$55,990

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 $55,990 for the BZ4X 2Wd and ranges through to $69,340 for the range-topping BZ4X Awd - Two Tone Roof.

Toyota BZ4X FAQs

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.
