Toyota Australia has announced a comprehensive upgrade to the bZ4X, and the changes are impressive. More power, extended range, faster charging, and a refreshed design inside and out.
The upgraded bZ4X delivers meaningful performance improvements across the range. The front-wheel drive model now produces 165kW, up from 150kW. The all-wheel drive variant sees an even more significant jump, rising from 160kW to 252kW. That 92kW increase translates to real-world improvements, with the AWD model now reaching 100km/h in just 5.1 seconds.
Range has been one of the biggest considerations for anyone thinking about an electric vehicle. The upgraded bZ4X features a new, larger 74.7kWh battery pack. The 2WD model now offers up to 591km of driving range, up from the previous 411km. That kind of range makes the bZ4X a genuine option for daily commutes, weekend getaways, and everything in between.
Charging speed matters, and Toyota has made improvements here too. Maximum AC charging speed has doubled from 11kW to 22kW, meaning less time plugged in and more time on the road. DC fast charging times have also improved thanks to better battery thermal management.
Inside, a new 14-inch touchscreen replaces the previous 12.3-inch unit, offering a more intuitive interface. New standard features include paddle shifters, two wireless phone chargers, a heated steering wheel, and a hands-free power tailgate.
Safety has also been upgraded with blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, safe exit assist, and a surround-view camera now standard across the range.
The exterior has been refreshed with Toyota's hammerhead design language at the front, gloss black accents, and new alloy wheels. The 2WD model wears 18-inch alloys while the AWD gets 20-inch wheels. It's a more refined look that reflects the premium positioning of the vehicle.
