2025 Toyota bZ4X SUV Trims Comparison

Trim level differences

The 2025 Toyota bZ4X is a five-passenger electric SUV available in XLE, Nightshade and Limited trim levels. Front-wheel-drive versions have a 71.4-kilowatt-hour (kWh) lithium-ion battery and a single electric motor (201 horsepower, 196 lb-ft of torque). With all-wheel drive, the bZ4X employs a 72.8-kWh battery and two electric motors (214 horsepower, 248 lb-ft).

EPA range estimates peg the front-drive XLE at 252 miles on a full charge; selecting all-wheel drive lowers the estimated range to 228 miles. The FWD Nightshade and Limited have a max range of 236 miles, which falls to 222 miles with AWD.

Which bZ4X trim 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.
