Unlike your average Toyota, this new electric SUV stays on your mind.
. In Toyota's lineup, only the RAV4 Prime and Supra are quicker. Among its competitive set, though, dual-motor versions of the Hyundai Ioniq 5, Kia EV6, and Ford Mustang Mach-E all do the sprint in less than 5.0 seconds. Still, the bZ4X delivers torque in a remarkably linear fashion, pulling amply off the line and while underway. Even though the bZ4X's 14.5-second, 95.9-mph quarter-mile result lags the approximately 13.0-second, 100.
The dual-motor powertrain proves sweet in everyday driving. Compared to Toyota's wheezy naturally aspirated I-4, peaky V-6, and , it's enjoyably—even provocatively—swift. Accelerative context is provided by audible yet unobtrusive motor whine. The motors are tuned harmoniously, maintaining balance if accelerating with the steering wheel turned.Conversely, braking performance is unimpressive. The 2023 Toyota bZ4X's 125-foot 60-0-mph stopping distance trails the aforementioned Hyundai, Kia, and Ford. Our test drivers were perturbed by the pedal's difficult modulation and felt it shuddering under ABS.
In terms of handling, the 2023 Toyota bZ4X can't match the competition. It rounded our skidpad at 0.77 g average and completed the figure-eight in 27.4 seconds at 0.62 g average. Even in single-motor guise,, posting 0.83 g average on the skidpad and effectively matching the Toyota on the figure-eight. But those numbers don't evince the bZ4X's smooth, composed road manners.
That's due to its battery capabilities. At best, range comes in at 252 miles for the single-motor powertrain in XLE trim. At worst, it rates at 222 miles, as is the case for this dual-motor Limited test vehicle. While those figures are generally comparable to the Ioniq 5 and EV6, other EVs have a significant advantage in charging. The bZ4X maxes out at 150 kW on single-motor models, and, due to its different battery pack, only 100 kW for dual-motor examples.
