2023 TOYOTA BZ4X XLE AWD

EV Channels Review

The 2023 Toyota bz4x XLE AWD is presented as an attainable entry into the EV market, priced significantly below the average EV cost at $45,684. The reviewer highlights its smooth ride, comfortable interior with soft-touch materials, and the practical floating center console. Key features include a 12.3-inch infotainment system with over-the-air updates, wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, and Subaru's signature X-Mode for enhanced traction. However, the primary drawback identified is the limited 228-mile range for the AWD model, which is considered low compared to competitors. The reviewer also notes the absence of heated seats, a heated steering wheel, and ventilated seats in this XLE trim, which could be a concern in certain climates. While the vehicle is praised for its everyday usability and affordability, the reviewer suggests that improving the all-wheel-drive range to around 250 miles would significantly enhance its appeal to a broader audience.
