The axis is lowered toward the tires to create a dynamically flowing silhouette that takes full advantage of the long wheelbase. The Toyota hammerhead design, which consists of long, thin signature Daytime Running Lights that seamlessly blend with the hood. The result is an aero-dynamic appearance, with the curved shape of the front bumper. From the rear, bZ4X exudes a powerful stance, thanks to its “interlocked” trapezoidal design between the rear lamps, back door and bumper. Eyes are drawn to the corners and taillamps. The low hood height provides superior, forward driver visibility and the ducktail spoiler and lower diffusers offer aerodynamic performance.

INTERIO SPACE DESIGNED FOR COMFORT AND CARGO FUNCTIONALITY
The bZ4X cockpit embodies a new generation of mobility with a design that helps the driver keep their eyes on the road and their hands on the wheel. Thanks to the BEV-dedicated platform, the engineering team achieved an extra wide interior cabin that results in a spacious, quiet and relaxing space.

ELECTRIFIED POWERTRAIN, ELECTRIFYING PERFORMANCE
Thanks to the e-TNGA dedicated platform, driving the bZ4X is fun and engaging. Due largely in part to the maximum torque available at the first RPM. No torque ramp-up, no power bands – just throw-you-in-the-back-of-your-seat power.

Offered in both Front-Wheel Drive (FWD) and All-Wheel Drive (AWD), the all-electric bZ4X produces a horsepower rating of 201 for FWD and a horsepower rating of 214 for AWD. And with an estimated 0-60 acceleration time of 7.1 seconds for FWD and 6.5 seconds for AWD, the bZ4X offers instantaneous torque.​

In addition to aerodynamic design choices and body weight reduction efforts, the following systems and equipment were adopted to reduce energy consumption, especially power used for heating in cold climates:
- Heat pump system for both heating and air-conditioning
- Available Front-seat and steering wheel heaters
- Available Front-seat radiant foot-and-leg heater

AVAILABLE AWD WITH X-MODE®
Coupled with Multi-terrain Select, the new AWD system with X-MODE can be used in two modes (Snow/Dirt and Deep Snow/Mud) to tackle slippery or uneven surfaces. In both modes, the system applies the brakes on spinning wheels to produce a limited-slip differential (LSD) effect for additional traction.

> Snow/Dirt Mode with X-MODE
Enhance vehicle stability and improve traction on bumpy or unpaved roads or certain snow-covered surfaces.
> Deep Snow/Mud Mode
Helps to tackle softer road surfaces covered by heavy snow. In downhill situations, the driver require to apply heavy braking, Downhill Assist Control to helps maintain a constant speed.
> Grip-Control
This feature was developed as an added function to determine road surface characteristics and maintain a constant speed to prevent slipping on rough roads, allowing the driver to focus more on steering.
