Toyota's reliability promise, now fully electric
The 2024 Toyota bZ4X is Toyota's first purpose-built battery-electric vehicle, built on the e-TNGA platform co-developed with Subaru. For Toyota loyalists making the EV transition, the bZ4X offers a familiar proposition: simple operation, exceptional reliability, and a 5-year battery capacity guarantee that Toyota backs with actual numbers (70% capacity retained). The FWD version delivers 252 miles of range; the dual-motor AWD adds genuine winter capability. It's not the most exciting EV available, but it's likely the one that will require the least attention over 10 years of ownership — which for many buyers is the more important spec.
201 hp starting at $42,000 is exceptional value.
