It has taken a while, but the bZ4X is finally available to the masses here in Singapore. This is Toyota\u2019s first-ever BEV (battery electric vehicle) and it\u2019s a compact SUV designed to go up against the likes of the Tesla Model Y, Hyundai Ioniq 5, and more.<\/p>\n
Those who have been following Toyota closely will know that the bZ4X was first unveiled in 2022, and that version was only available in Singapore as part of a car-sharing program. This new facelift version changes that and will be available to purchase.<\/p>\n
To start, the bZ4X is powered by a single motor producing 223hp and 268nm<\/b>. It only drives the front wheel, and Toyota claims a century sprint time of 7.4 seconds. This also means it\u2019ll need a Cat B COE and that its road tax will set you back S$1,895 a year.<\/p>\n The infotainment display is 14-inches and the car features a multi-function steering wheel.<\/p>\n Photo: Toyota<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n The battery capacity is 73.1kWh and Toyota claims a range of 478km<\/b>. It supports 150kW DC charging, which means it charges its battery from 10% to 80% in around 28 minutes. <\/p>\n Inside, there\u2019s a sizeable 14-inch touchscreen infotainment display, which is paired with a 7-inch digital instrument cluster. Passengers will be happy to know there\u2019s a large panoramic sunroof with an electric sunshade. The centre console features two wireless charging pads, and the seats have leatherette upholstery.<\/p>\n The bZ4X features Toyota Safety Sense 3.0<\/b>, which means safety features like pre-collision detection, adaptive cruise, lane assist, blind spot monitoring, and more. It also has eight airbags and 360-degree cameras.<\/p>\n The Toyota bZ4X will face stiff competition from the likes of Tesla, BYD, Xpeng, and more.<\/p>\n Photo: Toyota<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n The Toyota bZ4X is available now, and prices start at S$214,888<\/b> (inclusive of COE).<\/p>\n Note:<\/i><\/b> Prices are correct at the time of publishing and could change depending on the COE.<\/i><\/p>\n<\/div>\nAvailability and pricing<\/h2>\n
