Electric Adventures: The 2024 Toyota bZ4X Overview

Power and Performance

The Toyota bZ4X can be configured with either a single motor powering the front wheels or two motors powering all the wheels. The single motor front-wheel drive model uses a 63.4 kWh battery and generates 201 horsepower, while the dual-motor all-wheel drive uses a 65.5 kWh battery and generates 215 horsepower.

The single motor front-wheel drive has a range of 242 miles for the Limited trim and 252 miles for the XLE trim, while the dual motor all-wheel drive has a range of 222 for the Limited trim and 228 for the XLE trim.

The dual voltage charging cable (Level 1 and Level 2) with 6.6kW onboard charger can fill the battery in 9 hours. Using a DC fast-charger can add 80% charge in just under an hour. The battery temperature monitoring system allows for speedier DC charging.
