Toyota Cuts Prices on 2025 bZ4x Electric SUV

Toyota is lowering its starting Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) on the MY 2025 bZ4x, with a reduction of up-to $6,000. The 2025 bZ4X also adds adds more standard driver assistance technology on the Limited grade including Traffic Jam Assist, Lane Change Assist, and Front Cross Traffic Alert.

The bZ4x offers an EPA-estimated range rating of up to 252 miles on FWD models and 228 miles on the XLE AWD equipped models. The Limited grade has an EPA-estimated range rating of up to 236 miles on the FWD model; the Limited and Nightshade AWD models have an EPA-estimated range of up to 222 miles.

The 2025 MSRP is $37,070 on the XLE FWD grade, a reduction of nearly 14%. The XLE AWD grade’s MSRP starts at $39,150. The feature-packed Limited grades also see an MSRP reduction, with models starting at $41,800 (FWD), a price reduction of $5,380. The 2025 bZ4X is expected to start arriving at Toyota dealerships nationwide in early 2025.

The bZ4X Limited grade receives three additional driver assistance features for 2025: Traffic Jam Assist (TJA) capability, Lane Change Assist, and Front Cross-Traffic Alert (FCTA). With an active Drive Connect trial or subscription, Traffic Jam Assist helps navigate the ebb and flow of stop-and-go traffic by providing hands-free control of the vehicle steering, braking and acceleration at speeds under 25 MPH on controlled access freeways, when Lane Tracing Assist (LTA) is on.

Lane Change Assist is a function that is also linked to LTA and is designed to provide assistance in performing lane changes through steering wheel operations. Front Cross-Traffic Alert is designed to detect the approach of crossing vehicles when the bZ4X enters an intersection at a low speed and notifies the driver via an audible alert and a visual alert on both the Multi-Information Display (MID) and the Head-Up Display (HUD).

All bZ4X models come with a dual voltage charging cable, capable of Level One and Level Two AC charging. It is equipped with a J1772/CCS1 (Combined Charging System) connector, which allows for Level Three DC fast charging. Under ideal conditions, with a 240V Level Two charging source, the bZ4X can charge from low battery light to full in about 9.5 hours, which can provide approximately 20 miles of range per hour of charge.

For added convenience, customers who purchase or lease a new 2025 Toyota bZ4X receive one year of complimentary charging at EVgo public charging stations nationwide. Customers can use the Toyota App on their mobile device to sign up for this offer, locate EVgo stations and initiate complimentary charging for their new bZ4X.

In terms of size, the bZ4X sits squarely in the middle of the small SUV segment. It is 3.7 inches longer than the RAV4, at 184.6 inches, with a 6.3-inch longer wheelbase at 112.2 inches. It is 2.0 inches lower than RAV4 at 65.0 inches high, and 0.2 inches wider, at 73.2 inches. bZ4X offers a comfortable 42.1 inches of legroom for the front seat and 35.3 inches for passengers in the rear seat. Cargo volume is 27.7 cubic feet behind the second row.

The all-electric bZ4X produces 201HP for FWD models and 214HP for AWD models. Due to the instantaneous torque of all-electric drivetrain, the bZ4X has an estimated 0-60 acceleration time of 7.1 seconds for FWD and 6.5 seconds for AWD.

The bZ4X’s driving performance is due in part to the BEV-dedicated e-TNGA platform. Through this architecture, bZ4X achieves a low center of gravity and greater rigidity thanks to the high-capacity Lithium-ion battery pack placed flat under the floor. The engineering team aimed to achieve the utility typically offered in small SUVs, along with smooth and powerful driving performance one would expect from an electric vehicle.

The bZ4X’s handling prowess is also due in part to the battery cross-framing structure, which adds to overall vehicle rigidity. The use of a lightweight body structure with sections of high tensile steel reinforced frame components around the battery pack coupled with a dynamic suspension contribute to the agile responsiveness of bZ4X. An intelligent throttle feature provides a smoother feel when accelerating and decelerating and Vehicle Stability Control provides impressive control on slippery roads. When driving in the Regenerative Braking with Boost Mode and you’re not on the accelerator, additional regenerative braking is applied to recapture even more lost energy and help slow you down with less reliance on the brake pedal.

Available All-Wheel Drive with X-MODE® The bZ4X also offers driving performance with the X-MODE system on bZ4X AWD-equipped models. This system is intended for a capable-yet-comfortable driving experience suited for everyday driving and off-pavement exploration. Coupled with Multi-terrain Select, the AWD system with X-MODE can be used in two modes (Snow/Dirt and Deep Snow/Mud) to tackle slippery or uneven surfaces. In both modes, the system applies the brakes on spinning wheels to produce a limited-slip differential (LSD) effect for additional traction.

Engage Snow/Dirt Mode with X-MODE to enhance vehicle stability and improve traction on bumpy or unpaved roads or certain snow-covered surfaces. Deep Snow/Mud Mode helps to tackle softer road surfaces covered by heavy snow, providing more vehicle stability by allowing the tires to slip in a way that clears away snow or mud. And in downhill situations that require the driver to apply heavy braking, Downhill Assist Control helps maintain a constant speed to allow the driver to concentrate on steering. Another feature of the AWD system with X-MODE is Grip-Control, a low-speed system that leverages motor drive power modulation to achieve capable off-road performance. This feature was developed as an added function to determine road surface characteristics and maintain a constant speed to prevent slipping on rough roads.
