You have asked me to review some more alternatives to the Tesla Model Y, and the one from Toyota is the 2025 Toyota BZ4X. What does it offer? I will tell everything you need to know right now. Let’s go!
Exterior Updates
Toyota has made lots of changes in 2025 Toyota BZ4X, Front design is changes with gray color and has better aerodynamics for better efficiency and range.Toyota has also updated the acoustics, focusing on NVH (noise, vibration, and harshness) to make the interior quieter. 2025 Toyota BZ4X now comes with wheels ranging from 18 to 20 inches, with the larger 20-inch wheels featured here.
Toyota has made 2025 Toyota BZ4X their largest EV with 4.69 meters (185 inches) in length. If you compare it with Toyota CH-R+ (an EV version of the CH-R) and the Toyota Urban Cruiser the 2025 BZ4X looks much longer.
Battery and Performance Enhancements
The BZ4X now offers upgraded batteries with two options: 73 kWh or 58 kWh (gross capacity). Toyota has increased battery size by 5 kWh slightly improving range.
Toyota has also worked on acceleration, Now all-wheel-drive version now delivers 343 horsepower, accelerating from 0 to 100 km/h (0 to 62 mph) in 5.2 seconds with top speed remaining same at 160 km/h (100 mph).
Modern Rear Design and Boot Space
The rear of the BZ4X features a modern light strip running across the width of the vehicle. The boot offers 450 liters of space and includes an electric hatch.
There’s additional storage beneath the boot floor for cables. The seats can be folded directly from the boot for added convenience. Compared to smaller Toyota EVs, the BZ4X provides significantly more luggage capacity. This model also offers an optional JBL sound system for enhanced audio quality.
Interior Upgrades
Infotainment and Controls
The cockpit has seen some notable upgrades. New 2025 Toyota BZ4X now features a larger 14-inch display which has mix of digital and haptic controls. While the car was in showroom mode during the demonstration, the screen typically displays temperature controls and other settings.
Seating
High-grade leatherette is what i like about 2025 Toyota BZX4s seats, I am 6 ft tall and felt sufficient headroom in front as well as back. Panoramic sunroof enhances overall feel at rear seats but unfortunately you cannot open it.
The middle console includes two inductive charging pads (not ventilated), which could lead to overheating in warmer months.
Practical Features
The 2025 BZ4X still has physical buttons for key functions, such as climate control, but integrates them into the digital interface. I personally like sporty steering wheel with physical buttons gives a satisfying satisfying.
Rear Seating and Comfort
I felt 2025 Toyota BZ4Xs rear seat spacious with enough legroom for 6 ft tall passengers. Due to battery placement there is high floor design but you know what you don’t feel that here because of its higher stance.
Great news is that now rear seats also get high-grade leatherette, plus adjustable seatback angles allow for a relaxed or upright position.
Additional rear features include:
- Two USB-C chargers
- Rear seat heating
- Foldable armrest with cup holders and storage slots
Trunk Measurements and Practicality
The trunk is highly practical, accommodating a cabin trolley vertically under the cover. Key measurements include:
- Length: 1 meter (40 inches)
- Width: 1 meter (40 inches)
- Height: 77 cm (30 inches)
- Folded seat length: 1.9 meters (75 inches)
The all-wheel-drive version’s towing capacity has been doubled from 750 kg to 1.5 tons, adding to its practicality.
Charging and Range
The BZ4X now supports preheating for the battery and improved route calculation for charging stops. 2025 Toyota BZ4X offers AC charger (22 kW, up from 11 kW) and retains DC fast charging at 150 kW. It takes approximately charging 10% to 80% in 30 minutes.
The estimated range with the larger battery is around 400 km (250 miles) under good conditions, though winter driving may reduce this. A heat pump is available as an option to improve efficiency in colder climates.
