2025 Toyota bZ4X Consumer Reviews

Not for road tripping at all
The Bz4X AWD Limited is a nice car. It drives like I expect a Toyota to drive, and for daily commutes, it's great. This is a really good first EV for Toyota loyalists who need a good commuter car. However even if you accept 10-80% DC fast charging in an hour, after 2 cycles of charging that amount (about 110-120 kWh) in 24 hours, any further DC fast charging is throttled to level 2 charging speeds. This "feature" is intended to protect the battery's longevity, but it's not explicitly listed anywhere, and discovering it the hard way sucks. For people who never intend to drive more than 400-450 miles a day, and mostly just do shorter commutes, it's a nice car. Just hope to never need to drive further than that in an emergency, because it will be tortuous beyond that point.

Enjoyed Until Winter Hit the Range
The stylish exterior more pleasing than the dull Tesla appearance; and, the range certainly could benefit from the hyped numbers Tesla used for bringing in value. And, all has been reasonable until the available range kept dropping down a couple of miles after each L1 charge during cold weather. Still an excellent choice as my daughter’s daily commute and “dad” takes care of all the details. EV mindset adjustment is necessary in today’s world and Toyota quality is present, as expected, and a 10-year battery warranty is definitely a plus. All the Tesla models offer are a moving value point due to arbitrary price adjustments from the manufacturer lead; and, since 3 of those models are in top 10 categories for issues, much prefer to be inside the Toyota.

We love our BZ4X
Our BZ4X Limited FWD has one pedal driving aka Regenerative Braking. Not sure why this Edmonds review says it doesn’t. Anyway… We love the car. We drive it from Los Angeles to Lake Arrowhead and back with me, wife, two kids, a dog and a heavy load of luggage and large toolbox, on a full charge and return with 10% left. I installed a 240v charger at my house and it charges fast. Everything feels high quality. The JBL sound system sounds great. The lighting is fantastic. I personally love the futuristic looks. The sky roof is awesome. Feels like I’m driving a car from Robotech. This is my first EV. We didn’t want a Tesla… OH and it’s an easy car to wash and vacuum as well. An R2D2 thumbs up from 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 .

Not a road trip EV
The good.... it handles very well, better acceleration than most gas powered cars. Its reasonably quiet. I'm a toyota guy so the interior and electronics were a lot alike. The not so good... Charging at home, I get close to 7kW consistently. Fast charging, it seems Toyota has limited to 30kW so a full charge can take hours and hours. Range is the disappointment. I have the AWD Limited version and get 2.6-2.6 M/kWh or 160-170 miles range through the summer. I mostly do highway driving and have never been above 3 M/kWh. The other nit is lack of charge planning in the car itself. Finding a charger requires a phone or pad. I'm a bit concerned about what my winter range will be. I've got a 55 mile one way commute each day. Should still be ok unless its in the teens out. But still, I was expecting about twice the milage/range.
