Toyota’s hotly anticipated entry into the electric vehicle market, the 2024 bZ4X is a compact crossover boasting sleek, ultra-modern looks and a capable yet still efficient powertrain. It also offers an amenity-rich interior for an affordable price. Let’s explore more about the 2024 Toyota bZ4X below!
Powertrain Options
The bZ4X’s standard powerplant comes in the form of an AC synchronous electric motor sending its 201 hp and 196 lb.-ft of torque to the front drive wheels. Both the XLE and Limited trims offer an all-wheel-drive layout featuring two electric motors and a boost in performance, bringing total output to 214 hp and 248 lb.-ft of torque.
While both powertrain setups promise quick acceleration, the extra torque provided by the second motor comes in handy while off-roading in more rugged environments. Further contributing to AWD-equipped models’ off-roading prowess is the X-Mode system and its selection of drive modes, including Snow/Dirt and Deep Snow/Mud.
Range and Charging
While FWD versions of the bZ4X feature a 71.4-kWh lithium-ion battery, the vehicle gets a 72.8-kWh battery when AWD is selected. Either option delivers excellent range at up to 252 and 228 miles, respectively. Connected to a Level 2 (240-volt) outlet, the battery will reach a full charge in 9.5 hours. DC fast charging cuts that time down to as low as 30 minutes.
Exterior Design and Features
Hinting at the bZ4X’s advanced capabilities is its bold, future-forward styling. The vehicle’s aggressive stance, sharply angled roofline, and rear spoiler give the vehicle a sportier feel. 18-inch alloy wheels are standard, but the lineup offers 20-inch multi-spoke alloy wheels in a gray finish. Both the headlights and taillights make use of LEDs, adding flair and improved visibility in dark conditions.
Passenger Cabin
Futuristic design continues inside the bZ4X’s cabin, which has a streamlined dashboard, intuitive controls, and spacious seating for five. The 7-inch digital instrument panel is placed high on the dashboard and far forward, making it easy to view important vehicle information while you stay focused on the road. Standard amenities include SofTex leatherette upholstery, an 8-way power driver’s seat, and wireless charging.
Infotainment and Connectivity
A 12.3-inch Toyota Audio Multimedia touchscreen sits at the center of the dashboard and has wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto and support for SiriusXM satellite radio as standard features. With a USB-A media port, a pair of USB-C charging ports for each row, and available internet access through a mobile Wi-Fi hotspot, connectivity options are impressive. Powerful and immersive sound comes from an available 9-speaker JBL audio system.
With such a compelling list of features, it’s clear that the first all-electric Toyota is well worth the wait! Make the trip down to Priority Toyota Chesapeake in Chesapeake, VA today and experience the 2024 bZ4X!
