Smooth and Quiet, Toyota Familiarity, Poor Value

I own the 2023 Toyota BZ4X Limited FWD for more than two years now. I have mixed feelings about my BZ4X. It's my first and only EV I have ever owned. I'll start with the positives. I like how smooth and effortless power delivery is. It's easy to merge into traffic. I also like how the controls are very familiar for anyone who's owned Toyotas for a long time. If you drove Toyotas for many years, you can hop into a BZ4X and figure it out almost instantly. I've been getting around 4.0+ miles per KWh most of the time which is really good. Sometimes, I even get above 5.0 miles per KWh. I'm glad to say that after more than 2 years, I didn't have a single issue come up. The car works like clockwork just like any other Toyotas I have ever owned or at least driven. There are negatives too however. The problem in general is lack of value for money for the Limited trim I got. I'm noticing too many cases of cost cutting. There's too much hard plastics and overuse of piano black on the center console. It's also ironic that Toyota chose to go crazy with the two toned exterior including the wheel cladding, but the interior is so bland. Did Toyota get their B design teams to work on the interior and exterior designs? The horn sounds like that from the Corolla's. Features like power folding mirrors, front passenger power seat, and memory seats are also missing. Mine's even only has front door smart key unlocking / locking. The BZ4X also needs a rear window wiper and washer. Toyota's infotainment system and app is still buggy and very unpolished but that's got to be across the entire Toyota / Lexus lineup. Toyota really desperately needs to get more engineering talent onboard to improve their infotainment system and app. Basically.... I should not have to put up with all these shortcomings at $50K on the Limited trim with many of the options added. Toyota is either needs to put in some more luxury or they need to lower the MSRP at this high of a price point. Is 200 hp good enough? Yes, 99% of the time it's more than plenty for regular driving. No, if your goal is to race other EVs. In fact, I'm driving with ECO now. It's crazy how my BZ4X is eating up the tires already. I'm already easing off the "go pedal" to save my tires. The only time I feel wanting more is if I'm trying to do high speed passes quickly. The instant torque and smooth acceleration is already huge step up coming from a gas car. Is the charging fast enough? Yes, if you charge at home overnight or at work. No, if you do road trips and need fast DC charging. I would not even take this on a road trip. 90% my driving is in town and I drive my BZ4X most of the time. At the time I updated to this review, I'm aware that the 2026 BZ is coming out. Looks like that will have lots of improvements. Hopefully, their MSRPs will be reasonable too.

Update after 6 months and 14k . Still love my bz4x limited and wont trade it for any other car under 50k , electric or ice. Extremely comfortable, drives like a performance car and looks good. Range gives 230 without ac and 180 with on. Got used to living with that range, charge at work for free and installed chargepoint at my house just in case. Charge takes about 3 hours for 100 miles or so

I purchased a BZ4X because of Toyota’s history of reliability and haven’t been disappointed. In the last 4 months covering 9000 miles it has performed admirably and only been in the shop for a tire rotation. I don’t think I can ever go back to an Internal Combustion Engine. The BZ4X is quick, clean, and quiet. I drive it to work every and plug it in when I get home. It charges overnight and is ready to go again the next morning thanks to a level 2 home charger. I say all of this as a true owner (5 months). I love it. Thanks Toyota!

Not sure why this car gets hated on it does everything it's suppose to . On a full charge I get around 370 kms . I picked up the Bz4x with the $9000 government grants bringing 5he car down to 45k . 5hat is not bad value people will say the Tesla model Y is better but the Model Y goes for 70k here in Canada . Overall the Bz4x is a great vehicle .

The Bz4X AWD Limited is a nice car. It drives like I expect a Toyota to drive, and for daily commutes, it's great. This is a really good first EV for Toyota loyalists who need a good commuter car. However even if you accept 10-80% DC fast charging in an hour, after 2 cycles of charging that amount (about 110-120 kWh) in 24 hours, any further DC fast charging is throttled to level 2 charging speeds. This "feature" is intended to protect the battery's longevity, but it's not explicitly listed anywhere, and discovering it the hard way sucks. For people who never intend to drive more than 400-450 miles a day, and mostly just do shorter commutes, it's a nice car. Just hope to never need to drive further than that in an emergency, because it will be tortuous beyond that point.
