bZ4X XLE AWD
Overview
The 2023 Toyota bZ4X XLE AWD is a powerful re-entry into the electric vehicle market, striking a chord with its distinctive design. Unlike Toyota's previous all-electric offerings, the bZ4X is now accessible nationwide, with a driving range that rivals many in its class.
Toyota is making its mark in the EV sector once again with the futuristic 2023 Toyota bZ4X crossover. Its sharp and unique aesthetic significantly distinguishes it from Toyota’s line-up of traditional gasoline-powered SUVs. Now, unlike Toyota’s previous electric model—the RAV4 EV—the bZ4X is conveniently available at Toyota dealerships across the country, ensuring easier access for potential buyers.
The bZ4X offers the choice of either a front- or all-wheel-drive model, catering to a variety of driving preferences. Impressively, the front-wheel-drive model claims to provide up to 252 miles of driving on a single charge. This impressive range highlights Toyota’s commitment to innovation and sustainability without compromising on power or performance.
Despite joining an expanding group of non-luxury EV SUVs, the bZ4X stands its ground thanks to its unique features and capabilities. However, it’s worth noting that our tests reveal its real-world highway range may fall slightly behind some competitors. Nonetheless, given its competitive price point and sleek design, it still presents a compelling choice for potential EV buyers.
Co-developed with the Subaru Solterra, the two models share many similarities. However, while the Subaru variant comes standard with all-wheel drive and carries a higher price tag, the bZ4X offers flexible driving options and presents a more affordable choice without compromising on performance or features. Both are excellent choices for those looking to shift towards sustainable transportation options without sacrificing power or style.
