2023 Toyota bZ4X – 500 km range EV in Malaysia soon – paultan.org
Toyota has been a firm believer in multiple pathways towards carbon neutrality, which includes battery-electric vehicles. For the latter, the bZ4X is the Japanese manufacturer’s first mass-market BEV, which is undergoing local testing prior to its official Malaysian market introduction later this year.
In Malaysia, the bZ4X gets a 71.4 kWh lithium-ion battery pack that offers the EV a range of up to 500 km based on the WLTP testing standard, and feeds a front-mounted electric motor producing 204 PS and 266 Nm of torque; this is the same as the configuration employed in the Indonesian-market bZ4X.
Charging the bZ4X is supported by AC at up to 6.6 kW, while DC fast charging at up to 150 kW is via a CCS2 connection, which will bring a 0-80% state of charge in 30 minutes. In Thailand, the bZ4X is also available in dual-motor AWD form, where it gains a rear-axle motor to bring increased outputs of 218 PS and 337 Nm.
On the outside, this bZ4X is outfitted with LED lighting, 20-inch alloy wheels and a powered tailgate, while interior appointments include a seven-inch digital instrument cluster, a 12.3-inch infotainment touchscreen, wireless phone charger, synthetic leather upholstery, front dashcam, power-adjustable driver’s seat and dual-zone climate control, among others.
Here, our man Hafriz Shah takes an up-close look at the bZ4X, along with a stint at the wheel for some driving impressions and what it feels like compared to some of the entrants already on sale in the Malaysian market. Watch the video, here.
