Toyota has updated its bZ4X electric SUV for 2025 with new batteries, more powerful motors, and faster charging capabilities.
The company’s first all-electric model, on sale since 2022, will receive significant technical improvements to address range, performance and pricing concerns that have followed the vehicle since launch.
A new 57.7kWh battery joins the lineup, creating a lower-priced entry point to the range. This smaller battery will be paired exclusively with a 165bhp front-wheel drive motor configuration.
The existing 71.4kWh battery has been slightly reconfigured to 71.3kWh and receives substantial power upgrades. Front-wheel drive models now produce 221bhp, up from 201bhp. The all-wheel drive variant jumps dramatically from 215bhp to 338bhp — matching the output of Toyota’s new C-HR+ EV.
Range improves significantly with the 2025 model. Toyota claims the most efficient configuration will deliver 356 miles on a single charge — nearly 40 miles more than the current version.
While maximum charging speed remains at 150kW, battery improvements and the addition of pre-conditioning functionality have reduced charging times.
The all-wheel drive bZ4X doubles its towing capacity to 1,500kg.
All versions benefit from revised suspension tuning and bodywork changes designed to reduce cabin noise and vibration.
Exterior styling receives subtle updates with a sleeker front end that improves aerodynamics. Inside, Toyota has installed a redesigned instrument cluster and center console featuring more premium materials and twin wireless phone chargers.
A new 14-inch infotainment system with integrated heating controls — appearing borrowed from Toyota’s luxury brand Lexus — dominates the dashboard.
The 2025 Toyota bZ4X will arrive in showrooms this summer. UK pricing and detailed specifications will be announced closer to the launch date.
