for the all-wheel drive variant. Thanks to the extra motor and added traction, the dash to 60 mph takes 6.5 seconds. Torque steer should also hopefully be eliminated, while buyers will also find a Subaru-sourced X-Mode with settings for Snow/Dirt and Snow/Mud. While the names are similar, the Snow/Mud setting “applies the brakes on spinning wheels to produce a limited-slip differential effect for additional traction.
Of course, the average American travels less than 40 miles per day so charging isn’t much of an issue unless you’re going on a long road trip. It’s also worth mentioning the bZ4X’s Remote Connect technology enables owners to use the Toyota app to check charging status, start/stop charging, edit charging schedules, and find charging stations on their smartphone.
