2023 Toyota bZ4X Gets Toyota into the EV Game

12 Apr 2022 | Abstracted from Car and Driver

"...the dual-motor bZ4X adds just 13 ponies, for a total of 214 horsepower. That stands in stark contrast to the similarly configured versions of the ID.4 (295 horsepower), the Hyundai Ioniq 5 and Kia EV6 (320 horsepower), and the Polestar 2 (408 horsepower).

"The two bZ4X models have nearly identical battery sizes of 63.4 kWh (in the single-motor version) and 65.6 kWh (in the dual motor). Their EPA range estimates are adequate but not class leading: 242/252 miles (Limited/XLE) for the front-drive version and slightly lower for the all-wheel-drive model at 222/228 miles."
