What’s new in the 2024 Toyota bZ4X?
Toyota equipped the Battery Electric Vehicle with a range of systems for the 2024 model year to offer increased performance, comfort, and luxury. Now standard across all grades is a dual-voltage charging cable capable of Level One and Level Two charging. Charging times in cold weather conditions have been improved for DC fast charging. Enhancements have also been made to the battery thermal system, this includes the addition of water to the water heat exchanger and heating adjustment valve to increase battery temperature, allowing for faster DC charging in cold temperatures.
The interior wasn’t left out in the redesign, it now offers more comfort, convenience, and improved technology. New to the XLE grade is an 8-way adjustable driver’s seat and power rear lift gate for easy access. The Limited grade received a tech boost with the standard Advanced Park Now system, designed to aid the driver with hands-free parking when parallel parking or perpendicular parking.
All grades received one year of complimentary charging at EV go public charging stations nationwide. Customers will be able to use the Toyota App on their mobile devices to sign up for this offer, locate EV go stations, and initiate complimentary charging for their new bZ4X.
The unique exterior design of the 2024 Toyota bZ4X
Toyota designed the 2024 bZ4X to balance a unique, futuristic style while offering a familiar SUV package. The bZ4X sits in the middle of the compact SUV. It is 3.7 inches longer than the RAV4, at 184.6 inches, with a 6.0-inch longer wheelbase at 112.2 inches. It measures 73.2 inches in width and 65.0 inches in height. bZ4X offers a comfortable 42.1 inches of legroom for the front seat and 35.3 inches for passengers in the rear seat. At the rear is 27.7 cubic feet of cargo space to cater for your cargo needs.
At the front of the Battery Electric Vehicle is the hammerhead design which consists of long, thin signature Daytime Running Lights that seamlessly blend with the hood, creating a smart vigorous impression. This results in an aero-dynamic appearance, with the curved shape of the front bumper expressing a unique look and feel.
The rear features an “interlocked” trapezoidal design between the rear lamps, back door, and bumper. The low hood height provides superior, forward driver visibility and the ducktail spoiler and lower diffusers offer aerodynamic performance while also creating a unique look.
Exterior color options
A range of color options are available for the 2024 model year, with Black as the standard color and Heavy Metal, Supersonic Red, Elemental Silver Metallic, and Windchill Pearl as extra-cost colors in both grades. The Heavy Metal, Supersonic Red, Elemental Silver Metallic, and Windchill Pearl can be combined with a black roof for an extra sporty appearance on the Limited grade.
Interior design
The driver-oriented cockpit of the 2024 bZ4X is designed to help drivers keep their eyes on the road and their hands on the wheel. Toyota team achieved an extra wide interior cabin that results in a spacious, quiet, and relaxing space for drivers and passengers alike. Vast legroom is available in front and rear seats as well as copious side-to-side space in the rear for a home-like comfort.
Standard on the model is a fixed panoramic roof which provides a feeling of openness to bring the outside environment into the vehicle when needed. Piano-black parts are featured throughout the vehicle, enhancing the quality feel, while a satin-finished material is found on the higher Limited grade to exude a feeling of luxury. Premium details continue to the dash of all grades, which are wrapped in a soft-touch material. A quiet cabin is achieved from the noisy outside world by soundproofing glass and wind-noise reduction.
Toyota added a hub like a table for storing smartphones with available wireless charging coupled with a transparent lid. The cabin also features accessible USB ports (A and C) to offer power in convenient locations.
The interior of the 2024 Toyota bZ4X is offered in Softex®/Fabric-trimmed in Black for the XLE grade, and options of Softex-trimmed in Black or Softex-trimmed in Light Gray for the Limited grade.
Electrified powertrain
The new 2024 bZ4X offers the off-road performance you’d expect from a capable SUV, coupled with a longer wheelbase and an expansive silhouette that offers a smooth and fun driving experience. It shares the same e-TNGA platform with the 2024 Lexus RZ.
Available in an option of Front-Wheel Drive or All-Wheel Drive (AWD), the all-electric bZ4X produces 201 horsepower for the FWB models and 214 horsepower for AWD models. The FWD grade attains 60 mph from 0 in 7.1 seconds, while the FWD model attains the same feat in 6.5 seconds.
Toyota engineers focused on features that help optimize energy saving and cruising range for year-round driving. The following systems and equipment were adopted to reduce energy consumption, especially power used for heating in cold climates:
- Heat pump system for both heating and air-conditioning
- Available Front-seat and steering wheel heaters
- Available Front-seat radiant foot-and-leg heater
All-wheel drive with X-Modes
All grades with AWD drivetrain can combine with X-MODE to offer an exhilarating, yet comfortable, driving experience suited for everyday driving and off-pavement exploration. Coupled with Multi-terrain Select, the new 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.
Vehicle stability and improved traction on bumpy or unpaved roads or certain snow-covered surfaces are enhanced when engaged in Snow/Dirt Mode with X-MODE. 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.
Another ingenious 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 during turns. This feature was developed as an added function to determine road surface characteristics and maintain a constant speed to prevent slipping on rough roads, allowing the driver to focus more on steering.
Charging
Standard across all grades is the J1772/CCS1 (Combined Charging System) connector, which allows for Level 3 DC fast charging as well as Level 1 and Level 2 AC charging. The 7.6 kW onboard charger allows the bZ4X to charge from low battery light to full in about 9.5 hours with a Level 2 charger at 240V under ideal conditions. Level 2 charging can add approximately 20 miles of range per hour of charge and can fully charge the battery when plugged in overnight.
Customer can also include a home charging system into the cost of their new vehicle purchase or lease, they will have the option to purchase a ChargePoint Home Flex Level 2 charger from participating Toyota dealerships or directly from ChargePoint online. ChargePoint Home Flex is ENERGY STAR® certified and Wi-Fi enabled, can be installed indoors or out, and comes with a 23-foot charging cable to support different parking configurations. Customers can also use resources like Qmerit to locate a certified EV charger installer.
Customers who purchase or lease the 2024 bZ4X will also get one year of complimentary charging on the EV Go charging network. Note that this package might not be available in your location.
Drive range
Starting with the XLE grade, the FWD model comes with an estimated range rating of up to 252 miles, while the AWD version comes with 228 miles. The Limited grade has an EPA-estimated range rating of up to 236 miles on the FWD model and up to 222 miles on the AWD model.

Driver Assist and Safety
The bZ4X features Toyota Safety Sense 3.0™ (TSS 3.0), Toyota’s latest suite of safety and driver assistance features. The goal of TSS is to help prevent or mitigate accidents and ease the burden on drivers. This system uses a combination of millimeter wave radar and a monocular camera to monitor various driving conditions. This standard suite of features includes a Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection and lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist. Full-Speed Range Dynamic Radar Cruise Control, Lane Tracing Assist, Automatic High Beams, Road Sign Assist, and Proactive Driving Assist.
Blind Spot Monitor with Rear Cross-Traffic Alert is standard on all grades. Safe Exit Assist is also standard on bZ4X. This system detects vehicles or cyclists approaching from the rear and judges if there is a possibility of a collision with an opened door or passengers who have exited. Safe Exit Assist will illuminate an indicator in the outer mirror and provide an audible alert to notify vehicle occupants.
Panoramic View Monitor with Perimeter Scan including 360-degree Overhead View in low-speed drive and reverse, and Curb View is available on the Limited grade. The engineering team strategically placed the TopMounted Meter right above the steering wheel to reduce the number of times the driver takes their eyes off the road.
In terms of battery safety, Toyota added many measures to help protect cell integrity, thanks to the design and a multiple monitoring system intended to protect the vehicle’s battery system.
This includes:
- A meticulous production process that helps reduce contamination of battery components to help bolster battery durability
- Redundant monitoring of battery voltage, current, and temperature designed to detect signs of abnormal heating to maintain optimal battery temperature and help prevent cell damage
- Utilization of a high-resistance coolant circulation system is designed to help prevent fire from short circuits even in high battery load conditions due to repeatedly switching between high-speed driving and rapid charging
- Integration of the high-capacity battery pack within the floor of the body frame structure is designed with protection in mind in the event of a collision
