bZ4X Touring AWD 74.7 kWh (MY26)

The Toyota bZ4X Touring AWD 74.7 kWh (MY26) is a 5-seat SUV with all-wheel drive, on sale in the UK from £51,695. It accelerates from 0 to 62 mph in 4.5 seconds, quicker than 79% of the electric cars on sale in the UK. Its estimated real-world range is 239 miles (385 km) in a mix of town, country and motorway driving. That is longer than 41% of the 471 electric cars on sale in the UK, and 149th of 242 SUVs.

It uses around 3.4 mi/kWh (184 Wh/km), about the same as the typical EV on sale (3.5 mi/kWh). The usable battery holds 71 kWh and on a rapid charger it averages 110 kW between 10% and 80%. With one 15-minute charging stop, it can cover an estimated 260 miles (419 km) at motorway speeds.

It has a heat pump, which helps preserve range in cold weather, and it supports vehicle-to-load (V2L), so it can power appliances from its battery. The battery uses NCM chemistry, which stores more energy for its weight than LFP.

Its UK starting price works out at £216 per mile of real-world range, higher than the median for SUVs (£186 per mile).
