2023 Toyota bZ4X Overview

With more and more drivers switching from gas to electric, automobile manufacturers such as Toyota have been hard at work. A leader in the hybrid league, Toyota has come out with their bZ, or beyond zero, emissions initiative. We’re proud to introduce the 2023 Toyota bZ4X, an all-electric SUV with the style, ease, and convenience that comes from the Toyota name. Here are all of the top features of the 2023 Toyota bZ4X and more regarding performance, comfort, safety, and more.

The 2023 Toyota bZ4X

The 2023 Toyota bZ4X name might seem confusing at first, but the bZ stands for Beyond Zero emissions, the number 4 indicates the vehicle size, and the X stands for the SUV body style. You can get the 2023 Toyota bZ4X in two trim levels, the XLE and the Limited. This all-new all-electric vehicle offers the practicality you expect from an EV, the size and comfort you expect from an SUV, and the satisfying power and performance you expect from Toyota.

Exterior Features and Options

With two available trim levels, the bZ4X offers you a bold, customizable exterior design. There’s but one standard color, Black, though you can opt for White, Silver, Red, or Gray for an additional cost. The Limited can be paired with a stylish black roof as well. On the XLE, you’ll notice 18-inch alloy wheels with covers, a unique center bumper with a thin lower grille, and black window trim.

Moving up to the Limited adds 20-inch machine-finished multi-spoke wheels with gray accents, a foot-activated power liftgate, and chrome window trim. You can also add a split roof rear spoiler. Each trim showcases the unique hammerhead hood design with a bold black-painted accent, a ducktail rear spoiler, and black-painted overfenders with front air curtains.

Convenient Charging 

Charging has never been easier or more convenient than it is with the 2023 bZ4X. There are three levels of charging options available. Level 1 is 120-Volt, an excellent choice for drivers with shorter commutes, allowing you to go from low battery to a 100% charge using a common household outlet. It charges at about four miles per hour of charging time.

Level 2 is a 240-Volt that offers faster charging in your home at about 23 miles per hour of charge time. Installation is easy and will allow your bZ4X to charge in about 9.5 hours fully. Lastly, there’s the Level 3 or the DC Fast Charging option. A charging station takes you from a low battery light to about an 80% charge in around 30 minutes on the front-wheel-drive or 60 minutes with the all-wheel-drive. This method is currently only available at public charging stations. In the El Monte area? You can find a helpful guide to El Monte EV charging locations in our post!

All-Electric Power

The bZ4X is the first-ever Toyota to use the new Toyota New Global Architecture platform, specifically for Toyota electric vehicles. This allows for a steady, comfortable ride and outstanding performance. The electric power delivers nearly instant torque. The front-wheel-drive produces 201 horsepower and a max of 196 pound-feet, while the all-wheel-drive version will deliver 248 pound-feet of torque and 214 horsepower.

An EPA-estimated 252-mile range allows you to go further without stopping to charge. Regenerative braking is utilized to help capture some of the energy that would otherwise be lost. The powerful electric motor can also be paired with the available all-wheel-drive system with X-Mode so you can drive with confidence in rain, snow, mud, and other road conditions if the need arises.

Advanced Toyota Safety Sense 3.0 System

The 2023 bZ4X comes with the advanced Toyota Safety Sense 3.0 program to help keep you out of harm’s way and help you drive with confidence. It includes a pre-collision system with pedestrian detection, a lane departure alert with steering assist, and lane tracing assist. The road sign assist program detects stop signs, speed limit signs, and more and displays them clearly for you to see.

The full-speed range dynamic radar cruise control system is intended for highway use and allows you to drive at a predetermined speed. It uses distance control to help your vehicle maintain a safe distance from the vehicle in front of you.

Comfort and Interior Design

The interior of the all-new bZ4X offers the warmth, comfort, and space your family deserves. The open layout provides abundant cargo and legroom so that nobody has to sacrifice their space. Inside the XLE, you’ll notice a leather-trimmed steering wheel, dial-type shift knob, and fabric/Softex-trimmed seats. You also get dual-zone automatic climate control, a soft-touch fabric dashboard, and a convenient cargo area tonneau cover.

The Limited has additional features such as a heated leather-trimmed steering wheel, heated and ventilated front seats with available heated rear seats, and ambient floor lighting. Whichever trim level you decide works best for your lifestyle will surround you with premium features to help keep you relaxed and ready for your next ride.

Connectivity and Technology

The bZ4X comes with advanced connectivity and technology features to help keep you connected to the world around you. A Qi-compatible wireless smartphone charger will help keep all your devices at full battery. You’ll also find several charging and media ports throughout the vehicle. A standard 12.3-inch multimedia screen will display information from your phone, thanks to wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. This connectivity will allow you to make calls, access your navigation system, and easily turn on your favorite playlist.

An available JBL premium audio system comes with a subwoofer, 800-watt sound system, and nine speakers to provide you with an immersive listening experience.
