TOYOTA BZ4X AWD HIGHWAY RANGE TEST

EV Channels Review

The Toyota bZ4X AWD Limited faces a significant hurdle in its charging performance, which the reviewer highlights as its biggest drawback. Despite a comfortable ride, quiet cabin, and capable all-wheel-drive system, the extremely slow charging speeds, especially at higher states of charge, make long-distance travel or quick top-ups impractical. The reviewer notes that a full charge can take over five hours and that the car has a substantial buffer at the bottom of the battery, allowing for extended driving past 0% but also indicating a lack of precise state-of-charge information. While the car is deemed adequate for around-town driving and charging at home, its limitations in fast charging make it a questionable choice for its price point compared to competitors like the ID.4, Ioniq 5, or Model Y, especially for those who might need to road trip.
