When we drove one of the initial examples in the UK, we declared: “Toyota’s first electric car is a good one. It’s super-comfortable and has plenty of space inside, it’s well made and comes with plenty of tech. This is one of the most appealing new EVs you can buy.”
History
The bZ4X was unveiled in October 2021 and the first UK deliveries took place in June 2022. Three versions were offered: the front-wheel-drive Pure, while the Motion and Vision were available in front or all-wheel-drive forms. While front-wheel-drive models were rated at 201bhp and 265Nm of torque, all-wheel-drive editions had 214bhp and 336Nm; all cars were fitted with a 71.4kWh battery.

A facelifted bZ4X went on sale in November 2025 with the first examples delivered in January 2026. There was a new trim structure (Icon, Design, Excel) and the entry-level model was now equipped with a 57.7kWh battery, while the other models had a 73.1kWh item. A bigger (14-inch) touchscreen, recalibrated suspension, a redesigned nose and a longer range (up to 352 miles) were the other useful improvements.
The bZ4X Touring has just gone on sale; it’s a bigger car that’s 140mm longer and 20mm taller, but it still seats only five people.
Which one should I buy?
Facelifted cars are better to drive, they have a longer range and come with improved infotainment, but they’re priced from £30k for a 3,000-mile Design on a 75-plate. If you can afford one of these, we’d recommend going for it, although you’ll lose more in depreciation over the next couple of years.
Pure editions are relatively basic, but they do have a rear camera, an eight-inch touchscreen, adaptive cruise control, plus Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Motion adds a 12.3-inch touchscreen, front and rear parking sensors with auto braking, wireless phone charging, a 360-degree camera, heated front seats, a powered tailgate, synthetic leather trim and privacy glass. Finally, the Vision brings a heated steering wheel, ventilated front seats and parking assist.
On the road
You’re unlikely to buy an electric SUV for driving thrills, so you won’t be disappointed by the so-so dynamics of the bZ4X. However, facelifted cars are noticeably more enjoyable to drive thanks to their retuned suspension.
