The engine

Dual-Motor Electric

Dual-Motor Electric AWD

Two electric motors split front and rear for all-wheel grip and brisk, quiet, linear acceleration, tuned more for easygoing usability than outright sportiness.

The bZ4X is the first model in Toyota's 'bZ' (Beyond Zero) EV sub-brand, built on the dedicated e-TNGA platform that Toyota co-developed with Subaru, which builds the closely related Solterra.
