About the 2024 Toyota bZ
1st-generation bZ4X (2023-2025), second model year; targeted charging, display, and convenience updates rather than a redesign.
Toyota positions the bZ4X as a practical, two-row electric SUV with familiar five-passenger space, a quiet cabin, everyday cargo room, and a low-floor EV platform. Its core appeal is Toyota-style ease of use paired with a large touchscreen and extensive standard driver assistance. The range was sold in FWD and AWD forms, with AWD adding traction-focused capability, while the overall design emphasizes a futuristic look without abandoning conventional SUV usefulness.
The XLE is the well-equipped everyday version, with a 12.3-inch touchscreen, panoramic glass roof, wireless phone integration, and a power liftgate. The Limited adds a more comfort-focused cabin with heated and ventilated front seats, a heated steering wheel, a 360-degree camera, and automated parking assistance.
