The bZ4X’s reputation was made by its first version, which charged slowly and lost more range in the cold than buyers expected. The 2025 revision on this page raises peak DC power to 150 kW and brings the 10-80 time down to 28 minutes, which puts it level with the Volkswagen ID.4 rather than behind everything.
Range: the claim and the reality
516 km WLTP and around 375 km observed — about 73 percent, the second-weakest ratio on this site, ahead of only the rear-drive Model Y. Consumption of 184 Wh/km from a 69 kWh usable pack is what produces the shortest real-world range here.
That is a smaller battery than most of this field, and the honest way to read it is that the bZ4X asks you to charge more often rather than that it is inefficient by a wide margin. 184 Wh/km against the Ioniq 5’s 178 is a small gap; 69 kWh against 80 kWh is not.
Performance you would not expect
252 kW and 338 Nm through both axles, and 0-100 km/h in 5.1 seconds. That is quicker than the Ioniq 5, the EV6, the ID.4 and the Ioniq 6 in this database, and it is not something the bZ4X is generally credited with.
What we do not know
Toyota’s battery warranty terms vary by market and by whether the car is serviced within the network, so the warranty fields are blank here rather than filled with the most generous published figure.
The capacity-loss figure is the SUV class rate and is tagged as an estimate. Toyota has made public claims about long-term capacity retention on this platform; those are manufacturer claims, not independent measurements, and this site does not publish them as data.
Charging time and running cost for the Toyota bZ4X AWD 73.1 kWh are worked out in full on its own page. It works the numbers through at every charger power, with the tariff and efficiency assumptions printed rather than assumed: Toyota bZ4X AWD 73.1 kWh charging time and cost.
Frequently asked questions
How far does the Toyota bZ4X AWD 73.1 kWh really go on a charge?
The Toyota bZ4X AWD 73.1 kWh covers about 375 km in independently observed mixed driving, 516 km on the WLTP cycle, 288 miles on the EPA cycle. That observed figure is about 73 per cent of the WLTP claim — a shortfall is normal for every electric car, and what matters is that this one is predictable rather than that it exists. We rank the size of that gap across the database on claimed vs real range.
How long does the Toyota bZ4X AWD 73.1 kWh take to charge?
From 10 to 80 per cent on a DC rapid charger it takes about 28 minutes, peaking at 150 kW. That puts it mid-pack among the 18 cars we hold charging data for. On AC at home it accepts up to 11 kW. The peak figure on its own tells you very little — this ranking explains why the window is the honest measure.
How long will the Toyota bZ4X AWD 73.1 kWh’s battery last?
Our projection puts it at roughly 78.4 per cent of original capacity after eight years. That is an estimate, not a measurement: nobody publishes per-model degradation data, so it applies the published rate for this vehicle class and is labelled as an estimate everywhere it appears. The reasoning is set out in full on the methodology page, and we compare warranty terms across the database on best EV battery warranties.
Who should buy the Toyota bZ4X AWD 73.1 kWh?
On our data it is able to power household appliances from the pack at 1.5 kW. Whether that suits you depends on how much of your charging happens at home and how often you drive beyond one charge — the running cost calculator takes your own mileage and tariff, and the comparison tool puts this car next to any other in the database.
