Pros
- Smooth ride quality
- Easy-to-use controls and touchscreen interface
- Comfortable front seats
Cons
- Disappointing real-world range
- Lackluster acceleration and handling
- Difficult to find a natural-feeling seating position
What's new
- Dual-voltage (Level 1 and Level 2) charging cable is now standard
- All-wheel-drive models can now fast charge at speeds up to 150 kW
- Other minor updates to standard features
- Part of the first bZ4X generation introduced for 2023
Overview
The bZ4X is the only electric vehicle that Toyota currently offers. It's a two-row SUV that's about the size of the RAV4, although it starts at a notably higher price that's closer to the Grand Highlander. The bZ4X is almost identical to the Subaru Solterra because both electric SUVs were jointly developed by both companies. For 2024, Toyota added more standard features to the bZ4X, including a power liftgate and a power-adjustable driver's seat on the XLE trim and an automated parking system on the Limited trim. A dual-voltage charging cable that can be used for Level 1 or Level 2 charging is now included on both trims.

Edmunds spotlight: A good first electric vehicle … for local driving
The bZ4X is a good choice if you're new to EVs because it drives much like a regular gas-powered SUV. But if you've driven an EV before and enjoy the ease of one-pedal driving, you might be disappointed that the bZ4X doesn't have it. As with most Toyotas, the bZ4X is comfortable and comes standard with lots of tech, including wireless smartphone connectivity and a suite of advanced driver aids such as adaptive cruise control. It's quicker than most comparable gas-powered SUVs but slower than many of its electric SUV rivals. The bZ4X's driving range of 222-252 miles is sufficient for local commuting, but it's among the lowest in its class and not ideal for long trips.
Competitors to consider
If you stick to short commutes and don't mind the bZ4X's modest power and lack of one-pedal driving, then you'll likely be happy with the electric Toyota. But if those drawbacks are making you hesitate, then check out its rivals. The Hyundai Ioniq 5, Kia EV6 and Ford Mustang Mach-E are three of our top electric SUVs. The Volkswagen ID.4 and Tesla Model Y are other solid alternatives. And if you're unsure about going all-electric, consider the RAV4 Prime. It's a plug-in hybrid that provides an electric driving range and has a similar starting price as the bZ4X.

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 it does an actual EV. It's quicker than most small gas-powered SUVs but slower than most rival EVs such as the Tesla Model Y or Ford Mustang Mach-E. 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. The bZ4X does have a mode for regenerative braking when you lift off the accelerator, but it won't come to a complete stop unless you press on the brakes.
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 bench 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. And 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 get the climate control going 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 itself 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 doesn't have as spacious an interior as its rivals, but in reality there's plenty of space in either row for all but the tallest of passengers. The space and tallish ride height make getting in and out a breeze. The center console is tall, 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 staff testers aren't enamored with high-mounted instrument display.

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 Tesla Model Y or Ford Mustang Mach-E.
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 still 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.

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? The bZ4X starts in the mid-$40,000s which is on par for EVs in this class. The base bZ4X comes reasonably well equipped, and our near-$50K test vehicle was loaded with just about every available option. But we don't think you're really getting your money's worth here. The interior doesn't feel as premium as the cabins of the Ford Mustang Mach-E, Hyundai Ioniq 5 and Kia EV6. Those vehicles all cost about the same as the Toyota and offer similar features and much more 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/50,000 miles of roadside assistance and scheduled maintenance. One nice plus is Toyota's inclusion of a year of free charging at EVgo stations.

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?
Of the two trim levels the bZ4X offers, we recommend the XLE trim. Even though it's the base trim, it comes equipped with a long list of features including a large 12.3-inch touchscreen, a wireless charging pad, a package of advanced driver aids, and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The XLE also provides a longer driving range than the top Limited trim. You can opt for all-wheel drive, but we recommend only getting it if it's needed because it reduces the driving range.

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 … are the door lock control is not backlit and the road noise is a bit loud on the rough concrete highways. Other road surfaces are fine.
That being said, this car may not be the best if it’s your only vehicle and you frequently travel based on other reviews. My trip home from the dealer was about 300 miles across a pretty remote area and it was actually easier than I thought it would be. It was easy to find chargers and my charge times were about 24 minutes from about 45% to 80%.
For comparison, I rented a Tesla Model Y and found the ride to be a bit rough and didn’t care for the screen controls. I would say the software and tech is better in the Tesla, but the Bz4X build quality is better. If comparing the MSRP, the Tesla is a better value but with the lease incentives ($16,250 down payment assistance) and a purchase price below msrp, the net cost of the BZ4X was around $29,000 which is a great value in my opinion.
If you’re looking for a comfortable and fun daily commuter, have home charging options, and take advantage of the incentives, the BZ4X is worth a look. If you want the latest tech, longest range, or quickest charging check your other options.
Smooth and Quiet, Toyota Familiarity, Poor Value

2023 Toyota bZ4X Limited 4dr SUV (electric DD)
I owned the 2023 Toyota BZ4X Limited FWD for almost two years now. I still have mixed feelings about the BZ4X. It's my first and only EV I have ever owned.
I'll start with the positives. I still like how smooth and effortless power delivery is. It's easy to merge into traffic. I also like how the controls are very familiar for anyone who's owned Toyotas for a long time. I am also glad … that I haven't had any issues with the BZ4X. Lately, I've been getting at least 4.0 miles per KWh which is really good. Sometimes, I even get above 5.0 miles per KWh.
There are negatives that I've noticed too. The biggest problem in general is lack of value for money. I'm noticing too many cases of cost cutting. There's too much hard plastics and overuse of piano black. Even the horn sounds like that of the Corolla's. Features like power folding mirrors, front passenger power seat, and memory seats were also missing despite getting the highest trim with additional option packages. Another big issue is the cost to register and insure the BZ4X. It's just way too expensive. The combined costs of my other vehicles for registration and insurance is still less than that for the BZ4X.
I don't really have any first hand experience with slow charging issues reported by other reviewers. I only charge at home or at work with level 2 chargers. I did try DC charging with the EVgo card that I got with the BZ4X and did see that I took almost an hour from 20% to 80%. But again, it doesn't matter to me since I would never road trip with the BZ4X. I'd take my minivan instead.
I will say that I've overlooked all these issues when I bought this vehicle during the COVID vehicle shortages and widespread dealership markups that affected competitor's EVs. Also, Tesla didn't reduce their prices yet and I knew friends who were waiting for a long time for their delivery. So at the time when I bought the BZ4X, it made much more sense to buy it. I bought my BZ4X at MSRP which seemed like a good deal at the time when I saw it had just appeared on the dealer lot.
I can't really recommend BZ4X now given what I have covered so far. I personally won't buy another EV at least in the near future either given the issues other car makers have whether they are new EV entrants or legacy auto. The BZ4X might be the most reliable EV given how conservative Toyota generally is. However, if I can decide again today, I'd get the Crown Signia or Venza (if they are still around). The BZ4X might still make sense if you can get a good lease deal with incentives.
Great if you can get a low lease price

2024 Toyota bZ4X Limited 4dr SUV AWD (electric DD)
Our first EV...will an EV work for our lifestyle. We test drove the Tesla model Y and then the bZ4X Limited...why does the Tesla have to feel and act so odd? bZ4X was the EV I would expect Toyota to make...conservative but cutting corners to save money. Moving from a 2016 Audi Q5 3.0T to this was not as much of a transition as I expected. It's very similar in size and the ride and … responsiveness were not that notably different. It's definitely a tighter driver door and seat than the Q5 but once you're in you forget about that. It has more road noise than I would like, but that's just Toyota cutting corners to save money as I would expect. I feel my 2010 and 2013 Venza Limiteds has less road noise and I can't compare to the Q5 since that's just not fair.
Highlights:
- ride and quickness
- big screens
- lots of back seat room
- one year of EVGo charging for free***
- 2024 models at the time of this writing had unbeatable lease terms!
Lowlights:
- Toyota app is embarrassing..the "digital key" is useless
- Only 1 keyfob from Toyota...dealer says I'll get another but never mentioned this until the deal was signed
- slow charging...I expected it to be slow but 30kW DC fast charge is even slower than I expected. Not a huge concern for me since this is a second vehicle.
- really needs a rear wiper. I don't know what conditions Toyota tested this, but when it rains I cannot see out the rear window. It needs the rear view mirror camera from the Solterra.
- no seat memory on a Limited trim in 2024? Shameful cost cutting Toyota!
- I just cannot get the JBL stereo to sound good when the vehicle is in motion. So strange that it sounds ok when still, but start driving and it changes completely. I'm assuming it's the road noise. If you want to really hear it on the highway, it needs to be in the upper 20s for volume. Just don't expect to talk to your passengers.
My take on other's reviews:
- Yes, EVs lose 30% of their range on cold weather. If you did research you would know that. All manufacturers range numbers are reported under "ideal" conditions.
- ***You CANNOT use the EVGo free charging for Uber/Lyft driving. It is clearly stated in the terms when you read them. They will cancel your free charging when they realize.
- Don't buy this if you're looking for a road trip vehicle. Know the use case and what it's best at.
- Yes, lots of cheap plastic to be found here. Piano black on the center console is a bad idea. But doors seem pretty solid to me.
Absolutely love the Bz4x

Not sure why this car gets hated on it does everything it's suppose to . On a full charge I get around 370 kms . I picked up the Bz4x with the $9000 government grants bringing 5he car down to 45k . 5hat is not bad value people will say the Tesla model Y is better but the Model Y goes for 70k here in Canada . Overall the Bz4x is a great vehicle .
