2025 Toyota bZ4X

Price Range: $37,070 - $43,880 ^{Price range reflects Base MSRP for various trim levels, not including options or fees.}

Considering how long it took Toyota to design and engineer the electric bZ4X, it should be more competitive than it is. Mediocre range, unimpressive charging times and ho-hum performance render the 2025 Toyota bZ4X an also-ran in its segment. Odd choices regarding the styling, interior layout, and even this EV's name don't help in the overall appeal department. However, newly reduced prices make it a better value than before.Read full review

2025 Toyota bZ4X Review

by the Edmunds Experts

Pros

Smooth ride quality
Easy-to-use controls and touchscreen interface
Comfortable front seats

Cons

Disappointing maximum range
Lackluster acceleration and handling
Difficult to find a natural-feeling seating position

What's new

Toyota cuts base prices by thousands of dollars
New Nightshade trim level debuts
Limited trim level adds more driver assistance technology
Part of the first bZ4X generation introduced for 2023

Overview

Though Toyota has dabbled with electric vehicles for decades, the bZ4X was the automaker's first attempt at building an EV for the masses. As a five-passenger crossover SUV, it takes the right form. But compared to the vehicles with which it competes, the bZ4X comes up short in enough ways that Toyota had no choice but to substantially reduce prices for the 2025 model year. That move makes the 2025 bZ4X more appealing from a value perspective, and if you use this electric SUV as a daily commuter and recharge it at home each night, it could prove to be an incredible bargain.

Edmunds spotlight: Range estimates and charging times

Range estimates for the 2025 Toyota bZ4X are 222 to 252 miles, depending on the trim level and equipment. The base XLE offers the most range and is competitive with several rivals. However, because Toyota doesn't offer a long-range battery upgrade, that's as good as it gets. Battery recharging times are typical for the class. The DC fast charger pulls a maximum of 150 kilowatts and takes about 30 minutes to bring the battery to an 80% charge once the low battery light illuminates. Thoughtfully, every bZ4X includes a complimentary year of EVgo charging. Use a 240-volt, 32-amp home charging station, and it takes 9.5 hours to go from low battery light to fully charged. Toyota allows bZ4X buyers to add a home charging station to their lease or loan and partners with Qmerit to find a qualified electrician to install it.

Competitors to consider

In this EV segment, our top-rated models include the Chevrolet Equinox EV, Ford Mustang Mach-E and Hyundai Ioniq 5. However, they're all more expensive than the Toyota. Only the Subaru Solterra is available at a similar base price, and it's essentially the same vehicle as the bZ4X. If you're not ready to go fully electric, you can save even more money by choosing a Toyota Prius Plug-in Hybrid. It's not as roomy inside as the bZ4X, but it offers 44 miles of electric range and gas-powered driving thereafter until you get a chance to recharge it.

Rated for you by America's best test team.

Performance

7/10

How does the bZ4X drive? For better or worse, the bZ4X feels more like a regular SUV, such as a Toyota RAV4, than an EV. It's quicker than most small gas-powered SUVs but slower than most rival electrics such as the Ford Mustang Mach-E or Tesla Model Y. There's enough power for driving around town or getting up to highway speeds, but by the numbers, the bZ4X is objectively slower than other EVs.

The brakes provide adequate stopping power, but we found the pedal a bit soft and inconsistent, making it hard to stop smoothly every time. Another downside is the lack of full one-pedal driving. Many EVs can use their regenerative braking to slow down (rather than just coast) and come to a full stop when you lift off the accelerator. We've found this makes driving easier, but in the bZ4X you have to slow down by using the brake pedal. We can understand the rationale — make the bZ4X seem familiar — but it's a missed opportunity in our opinion.

Steering and handling are middling. The steering wheel itself is surprisingly small for a crossover SUV, though it doesn't do much to make the bZ4X itself feel small or agile. It's light and quick enough that parking is a cinch, but the lack of road feel and soft suspension fail to provide any appreciable amount of engagement.

Comfort

8/10

How comfortable is the bZ4X? The bZ4X has a smooth ride quality and is pretty comfortable over bumps. The front seats are also nice thanks to soft padding, sufficient support to keep you secure when cornering, and enough adjustments to suit most people's preferred driving position. The rear seat is comfortable as well, with a nicely padded cushion that should keep backseat passengers happy.

On the road, the bZ4X is fairly quiet, though other EVs do a better job of keeping wind and road noise out of the cabin. The bZ4X also goes overboard with all types of warning beeps. Unfortunately, you can't turn those off.

The climate control system is easy to use, and it quickly heats or cools the cabin. We also like the button on the key fob that can activate the climate control remotely, something other automakers usually leave for a smartphone app. Our test vehicle had heated and ventilated front seats, both of which worked well.

Interior

7.5/10

How’s the interior? The bZ4X's interior is conservative in terms of design and innovation, though that's not necessarily a bad thing. The touchscreen interface is a step up from what Toyota has been using for the past few years in most of its vehicles. The screen isn't as big as what some rivals offer, but it's sharp and responsive, and the menu structure is easy to navigate. Not everything is tied to the touchscreen, and we're happy that Toyota uses actual buttons for some of the controls rather than putting everything into the touchscreen.

On paper, the bZ4X's interior isn't as spacious as those of its rivals, but in reality there's plenty of space in either row for all but the tallest of passengers. The space and elevated ride height make getting in and out a breeze. The center console is high, but otherwise there's plenty of room up front to stretch out. Visibility is good thanks to tall windows and large mirrors. The lack of a rear window wiper is odd on an SUV, and some of our testers weren't enamored with high-mounted instrument display.

Build & Price

Technology

8.5/10

How’s the tech? The navigation system is responsive and easy to operate, and it uses Google-derived info for points of interest and other locations. Over-the-air updates make sure the information stays fresh too. You can input navigation directions either manually or with the built-in voice commands. Voice controls can also be used to adjust the climate control system, audio and more. Our test bZ4X had the premium JBL audio system, but we were underwhelmed with its sound quality.

There are plenty of ways to connect your phone. The bZ4X has four USB-C ports, one USB-A port and a wireless charging pad. Additionally, Toyota offers wireless connectivity for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration.

The bZ4X's advanced driver aids all work well and are easy to operate. The adaptive cruise control changes speeds smoothly and can maintain a tight gap behind the car in front. Other driver aids, such as lane keeping assistance, work well too. Our only major complaint is about the overly eager parking sensors that beep incessantly in parking lots.

Storage

7.5/10

How’s the storage? There is 27.7 cubic feet of cargo space behind the rear seat (or 25.8 cubic feet when the bZ4X is equipped with the JBL audio system). That's an average amount for the class, but the space itself is wide and usable. The load floor can be lowered, too, which is helpful given that the sleek roofline limits how tall items can be. There's also no front trunk like you get with the Ford Mustang Mach-E and Tesla Model Y.

Storage for smaller items in the cabin is so-so. The center console is smaller than those of some rivals, and the storage shelf beneath the shifter isn't deep enough to keep taller items in place. The door pockets are decently sized but, somewhat oddly, the bZ4X lacks a glovebox for closed storage. Got small kids? The spacious rear seat should make installing a child safety seat relatively easy. There's plenty of room for a rear-facing seat, and the anchors themselves are easy to access.

Range and Efficiency

7/10

How are the range and efficiency? The bZ4X has an EPA-estimated range that varies between 222 miles and 252 miles depending on the trim and the use of front- or all-wheel drive. Our front-wheel-drive bZ4X Limited test vehicle was rated at 236 miles. In the Edmunds EV Range Test, the bZ4X traveled 256 miles. That's nice, though most rival EVs can go considerably farther on a full charge.

The EPA says the bZ4X should use about 30 kWh of electricity for every 100 miles of driving. On our EV test route, we measured 25.9 kWh used. (Remember that the higher the kWh number, the less efficient the EV is.) That's similar to other electric SUVs we've tested. For public fast charging, the bZ4X charges at a maximum of 150 kW, which is also average.

Value

7/10

Is the bZ4X a good value? Due to price reductions introduced this year, the 2025 bZ4X is more affordable than all of its primary rivals. Now, it starts in the high $30,000s, and the base bZ4X comes reasonably well equipped. One like our loaded test vehicle would cost around $45,000. Still, there's a reason Toyota sells the bZ4X at such reasonable prices. For example, the interior doesn't look or feel as nice as what some EVs in the segment offer, and the bZ4X falls short regarding range.

Toyota backs every bZ4X with a three-year/36,000-mile basic warranty as well as a five-year/50,000-mile powertrain warranty and eight years of coverage for the battery. All are about average for the class. The automaker also includes two years of roadside assistance and scheduled maintenance. One nice plus is Toyota's inclusion of a year of free charging at EVgo stations.

Wildcard

7/10

The bZ4X's styling is reasonably attractive in our opinion. It's not as eye-catching as the Ioniq 5, EV6 or Mach-E, but that might be a good thing for some people. It also doesn't look all that much different than Toyota's other crossovers or the jointly developed Subaru Solterra. We just wish it had more personality elsewhere. While it's quick relative to a lot of gasoline-powered crossovers, it's slower than and not nearly as fun to drive as other EVs. If you want to have fun behind the wheel of something electric, we suggest looking elsewhere.

Which bZ4X does Edmunds recommend?

The XLE trim level is your ticket to the lowest price and the longest driving range on a full battery. It's the base version of the bZ4X, but it includes plenty of standard equipment. The only options are all-wheel drive, extra-cost paint, and a package with heated front seats and a heated steering wheel.

2024 Toyota bZ4X XLE 4dr SUV AWD (electric DD)

We love this vehicle! It’s smooth, plenty fast, spacious enough and looks better in person than in the photos. With the level 2 charger at home, charging is a breeze and range is not a concern for us. It’s so great not having to fill up at the pump every few days at $80. With the cheap electricity in the NW, our cost to home charge is only about $20 per 1,000 miles. My only complaints …
