Many manufacturers are creating electric models, and finally, Toyota has followed suit with their first mass-produced model called the bZ4X. Although the bZ4X is a small SUV, its comfortable seating and load of technology features make it a must-own. You're sure to be impressed by the quality and comfort this model offers, so visit us in Gaithersburg, MD or shop with us online and purchase the new bZ4X today.
As an all-electric vehicle, the bZ4X is available in two trims with two distinct powertrains. The base model, the XLE, uses a single-motor, front-wheel-drive model to produce 201 horsepower and 196 lb.-ft of torque. While the Limited trim uses a dual-motor all-wheel-drive setup to produce 214 hp and 248 lb.-ft.
Along with two strong powertrains, the bZ4X also has regenerative braking, which uses the vehicle's motion to generate power for the battery. While other EVs use multiple regen modes, Toyota has opted instead to have the bZ4X use a one-pedal-driving feature that can be switched on and off. Switched off, regen is moderated with the brake pedal and switched on - the bZ4X will decelerate at a moderate rate when you release the accelerator. However, Arlington drivers will need to use the brake pedal to bring the car to a full stop.
Speaking of the vehicle's batteries, the bZ4X has two nearly identical sets. The single-motor has a 63.4-kWh battery, and the dual-motor has a 65.5-kWh pack. According to the EPA, the FWD single-motor model gets an estimated 252 miles on a single charge, while the all-wheel-drive model offers around 228 miles of range.
The bZ4X model takes its cues from several other models. This sleek-looking EV has similarities to the Toyota RAV4 though the blacked-out grille takes inspiration from Tesla models. This model also has a nice array of colors. The attractive bright red is seen in almost every photo, but this model is available in black, white, and shades of gray.
The bZ4X has a spacious interior with a dashboard that offers a digital gauge display and a 12.3-inch central touchscreen. The wide center console between the front seats features standard wireless smartphone charging and open storage underneath. But surprisingly, there's no glove box.
Optional features in the Limited trim include a radiant heating element in the lower dash that warms front passengers' legs. There's also plenty of storage space behind the rear seats, with about 26 to 28 cubic feet.
Not only is the bZ4X spacious and well-equipped, but it's also reliable as it offers a wealth of standard and optional safety features. Basic equipment includes pedestrian and cyclist detection, lane-keeping assist, and automated emergency braking. While higher trims include a surround-view camera system and front and rear parking sensors.
Every bZ4X trim will come standard with a large 12.3-inch infotainment touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto capability. A seven-inch digital gauge display is also standard. The infotainment system is well-connected, offering cloud-based navigation, an onboard Wi-Fi hotspot, and wireless smartphone charging. There's also a six-speaker stereo with SiriusXM satellite. But for a more advanced sound system, Baltimore shoppers can purchase an optional, nine-speaker JBL stereo system on the Limited trim.
