Toyota bZ4X

As Toyota’s first all-electric mainstream model, the bZ4X has a lot riding on its shoulders.

Not only does it need to compete against popular models like the Tesla Model Y, Hyundai Ioniq 5 and Kia EV6, but it also has to shepherd the world’s biggest car brand into an all-new automotive era.

Already available in overseas markets, the bZ4X won’t arrive in Australia until early 2024.

The line-up currently starts at $66,000 for the BZ4X 2WD and ranges through to $76,250 for the range-topping BZ4X AWD - TWO Tone Roof.

Toyota bZ4X Interior

The bZ4X is about Toyota RAV4-sized, meaning it is about 4.7 metres long, 1.9m wide and 1.7m tall. It sits on a 2850mm wheelbase, and that's longer than a RAV4's.

The interior is bisected by a longitudinal bi-level console up front, offering plenty of storage as well as a handy arm rest. The driver sits in front of a digital instrumentation pod, while over at the centre of the dash is a 12.3-inch touchscreen.

Ventilation is excellent, the driving position is first class, and the quality of materials and trim surpass expectations.

That long wheelbase also translates to heaps of space front and back, with plenty of legroom as well as clearances for shoulders, heads and hips.

Among the many amenities are USB ports, air vents for all all and a good-sounding audio system, as part of an advanced multimedia set-up.

Toyota bZ4X Q&As

Check out real-world situations relating to the Toyota bZ4X here, particularly what our experts have to say about them.

  • How to charge a Toyota bZ4X (how much does it cost & how long does it take)?

    There are three ways of charging the Toyota bZ4X – two at home and one in public. The first is the cheapest albeit slowest method and uses a standard 240V powerpoint with the charging cable provided by Toyota. The 71.4 kWh battery with 64kWh of usable capacity takes 30 hours to charge from 10 per cent to 100 per cent, with average energy prices in Australia costing between 21 to 36 cents per kWh. Prices can depend on demand and which state you live in, though. Alternatively, owners can install an AC wall charger through a licensed electrician. On average, the cost of these ranges from anywhere between $800 and $2000, with additional charges to install. A 7kW unit will deliver 10 to 100 per cent charging in 10 hours, while an 11kW unit will deliver a 10 to 100 per cent charge in 6.5 hours. The cost to charge can be free if your unit is hooked up to solar power. Finally, a public DC charging station will deliver a charge of 10 to 100 per cent at the bZ4X’s maximum capacity of 150kW in approximately 45 minutes. Charges depend on demand and time of day, but as a general rule you should never pay more than $40.

Toyota has yet to confirm equipment levels for Australia.

We're expecting to see an 8.0-inch touchscreen in base grades, or a 12.3-inch unit in higher versions.

Look for a long list of driver-assist safety tech, such as autonomous emergency braking (AEB), lane keep alert/assist and blind-spot alert/assist systems and adaptive cruise.

All models might also boast a powered driver’s seat, heated front seats, a powered tailgate and 18-inch alloy wheels all as standard.
