The FWD model has a 71.4 kWh battery and 201 horsepower with 196 lb-ft of torque, with a range of 406 km or 252 miles.The front motor of the AWD model is smaller than the rear motor, which is different than many other brands, which is why the AWD model only gets 13 horsepower more than the FWD model. There are four trims in Canada, and two in the US.
The base trim in Canada includes a heat pump, 8-inch touchscreen, 7-inch multi-information display, wireless Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, Amazon Alexa, manual cloth seats, heated power outside mirrors, LED headlights, LED taillights, 18-inch wheels, a tire repair kit, and Toyota Safety Sense 3.0. The bZ4X doesn't have a front trunk.
The base model is a front-wheel-drive, with all-wheel-drive as an option. This bZ4X offers 8.1 inches of ground clearance.
This vehicle is longer than a RAV4. It is quieter, with a dial shifter and has a multi-mode system.
The top XLE trim has a tech package that adds a black roof, and the side cladding is painted (it is unpainted in the lower trim levels). The reviewers mentioned regenerative boost. In Canada, all bZ4X trims qualify for the 5000-dollar federal EV rebate, but only a charge point home charging system installed is offered in the US. A key feature is that a full charge is one hour, depending on charging set ups.
There is a heated steering wheel, infrared heated leg warmers, and there are 5 USB ports. On a level 2 charger, full-charging this car will take 11 hours.
It doesn't come with rear windshield wiper. It has a good mix of materials and steering. It is a Toyota and you know there will be some reliability. The team recommended you get the LE front-wheel-drive model for best value.
A comparable model is the IONIQ 5 with a rear-wheel-drive starting at $45,000 up to the top model at a just under $62,000 for the GT Model. The Volvo ID4 and Ford Mustang Mach-E are also vehicles to consider, so it is always a great question of "What's your Budget?".
