Finally, the Exciting Toyota EV is Here
When it comes to electric vehicles, there’s nothing quite like the new Toyota bZ4x. Clearly the leader in hybrids set about to create a leader among EVs. The focus on drivability is one of the most apparent aspects. However, there are many smart touches and clever technologies that make this new Toyota EV one of the smartest on the market.
Is it right for you? Here’s what you need to know about the new bZ4x.
Powertrain
The new Toyota bZ4x is 100 percent electric. No gas needed, ever. WIth standard front-wheel drive for an easy carlike feel, the XLE powertrain provides 201 horsepower and an impressive 252-mile electric range.
For those who prefer all-wheel drive, the new bZ4x XLE AWD models deliver 214 horsepower and an estimated electric range of 228 miles according to the EPA. These estimates also show efficient electric-equivalent fuel economy ratings, with 119 MPGe combined for front-wheel drive and 104 MPGe combined for all-wheel drive.
Drivers will notice the immediate response of its electric motor when the accelerator is pressed. Maximum torque is instantly available, resulting in rapid acceleration that isn’t usual in today’s gas-powered vehicles.
Beyond that fast acceleration, however, the rest of the bZ4x operation will feel quite normal to a driver. That’s the result of smart engineering. The intelligent throttle is finely tuned to provide the expected sensation when accelerating or slowing down. Additionally, brakes feel natural to the driver despite the need for regenerative braking. This is due to a special Braking Boost Mode.
Utility
The front-wheel-drive version of this EV connects the motor to the front wheels and includes a built-in slip suppression system, enhancing traction on slippery roads. In contrast, the all-wheel-drive model employs two electric motors, powering both the front and rear wheels.
What sets this electric SUV apart is the inclusion of X-Mode, a feature not commonly found in electric SUVs. X-Mode is designed for light off-roading, expanding the vehicle's capabilities beyond typical road conditions. Additionally, AWD grip control ensures that this EV handles like a conventional motor-driven vehicle, providing better off-road performance.
On the road, all models come equipped with DC fast-chargers, making recharging more convenient. As an added benefit, purchasers or lessees of the bZ4X are entitled to a year of free charging at select EVgo stations, which is included in the Toyota BZ4X price. This feature is designed to make electric vehicle ownership more accessible and cost-effective for owners.
Interior
Somewhat on par with the Toyota RAV4, the new Toyota bZ4x offers a generous 40 inches of legroom in the front row, providing ample space for the driver and front passenger. The second row offers 35.6 inches of legroom, which is still quite comfortable for rear-seat passengers.
A shared center console with a table-like aspect and plenty of storage is a practical feature, making it convenient for passengers to store their belongings and use the console as a workspace or table.
From the get-go, the interior wears a combination of fabric and rich SofTex and fabric upholstery. High quality interior accents in Piano Black. A special panoramic roof is overhead.
Blocking noise even when traffic is busy or the road is rough, targeted wind-and-noise reduction techniques used in the design, including soundproofing glass and insulation, suggest a quieter and more comfortable ride.
Keeping you cool when our Phoenix AZ summers are way too hot, dual-zone automatic climate controls allow two people to enjoy independent control over the level of their air conditioning and fan speed.
Seats in the Limited trim are upholstered with SofTex material, available in either black or light gray, providing a premium look and feel. Luxury is further accentuated by a soft-touch dashboard and various high-quality soft-touch surfaces throughout the cabin.
For drivers in Phoenix, Arizona, the Limited trim has a special treat. Front seats are power-ventilated with a system to circulate air right there in each chair. In addition to this, drivers benefit from power-adjustable seats, allowing them to easily find the perfect perch.
A Toyota Smart Key with a pre-cooling button is a useful feature, particularly in hot summer weather. It enables the driver to cool the car before departure, ensuring a comfortable interior temperature when entering the vehicle.
These features indicate that the BZ4X is designed to offer a comfortable and modern driving experience with an emphasis on noise reduction and climate control, making it well-suited for various weather conditions and driving preferences.
Technology
The modern cockpit design of the BZ4X includes a multi-information display and a unique instrument panel, strategically placed to improve usability and optimize the driver's sightlines. The low hood design further enhances the driver's visibility on the road.
A wide-screen touch display provides extensive entertainment and information choices. Digital instrumentation puts vital information at a glance behind the steering wheel. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto coordinate with your smartphone to put favorite apps right on the screen.
A wireless charger and USB ports provide a hub for your smart devices. Premium audio systems include a 9-speaker set-up by JBL.
Safety
A truly modern driving experience demands the incorporation of advanced semi-automated driving aids, and the EV in question doesn't disappoint in this regard. It comes equipped with a suite of Toyota's cutting-edge features, including radar adaptive cruise control, a lane-keeping system, a blind-spot monitor, and traffic sign assist.
Enhancing safety, the vehicle is also equipped with an emergency autobrake system that springs into action if the forward collision alert system doesn't suffice. The pedestrian detection function has been upgraded with more capability in low-light conditions.
Parking maneuvers are made easier with the inclusion of a rear cross-traffic alert and a rearview camera. Higher trims offer a 360-degree camera system, providing a comprehensive view of the entire perimeter of the 2023 Toyota bZ4X. To further assist in parking, this EV incorporates front and rear parking sensors, bolstering the effectiveness of the warning systems and enhancing overall safety.
