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.

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 charging. We installed a Juicebox 40 in our garage and when the range is down to 70% we charge the BZ overnight. Our range is is 238 miles with climate control and 267 miles without climate control. When our family saw and drove the car, they now also lease BZs. Can not see us ever not having at least one EV in the garage, no waiting in line for gas, no oil changes, etc, the BZ has simplified our life.

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.

Smooth and Quiet, Toyota Familiarity, Poor Value

I own the 2023 Toyota BZ4X Limited FWD for more than two years now. I have mixed feelings about my BZ4X. It's my first and only EV I have ever owned. I'll start with the positives. I 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. If you drove Toyotas for many years, you can hop into a BZ4X and figure it out almost instantly. I've been getting around 4.0+ miles per KWh most of the time which is really good. Sometimes, I even get above 5.0 miles per KWh. I'm glad to say that after more than 2 years, I didn't have a single issue come up. The car works like clockwork just like any other Toyotas I have ever owned or at least driven. There are negatives too however. The problem in general is lack of value for money for the Limited trim I got. I'm noticing too many cases of cost cutting. There's too much hard plastics and overuse of piano black on the center console. It's also ironic that Toyota chose to go crazy with the two toned exterior including the wheel cladding, but the interior is so bland. Did Toyota get their B design teams to work on the interior and exterior designs? The horn sounds like that from the Corolla's. Features like power folding mirrors, front passenger power seat, and memory seats are also missing. Mine's even only has front door smart key unlocking / locking. The BZ4X also needs a rear window wiper and washer. Toyota's infotainment system and app is still buggy and very unpolished but that's got to be across the entire Toyota / Lexus lineup. Toyota really desperately needs to get more engineering talent onboard to improve their infotainment system and app. Basically.... I should not have to put up with all these shortcomings at $50K on the Limited trim with many of the options added. Toyota is either needs to put in some more luxury or they need to lower the MSRP at this high of a price point. Is 200 hp good enough? Yes, 99% of the time it's more than plenty for regular driving. No, if your goal is to race other EVs. In fact, I'm driving with ECO now. It's crazy how my BZ4X is eating up the tires already. I'm already easing off the "go pedal" to save my tires. The only time I feel wanting more is if I'm trying to do high speed passes quickly. The instant torque and smooth acceleration is already huge step up coming from a gas car. Is the charging fast enough? Yes, if you charge at home overnight or at work. No, if you do road trips and need fast DC charging. I would not even take this on a road trip. 90% my driving is in town and I drive my BZ4X most of the time. At the time I updated to this review, I'm aware that the 2026 BZ is coming out. Looks like that will have lots of improvements. Hopefully, their MSRPs will be reasonable too.

Update after 6 months and 14k . Still love my bz4x limited and wont trade it for any other car under 50k , electric or ice. Extremely comfortable, drives like a performance car and looks good. Range gives 230 without ac and 180 with on. Got used to living with that range, charge at work for free and installed chargepoint at my house just in case. Charge takes about 3 hours for 100 miles or so
