Toyota has announced upgrades to its all-electric bZ4X for 2025, including a new mid-range trim level. The bZ4X, also the basis of the Subaru Solterra, is currently sold only in British Columbia and Quebec.
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.
Pricing for the 2025 bZ4X starts at $46,515 for the LE FWD; $47,016 for the new LE AWD; $51,845 for the XLE AWD; and the Technology Package takes it to $59,830. The vehicle is eligible for provincial “green” vehicle rebates in B.C. and Quebec, as well as the federal rebate.
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.
While Subaru hasn’t yet announced any changes to the Solterra for 2025, the 2024 version comes only in AWD, and in a basic trim but with available Luxury Package or Technology Package options.
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.
