THE 2023 TOYOTA BZ4X LIMITED IS A LIKABLE FULLY ELECTRIC FAMILY SUV

EV Channels Review

The 2023 Toyota bZ4X Limited is presented as a likable, fully electric family SUV, built on a platform co-developed with Subaru. The reviewer highlights its futuristic styling, distinguishing it from its Subaru counterpart, and praises its spacious interior, particularly the generous rear legroom. While the base XLE trim offers better range, the Limited trim's 20-inch wheels are noted to slightly reduce it. The reviewer is impressed by the driving dynamics, finding the bZ4X more engaging and refined than expected, especially compared to the Volkswagen ID.4 and competitive with the Hyundai Ioniq 5 and Kia EV6, despite slower charging speeds. Key drawbacks include the lack of a frunk, no rear wiper, and the absence of memory seats and a digital rearview mirror on this Limited trim, which are present on the Subaru Solterra. The reviewer concludes that the bZ4X drives significantly better than its specifications suggest, offering a comfortable, quiet, and spacious experience that Toyota loyalists will appreciate.
