The 2023 Toyota bZ4X is the first model the company has designed from scratch to be an electric vehicle. It’s a compact crossover with ample interior room, available all-wheel drive, and the brand’s usual suite of standard and optional safety and driver-assistance technologies. EPA projected range ratings are expected to come in at 222 to 252 miles, depending on version; prices will be announced closer to its on-sale date.
The bZ4X has been a long time coming. Toyota has long said it doesn’t see electric cars as practical or profitable. It previously offered two generations of battery-electric RAV4 EV, but only to Californians and only in the exact numbers required to meet regulatory requirements for sales of zero-emission vehicles.
