Toyota bZ: General Information
The Toyota bZ is a compact battery-electric crossover that began life as the bZ4X (debuting for the 2023 model year) and was renamed/simplified to the bZ in North America after a 2025 refresh. Built on Toyota’s e‑TNGA platform (a joint Toyota/Subaru architecture), the model emphasizes roomy interior packaging, simple EV controls and Toyota’s safety systems while offering both single‑motor FWD and dual‑motor AWD powertrains.
Since the mid‑cycle update Toyota increased motor efficiency and charging capability: FWD versions are advertised around 221 hp while AWD models produce a combined ~338 hp. EPA range varies by powertrain and battery — Toyota lists a long‑range FWD “FWD Plus” estimate as high as 314 miles, AWD versions around 288 miles and some standard FWD configurations lower (~236 miles). Pricing for the 2026 lineup starts at $34,900 for the base XLE and rises into the mid‑$40k range for Limited and Woodland variants.
