What Do You Want To Know About The Toyota bZ4X?
What Do You Want To Know About The Toyota bZ4X?-October 2024

Image for article titled What Do You Want To Know About The Toyota bZ4X?

It’s the crossover whose name I have to Google every time I try to tell someone what I’m about to take for a spin: It’s the , and I’m heading out to California at the start of next week to put this new electric vehicle through its paces. What do you want to know?

This crossover was announced in November of last year to some mixed reviews. The “bZ” in its name stands for “beyond zero,” meaning that the EV hopes to be more than just carbon neutral but actively good for the environment, and that moniker is apparently going to be used more frequently in Toyota’s upcoming electric lineup.

:

The 250-mile bZ4X range is for the XLE front-wheel drive version with one motor; there will also be a two-motor all-wheel-drive version. Toyota did not release a range figure for that one, and it didn’t give pricing for either. The bZ4X will get here in “mid-2022.” I would expect range to be shorter for the AWD version, and the price to be $40,000 or so, or probably something like $39,999. In total, Toyota says it will have 70 “electrified” models by 2025, which includes hydrogen, all-electric, hybrid, and plug-in hybrid cars. Seven of those will be bZ.

The bZ4X is set to compete with other crossovers, like the Volkswagen ID.4, the Chevrolet Bolt EUV, and the Nissan Ariya — though how it compares drive-wise remains to be seen. I’m going to find that out next Tuesday.

But what do you, the fine readers of Jalopnik, want to know? Are you interested in comparisons to other brands? Do you want me to press Toyota about its naming systems? Do you want a better breakdown of the new systems being introduced on this vehicle, like the X-MODE AWD version? Let me know in the comments, and I’ll be happy to provide.

At $7,999, Could This 2002 Lincoln Blackwood Be The Best Deal In Form Over Function?
Today’s Lincoln Blackwood is one of only 3,356 built over the course of its single model year. While there’s strength in numbers, when it comes to rare cars there’s greater strength in smaller numbers. Let’s see if the numbers in this Lincoln’s price are small enough. I was at the...

The 2018 Volvo XC40 Is Full Of Genius Little Touches To Make Life Easier
For the longest time, a small SUV has been a fashion statement. “You’re not worthless,” they shouted. “You’ve amounted to something.” “Your parents aren’t ashamed of you.” That’s because you moved to the suburbs, got a house, and the small SUV. The seems to be the first one made for...

It’s rare for a show car to make it to production relatively unchanged. It’s even more rare when one does so looking like today’s Alfa S.Z.. Let’s see if this former show car has you wanting to show it some love. Colin Chapman famously averred that the single best route...

At $5,200, Could You Top This 2004 Audi S4?
The benefit of a convertible like today’s S4 is its adaptability to the weather. That’s not the case with this one though, as the top mechanism is said to not function. Let’s find out if it might then still come with a functional price. Fancified pickup trucks have been a...

Car Dealers Are Using Electronic Loan Contracts To Scam Buyers Into Horrible Situations
One day last December, Tanisha Coley visited a Kia dealership in Stamford, Connecticut and filled out a computer-based credit application to figure out what kind of car she could afford. Soon after, she left without buying a vehicle, but ended up more than $17,000 in debt anyway. Weeks later, Coley...
