While the 2024 version came as the LE in front-wheel drive (FWD) and the XLE in all-wheel drive (AWD), the new LE AWD trim slides in between them.
The 2025 XLE AWD model now receives a steering wheel touch-sensor system, front cross-traffic alert, and lane change assist; and its Technology Package now includes traffic jam assist, using adaptive cruise control at stop-and-go speeds.
Seating up to five passengers, the bZ4X – a number-and-letter salad that we at Driving remember by thinking of “busy forest” – has a single electric motor in the FWD model, making 201 horsepower and 196 lb-ft of torque, and with a range of up to 406 km.
The AWD trims add a second rear electric motor, with a combined rating of 214 horsepower and 248 lb-ft of torque, with a range of up to 367 km.
Standard features on the LE models include a 12.3-inch touchscreen with Toyota Multimedia operating system, heated front seats with radiant foot and leg warmer, dual-zone climate control, and heated steering wheel. Driver-assist technologies include emergency front braking, adaptive cruise control, lane-keep assist, safe exit assist, and blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert.
The XLE AWD adds faux-leather upholstery trim, auto-dimming mirror, panoramic sunroof, garage door opener, rear-seat charging ports, cargo cover, and rear cross-traffic braking. Its available Technology Package further adds 20-inch wheels, connectivity services, premium audio, full leather-look upholstery, heated and ventilated front seats, hands-free liftgate, roof rails, panoramic view monitor, advanced parking system, and digital key, plus the new traffic jam assist.
