2023 Toyota bZ4X Price Starts At $43,215, Nears $50K In Limited Trim

It reaches dealerships in the spring with an EPA-estimated range of 252 miles.

In November 2021, Toyota unveiled its first all-electric SUV. The bZ4X, despite its odd name, promises modest performance and range, as well as five-passenger seating and a slew of electronics. It will go on sale later this spring, and Toyota is finally ready to reveal price.

The base price for the 2023 bZ4X is $42,000, but it doesn’t include a $1,215 destination and delivery fee. That brings the total out-of-the-door price to $43,215 for an XLE trim level with only the front wheels rotating. On the other end of the spectrum, there’s the bZ4X Limited with all-wheel drive, which serves as the line’s flagship. That’ll cost you $49,995, which is technically under $50,000. That is, of course, before any alternatives are added.

It’s worth noting that Toyota’s new AWD horsepower figure is a single pony lower than when the bZ4X was unveiled last year. Straight-line performance is identical across the bZ4X series, thanks to similar power outputs. According to Toyota, the AWD bZ4X accelerates to 60 mph in 6.5 seconds, compared to 7.1 seconds with FWD. It isn’t exactly setting the world on fire in terms of performance, but it is more than capable of getting the job done.
