Toyota bZ4X
150 kW electric FWD automatic
The new Toyota bZ4X is the Japanese manufacturer's first full electric vehicle. It is a mid-sized SUV with a maximum power of 150 kW and an officially declared usable battery capacity of 64 kWh. Tested here is the high-end trim version with an empty vehicle mass of 1,967 kg. In Green NCAP's testing, Toyota had to show whether all their experience with hybrid-electric vehicles pays off with BEVs. The measured test consumption values are creditable and the vehicle shows good comfort for the passengers in cold and warm environment in its default driving mode. Heating is provided by a high voltage heater and a heat pump. For the battery capacity test the vehicle was charged with 11 kW charging power. 63.3 kWh were measured as the usable battery capacity, which corresponds well to the advertised figure. The full battery recharge takes 70.0 kWh from the electricity grid, which results in a good grid-to-battery output efficiency of 90.4%, a value slightly above the average of Green NCAP's tested EV fleet. Overall, the Toyota bZ4X finishes with an Average Score of 97%, easily collects all 5 Green Stars and proves that Toyota can also build energy efficient EVs.
