The freshened 2026 bZ4X is renamed bZ with more power and longer range.The bZ4X SUV is Toyota's first ground-up EV. Sized like the RAV4, the front-wheel-drive bZ4X has a 201-hp motor, a 71.4-kilowatt-hour battery, and an EPA-estimated 252-mile range, while the all-wheel-drive version has 214 hp and a 72.8-kWh battery good for a 222-mile range. The range is short by current EV standards, and the car's 6.6-kilowatt onboard charger means home charging is on the slow side. A 100-kW DC fast-charging rate for the AWD model is also behind competitors. Otherwise, it's a functional SUV with agile handling and a decent ride but a rather spartan interior. Oddly, there is no glove box or rear wiper. It features the Safety Sense 3.0, which adds more advanced active safety and driver assist functions. The Subaru Solterra is essentially the same vehicle.
