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

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.

out of 10

We drove the 2025 Toyota bZ4X on our test track and on real roads. Our Edmunds team conducts rigorous independent vehicle testing, driving 500,000 miles a year.^{The Edmunds Vehicle Testing Team evaluates a fresh batch of vehicles every week, pairing objective assessments at our test track with real-world driving on city streets, freeways and winding roads. The data we gather results in our Expert Ratings. They’re based on 30-plus scores that cover every aspect of the automotive experience.}

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.

Continue reading Edmunds Expert Rating below

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 …

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.

We leased our BZ in April 2024, so far we love it, it’s just fun to drive, and well appointed. Also, our Toyota dealer has been very responsive to our questions. I hadn’t been too interested in EVs but realized that 90% of our driving was around town. So we use the BZ locally and our Toyota Highlander hybrid for extended trips, but that may change as we become more familiar with public …

Smooth and Quiet, Toyota Familiarity, Poor Value

edthelazyboy, 05/07/2023

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.

We have a limited number of reviews for the 2025 Toyota bZ4X, so we've included reviews for other years of the bZ4X since its last redesign.

2025 Toyota bZ4X First Impressions

by Chase Bierenkoven

•2/27/2025

For 2025, Toyota has introduced a host of updates for its bZ4X electric SUV. Changes include new, lower pricing, a new Nightshade special edition, improved dual-voltage charging, newly standard driver aids and more. Toyota has announced that the 2025 bZ4X’s base XLE trim starts at $38,465 MSRP including $1,395 in destination charges. The range-topping Limited trim, meanwhile, now starts at $43,195 MSRP. Optional all-wheel drive can be had regardless of trim for an additional $2,080.

The bZ4x joins the Nightshade club

Toyota has also introduced a new Nightshade edition based on the all-wheel-drive XLE trim for the bZ4X. The dark-themed special edition found on a number of other Toyotas will offer white Wind Chill Pearl paint with a black roof, or dark gray Heavy Metal paint with a contrasting black roof. Other updates include black 20-inch wheels, badging, door handles and a black rear spoiler. A black interior features sporty red stitching.

Newly standard driver aids are locked behind the top trim

For 2025, the bZ4X also gets some new driver aids included as standard. However, Toyota locks these newly standard aids behind the more expensive bZ4X Limited, leaving XLE drivers without. Three driver aids now come included with Limited models: Traffic Jam Assist, lane change assist, and front cross-traffic alert. Traffic Jam Assist allows drivers to navigate stop-and-go traffic hands-free while the bZ4X accelerates, steers, and brakes at speeds under 25 mpg.

Charging gets a little easier

All 2025 bZ4X EVs will come with a year of complimentary charging at any EVgo public charging station. Owners will be able to sign up via the Toyota App, as well as find and use the EVgo stations. More importantly, Toyota will also include a new dual-voltage charging cable and CCS connector that will enable Level 3 DC fast charging. Owners can also opt to include the cost of an in-home Level 2 charger (which will add about 20 miles of range per hour of charging) in their purchase or lease.

The new changes, especially Toyota’s big price cuts, do help to make the bZ4X more appetizing. Additionally, Toyota’s changes to how bZ4x owners can charge should help to compensate somewhat for the EV’s disappointing range — just 256 miles in the real-world Edmunds EV Range Test — which will likely remain the same for 2025. Toyota says the 2025 bZ4X will hit dealers early next year.
