Toyota bZ4X: battery, range and trim levels
The Toyota bZ4X is Toyota's first compact electric crossover, on sale in Europe from 2022. We look at the battery options, gearboxes, trim levels and what to check before buying a used bZ4X.
bZ4X at a glance
The bZ4X is built on Toyota's dedicated e-TNGA electric vehicle platform, co-developed with Subaru. It's technically related to the Subaru Solterra. It's a compact crossover that competes with the Volkswagen ID.4, Skoda Enyaq and Kia EV6.
Toyota emphasises reliability and long battery life, while the interior boasts high-quality materials and ample space for passengers. The dashboard is mounted high above the steering wheel.
Which version to choose
The first bZ4X models (2022–2024) come with around a 71 kWh battery and are offered with front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive. Used examples are already available and cost significantly less than new.
The refreshed bZ4X arrived in 2025: it features improved batteries, more powerful gearboxes and an updated interior. There aren't many used examples around yet.
Engine and battery
The earlier version with front-wheel drive has around a 204 hp electric motor, while the all-wheel-drive version (two motors) offers around 218 hp. The battery is around 71 kWh, and according to the manufacturer's WLTP figures, the range is roughly 280–310 miles, depending on the version.
Real-world range depends on speed, weather conditions and driving style. It's usually shorter in winter, so choose with caution.
What to check when buying a used bZ4X
Toyota recalled the first batch of bZ4X in 2022 due to potentially loosening wheel lug nuts, so ensure all manufacturer recall campaigns have been completed. Request the service history and check if there's a valid manufacturer warranty.
Check the battery condition and charging history, test fast charging and home charging. Ensure all auxiliary systems and multimedia are functioning.
Inspect the body and wheels. The bZ4X is still new in the used market, so long-term data is scarce, making the service history particularly important.
