Toyota’s electrified lineup showed up big at the 2022 Electrify Expo in Long Beach, California. Toyota’s display features the all-new battery-electric 2023 bZ4X and the Tundra i-FORCE MAX hybrid, along with other Toyota plug-in hybrids and fuel cell electric models to explore.
Toyota’s all-new, battery-electric bZ4X is the first of 7 electric vehicles that will be introduced globally under the “Toyota bZ” brand moniker, with “bZ” standing for “Beyond Zero”. The sleek SUV comes in two grades in both front wheel drive (FWD) and all-wheel drive (AWD) with XLE FWD, obtaining an EPA- estimated range rating of up to 252 miles per charge.
The design theme of “hi-tech and emotional” shows through the bold exterior and wide, spacious interior with premium finishes. It comes loaded with intuitive tech features through a standard 12.3-inch widescreen Toyota Audio Multimedia system that offers interaction through touch and voice activation controls. The bZ4X also demonstrates first-in-class drivability with smooth acceleration, instant torque delivery and off-pavement capability on AWD models with X-mode®. The bZ4X is arriving in dealers now and starts at $42,000 for the XLE FWD model.
