It took Toyota a long time to produce a mass-market electric vehicle. One might hope the bZ4X was worth the wait. Not so much. The bZ4X is comfortable and packs in lots of technology features. But its lackluster range, performance and interior design sink it to also-ran status in the EV field.

Pros

Smooth ride quality
Easy-to-use controls and touchscreen interface
Comfortable front seats

Cons

Disappointing real-world range
No one-pedal drive mode, which many rival EVs have
Lackluster acceleration and handling
Difficult to find a natural-feeling seating position

What's new

Dual-voltage (Level 1 and Level 2) charging cable is now standard
All-wheel-drive models can now fast charge at speeds up to 150 kW
Other minor updates to standard features
Part of the first bZ4X generation introduced for 2023

Overview

The bZ4X is the only electric vehicle that Toyota currently offers. It's a two-row SUV that's about the size of the RAV4, although it starts at a notably higher price that's closer to the Grand Highlander. The bZ4X is almost identical to the Subaru Solterra because both electric SUVs were jointly developed by both companies. For 2024, Toyota added more standard features to the bZ4X, including a power liftgate and a power-adjustable driver's seat on the XLE trim and an automated parking system on the Limited trim. A dual-voltage charging cable that can be used for Level 1 or Level 2 charging is now included on both trims.

Am I Ready for an EV?

EV ownership works best if you can charge (240V) at home or at work ^{This typically means a 240V home installation, but you could also have a similar setup at your office or other places your car is already parked for several hours each day. Don't expect a regular household outlet (120V) to suffice unless you've got a plug-in hybrid, in which case overnight charging at home is feasible.}
If you can’t charge at home, charging at a charging station could take at least 10x longer than at a gas station ^{With public charging infrastructure still in its infancy, the user experience can be maddeningly inconsistent. Tesla owners tend to rave about the reliability and speed of the company's proprietary Supercharger stations, but rival DC fast options have thus far been plagued by technical issues and overcrowding. It's an evolving landscape and our best advice is to do your research on the available options for the EV you want to buy.}
Adding a 240V home charging system could cost up to $1,600 or more ^{If your existing electrical service can handle the additional demands of EV charging, you may be able to add Level 2 charging at home for less than a grand, including installation. But your costs will multiply if you need to upgrade your electrical panel or add a dedicated circuit.}

Edmunds spotlight: A good first electric vehicle … for local driving

The bZ4X is a good choice if you're new to EVs because it drives much like a regular gas-powered SUV. But if you've driven an EV before and enjoy the ease of one-pedal driving, you might be disappointed that the bZ4X doesn't have it. As with most Toyotas, the bZ4X is comfortable and comes standard with lots of tech, including wireless smartphone connectivity and a suite of advanced driver aids such as adaptive cruise control. It's quicker than most comparable gas-powered SUVs but slower than many of its electric SUV rivals. The bZ4X's driving range of 222-252 miles is sufficient for local commuting, but it's among the lowest in its class and not ideal for long trips.

Competitors to consider

If you stick to short commutes and don't mind the bZ4X's modest power and lack of one-pedal driving, then you'll likely be happy with the electric Toyota. But if those drawbacks are making you hesitate, then check out its rivals. The Hyundai Ioniq 5, Kia EV6 and Ford Mustang Mach-E are three of our top electric SUVs. The Volkswagen ID.4 and Tesla Model Y are other solid alternatives. And if you're unsure about going all-electric, consider the RAV4 Prime. It's a plug-in hybrid that provides an electric driving range and has a similar starting price as the bZ4X.

Performance

7.0/10

How does the bZ4X drive? For better or worse, the bZ4X feels more like a regular SUV, such as a Toyota RAV4, than it does an actual EV. It's quicker than most small gas-powered SUVs but slower than most rival EVs such as the Tesla Model Y or Ford Mustang Mach-E. 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

8.0/10

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 bench 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. And 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 get the climate control going remotely, something other automakers usually leave for a smartphone app. Our test vehicle had heated and ventilated front seats, both of which worked well.

Build & Price

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 itself 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 doesn't have as spacious an interior as its rivals, but in reality there's plenty of space in either row for all but the tallest of passengers. The space and tallish ride height make getting in and out a breeze. The center console is tall, 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 staff testers aren't enamored with high-mounted instrument display.

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 Tesla Model Y or Ford Mustang Mach-E.

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.

Range and Efficiency

6.0/10

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 whether it has all-wheel drive. Our front-wheel-drive bZ4X Limited test vehicle had an estimated range of 242 miles. In the Edmunds EV Range Test, the Toyota traveled a disappointing 227 miles of range from full a battery charge. That's one of the worst results we've seen from any EV we've tested and well off what we've seen from some class leaders.

Our observed use of electricity was off from the EPA's estimates too. The EPA says the bZ4X should use about 26 kWh of electricity for every 100 miles of driving. On our dedicated EV test route, we measured 28.5 kWh used. (Remember that the higher the kWh number, the less efficient the EV is.) For comparison, a Chevrolet Bolt we tested used 25.7 kWh/100 miles.

In terms of DC fast charging, one change for 2024 is that both the front-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive bZ4X charge at a maximum of 150 kW, which is pretty good for an EV in this price range and should speed up charging times in ideal conditions. Previously, the all-wheel-drive model was limited to 100 kW.

Value

7.0/10

Is the bZ4X a good value? The bZ4X starts in the mid-$40,000s which is on par for EVs in this class. The base bZ4X comes reasonably well equipped, and our near-$50K test vehicle was loaded with just about every available option. But we don't think you're really getting your money's worth here. The interior doesn't feel as premium as the cabins of the Ford Mustang Mach-E, Hyundai Ioniq 5 and Kia EV6. Those vehicles all cost about the same as the Toyota and offer similar features and much more 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/50,000 miles of roadside assistance and scheduled maintenance. One nice plus is Toyota's inclusion of a year of free charging at EVgo stations.

Wildcard

7.0/10

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?

Of the two trim levels the bZ4X offers, we recommend the XLE trim. Even though it's the base trim, it comes equipped with a long list of features including a large 12.3-inch touchscreen, a wireless charging pad, a package of advanced driver aids, and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The XLE also provides a longer driving range than the top Limited trim. You can opt for all-wheel drive, but we recommend only getting it if it's needed because it reduces the driving range.

Smooth and Quiet, Practical, Poor Value

edthelazyboy, 05/07/2023

2023 Toyota bZ4X Limited 4dr SUV (electric DD)

I had this EV Crossover for 4 months now. It's my very first EV. I have very mixed feeling about my experience. Here are the positives: - First, it is very smooth and quiet. Merging on highways and climbing hills is effortless. There's no abrupt power transition or vibration coming from a gas engine. Power is buttery smooth. It makes driving very calming. - The sunroof has an actual … power cover. The competitors are all crazed on panoramic glass roofs with no cover. Why?! Why does everyone else think they need to do what Tesla started? I cannot count the times I keep the cover closed because my daughter didn't want the sun to shine at her face. Thank you, Toyota, for having common sense here. - The controls are mostly traditional and easy to figure out. I didn't need the salesperson to show me how to operate the vehicle. I didn't need to read tutorials or watch videos. I don't understand why other EV vehicles have to make their controls so weird for the sake of it being EV. Moving many functions to the infotainment system is detrimental to driver attention and makes features more difficult to access. I like to highlight the disappointments I have with my new EV: - I had to get the Limited trim to even get power driver's seat and the front passenger seat is still manual. There is no option for memory seats, power folding mirrors, power adjustable steering wheel, or automatic parking. This is INEXCUSABLE for $50K in 2023. Even my 2021 Venza XLE has these features, except auto parking, and it only costed me around $35K. Heck, even Camry LE has power driver seats standard for at least two decades. - There is no battery state of charge percentage display. I have to check the app to get the percentage. The car only shows a bar graph with range estimate that changes wildly based on HVAC usage. - The built-in navigation adds little value and it's a 3 year trial. It doesn't even offer EV route planning. I can just use my phone instead for free. Toyota still thinks we are living in year 2005. - The center console Qi wireless charging phone bay is poorly designed. Why in the world does a USB-A port have to be located in this phone bay? The USB plug gets in the way so that my phone can no longer lie flat in the phone holder. I end up having to put the phone in the cupholders or prop it with the charge port sticking up since the cable is plugged into the bottom on the phone. The cover is not useful at all even if it has a window on top. I still forget my phone if I close the cover. - The rear window needs wiper and washer. Toyota claims that it's unnecessary due to the design. I disagree when it's raining or my rear windows are dusty. - The giant wheel well arches cladding are ugly and unnecessary. They are too intrusive. This must be Suburu's decision to put them in. - The front reading lights are putting form over function. They don't provide much illumination as even the front vanity mirror lights are much brighter. Toyota could have just use the Venza's ceiling control/light unit. - There's no 12 Volt plug in the cargo area. Same complaint for my Venza. - There's lack of illumination in the cargo area. Also, the light can easily be blocked by cargo. Same complaint for my Venza. In summary, this EV crossover is great for first time EV users transitioning from gas vehicles especially from Toyotas. The major plus is the smooth, quiet, and responsive powertrain. However, the lack of features at the price point or the high price for the feature set in 2023 is a major detraction. Also, some unacceptably poor decisions were made in the design. Reliability might the a strong point, but only time will tell. Toyota claims that 90% of battery capacity will be present, after a decade, which I hope will come of fruition.

2023 Toyota bZ4X Limited 4dr SUV AWD (electric DD)

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 …

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 .
