bZ4X Pure. Best if you want the longest range and the most efficient daily commuter. It offers a WLTP tested range of up to 591 km², making it ideal for city driving and longer highway trips. 

bZ4X Motion. Great if you often drive on wet roads, gravel, or uneven terrain. Its true AWD capability gives you more confidence in varied NZ conditions. 

bZ4X Touring. If you want maximum capability and versatility, with AWD traction plus enhanced space, features, and comfort for active Kiwi lifestyles. It’s designed for everything from rural roads to alpine access routes. 

² You should not expect that the exact driving range figures will be achieved in real world driving conditions. Driving range is based on tests under controlled conditions and is provided for comparison purposes. Actual results will vary depending on factors such as vehicle usage and operating conditions such as weather, vehicle loading, towing, road type, elevation changes, and driving style for example.

Test drives for the bZ4X Pure FWD and bZ4X Motion AWD models are expected early 2026, with the bZ4X Touring AWD available mid 2026. Register your interest with your local Toyota Store and they’ll let you know as soon as bookings open.

Using a 150kW public DC fast charger, all bZ4X models can charge from around 10 to 80% in as little as 28 minutes.⁴

Yes, best practice is to charge at home overnight using a dedicated home charger. Treat your bZ4X like a cellphone and charge it every night, that way you will have a full charge any time the adventure starts. Many New Zealand electricity providers offer EV night-rate power plans, which give cheaper rates during off-peak hours. Charging overnight can significantly reduce your daily running costs compared to petrol. 

Since April 2024, all light EVs in New Zealand pay RUCs. Even with RUCs, EVs can cost less per kilometre to run when you combine EV power plans and reduced servicing requirements.

The updated Toyota Safety Sense¹ suite includes a Driver Monitor Camera, as well as the existing features designed to help keep you safe: Pre-Collision System, Dynamic Radar Cruise Control, Lane Departure Alert, Lane Tracing Assist, Adaptive High Beam System and Road Sign Assist.

Every variant benefits from a larger 14" display, cleaner dash and console layout, upgraded multi colour ambient lighting, and refined seating materials. The bZ4X Touring and Motion come with the additional comfort of heated and ventilated seats.

It reflects how much power the motors can deliver. The bZ4X Pure’s 167kW provides smooth, confident acceleration for daily driving, while the bZ4X Motion’s 255kW and the bZ4X Touring’s 280kW deliver stronger, more exhilarating acceleration.

Range can vary significantly based on a number of factors. All bZ4X models and grades utilise the same battery. The bZ4X Pure uses a single motor while Motion and Touring utilise higher output dual motor-systems. Other factors such as wheel size, tyre model, towing capacity, weight, and aerodynamic efficiency all impact achievable range.²

Most modern electric EV batteries last around 10–15 years, and many can continue performing well for up to 20 years, depending on how they’re used and maintained.

Toyota offers Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV) battery capacity warranty coverage for 8 years or 160,000km whichever comes first under normal operating conditions. The BEV battery warranty protects against abnormal loss of capacity, providing for a minimum of 70% of original BEV battery capacity. Terms, conditions and exclusions apply.

A hybrid vehicle uses both a petrol engine and an electric motor. It can drive short distances at low speeds on electricity, but the petrol engine takes over as speed increases. The battery charges itself while you drive, no plugging in required.

An electric vehicle (EV) runs only on electricity. It uses no petrol, produces no exhaust emissions, and must be plugged in to recharge. EVs are quieter and require less maintenance but generally have a shorter driving range than hybrids, however it is easy to stop and top up the battery on longer drives.

bZ4X Pure: 591 km² on a single charge. 

bZ4X Motion: 517 km² on a single charge. 

bZ4X Motion: 488 km² on a single charge.

*WLTP stands for Worldwide Harmonised Light Vehicles Test Procedure. It’s a lab-based test that sets the global standard for measuring: Fuel consumption, CO₂ emissions, Pollutant emissions, Driving range for electric vehicles (EVs). It’s a standard that helps you compare electric vehicles fairly and get a better sense of their fuel economy and EV range.

Yes. EVs have fewer moving parts and need less servicing, so maintenance costs are generally lower.

There’s over 1,300 public fast chargers across New Zealand and charger networks like, ChargeNet, Z Energy, and BP make them easy to find.
