The Toyota bZ4X has the most awkward name of any car available today. Regardless of what is stands for what you need to know is that the bZ4X is an all-electric car from Toyota that rides on their new electric architecture. You’re going to be hearing a lot about bZ cars in the future. This one comes in either FWD or AWD (AWD 214 hp 248 lb-ft torque FWD 201 hp 196 lb-ft torque) and can get up to 228 miles of range with the latter. It doesn’t lack pizazz in the driving category and feels quick and energetic. The brakes aren’t true one-pedal, but they do have a regen function. The interior is true Toyota functionality with all the safety and Smartphone connectivity you’d expect. The exterior looks as odd as the name with the cladding we’ll call “interesting” on the front fenders. It looks like it’s all masked up with somewhere to go. There are other EV crossovers out there with more personality out there now, but if you’re a brand loyalist then the bZ4X will be a comfortable place to start.
