2025 Toyota bZ4X Consumer Reviews
Pricing
Don’t Purchase (if I could give no stars I would)
Charge time is triple to 4x advertised time frame (manufacturer “advertised is ideal conditions” & “read the fine print”) Range - apparently after spending all this money on a vehicle the expectation is you can’t use any options I.e. heat, AC. Radio etc. It was a nightmare with this car for the year I had it and best part the minute you drive off the lot you lose half of the money you paid for it. So disappointed in the dealership and more importantly the manufacturer

Bzzzzzzzzzzzz!!!
I've only had it a week and love love love it, Got the limited because I dont do hub caps, no more gas, all that money goes back into my pocket - thank you very much and feels even better driving than the Toyota Venza I had for 15 yrs, plenty of room for the kids going here and there, good covered cargo area for the clubs, easy peasy level 2 charging from home, and toyota quality. Kind of no brainer for this non-tech savvy Gen Xer. The display and the connectivity are impressive and easy to navigate, and did I mention JBL sound?

Terrible road tripper.. Otherwise Good Manners
Getting right to the chase of any EV, I've now leased a 2024 AWD version for 7 months and can tell you it's an ok car for around town, but don't think it works for long road trips. As noted in the Edmunds review, it has low range (225 miles in the summer), low charging speed (Max 100kw and only seen that less than a handful of times) and lastly, a lowly characteristic that not even Edmunds notes, Toyota has imposed a 3-a-day max CCS1 charging visit on this car. That completely rules it incapable of being used for long road trips. All else works fine in this car.

Pros: Leased FWD Looks great to me, Just leased 1 wk ago, AWD gives you less mileage. As suggested by Kia & other dealers as well as friends. Leasing is The way to go for EV market. The EV market will change in 3 years as new models and technologies changes like computers, phones and TVs. I went by the deal in NJ. Drives same as NX 300 or RAV4 and space same. Cons: The mirrors don't fold for small garages, and no rear wipers, which I don't like. The battery life small or less.

My bZ4X is my 5th EV and a favorite already…
I come from a Toyota family, but this is my first in years. I have been driving electric for over a decade and this is one of may favorite vehicles. When I test drove it back in August, it was like a homecoming. The handling was instantly familiar, and I knew before I got out of the drive way that I was going home with it. I’ve had two BMW i3s, a VW eGolf, and a Volvo XC40 Recharge AWD. I loved the maneuverability and fun of the i3, the power and luxury of the XC40, and I like the handling of the bZ4X. Yeah, it’s not the 402 HP of the XC40, but do you really need that many ponies? You don’t, and 214 HP does everything you need if you aren’t towing anything. I miss the one pedal driving, but the regen is good enough to get you to almost OPD. The Toyota doesn't come to a complete stop on regen, which I think is a safety thing. You should hold the break when you stop and this makes sure you do. The Limited comes with many of the same features as the XC40, including the safety features. The interior is fun and easy to keep clean. I have two big dogs, one a Husky mix who sheds like mad, so being able to keep the interior clean is important. That is the single reason I didn’t keep the XC40. The interior wasn’t dog owner friendly. The one thing I miss that the i3 and XC40 did, climate control with the vehicle off. I can't leave my dogs in the bZ4X, without turning the vehicle on and that means I can't lock it. Granted, my two 75 lbs dogs are a theft deterrent. I would just feel better if I could run the climate controls and lock my vehicle so I can take my dogs with me on errands. I love this EV and unless they come up with a model that has significant improvement in range, I expect to hold onto this one.
