Now On Sale: 2024 Toyota bZ4X
Posted on January 10, 2024
The future is fresh, innovative, and advanced in the 2024 Toyota bZ4X – the all-electric, zero-emissions vehicle that delivers an exhilarating ride along with the capability and versatility that Canadian drivers demand in an SUV.
“Building on Toyota’s industry-leading expertise in powertrain electrification, the bZ4X is the battery-powered EV that offers Canadians many compelling reasons to embrace the future of transportation, today,” said Cyril Dimitris, Vice President, Toyota Canada Inc. “It’s the perfect choice for Canadians looking to enjoy the benefits of a well-designed, engineered, and built SUV while also helping society realize a greener, carbon-neutral future.”
The bZ4X is Toyota’s first vehicle in its bZ – “beyond Zero” – series, with more models on the horizon. Toyota designs these vehicles with human-centricity at heart – fusing zero-emissions mobility, innovative spaces for driver and passengers, and a commitment to moving beyond Zero emissions to create a net-positive impact on society and the planet.
The 2024 bZ4X is sized to occupy the middle of the very popular compact SUV segment – while combining the originality needed to stand out from the crowd. With no need for a grille, the bZ4X’s front fascia and headlamps emphasize the corners for a fresher, aerodynamic look, while a lower hood height improves forward visibility. The side profile is balanced and sleek – with a long wheelbase, dynamic character lines, and a flowing silhouette. The rear emphasizes the bZ4X’s powerful stance while once again putting focus on the corners and tail lamps. Notable exterior features include auto-levelling LED headlamps, LED daytime running lights, LED rear combination lamps, rain-, mist-, and moisture-sensing wipers with deicers, power-adjustable and heated exterior mirrors with puddle lights, and a powered back door.
Open the doors, and the bZ4X’s extra-wide interior results in a spacious, quiet, and relaxing cabin for driver and up to four additional passengers. Comfort is assured – with legroom equivalent to that in a large sedan for all passengers, as well as copious side-to-side space in the rear seat. Premium component finishes and soft-touch materials elevate the style and comfort, while smart design places controls and gauges within easy reach and sightline for the driver. All models feature dual-zone automatic climate control with an automatic air circulation control system, a heated and leather-wrapped steering wheel on a tilting/telescoping column, front centre console box, and a 7-inch full-colour LCD multi-information display. By stowing the 60/40 split folding rear seat, the bZ4X can hold an impressive amount of cargo.
Toyota offers the bZ4X with a choice of two all-electric powertrains:
The bZ4X LE features a front-wheel-drive system that enables a range of up to 406 km between charges. This model’s powertrain delivers its 150kW power output to the front wheels, translating to 201 system horsepower and 196 lb-ft of torque.
The bZ4X XLE and XLE Technology Package feature the added all-weather confidence of an all-wheel-drive powertrain that splits front/rear axle power 80kW/80kW. These models are rated at 214 system horsepower and 248 lb-ft of torque, with a range of up to 367 km between charges.
For the 2024 model year, the Toyota bZ4X adds new features focused on convenience and charging capability. First, the fully digital multi-information display now provides owners with additional charging information to make trip planning easier. Additional data includes the state of charge percentage, estimated time to 80-percent charge, and estimated vehicle range. (Owners of 2023 bZ4X models may visit any Toyota dealership for a software update to add this capability to their vehicle’s multi-information display.) Charging times in cold weather conditions have been improved for DC fast charging. Enhancements have been made to the battery thermal system, including the addition of a water-to-water heat exchanger and heating adjustment valve to increase battery temperature, allowing for faster DC charging in cold temperatures.
The bZ4X puts intuitive technology at one’s fingertips – and voice. Every model features the Toyota Multimedia system – a bundle of smart connectivity technologies that keeps drivers informed and safe while simplifying their lives behind the wheel. The system integrates wirelessly with both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto and features Toyota’s newest interface, which improves interaction between people and vehicle through sight, touch, and voice. Many functions may be controlled via the touch screen via the same gestures used on mobile phone screens.
Every bZ4X also comes with an impressive package of safety features, headlined by Toyota Safety Sense 3.0 – the newest configuration of Toyota’s suite of active safety technologies and capabilities that supports driver awareness and decision making to help reduce the potential for accidents. Other standard safety features include a backup camera, eight airbags, a tire pressure monitoring system with auto location, and an onboard tire repair kit.
Toyota Canada offers the bZ4X in three grades, as follows:
