Following revealing local pricing for the highly-anticipated new Land Cruiser FJ, which we’ve sampled for an exclusive first SA drive, and sixth-generation RAV4 – the former and latter scheduled to launch in SA soon – Toyota South Africa Motors (TSAM) has confirmed pricing for the bZ4X all-electric crossover/SUV.

The first Toyota-badged battery-electric vehicle (BEV) offered in SA, the bZ4X is exclusively available with a dual electric-motor powertrain – producing combined power and torque outputs of 255 kW and 439 N.m – in our market. According to the Japanese automaker, these figures allow the 2 110 kg (claimed) all-wheel-drive BEV to complete the 0-100 km/h sprint in 5.1 seconds. The top speed is rated at 160 km/h.

The bZ4X’s e-motors are fed by a 73.1 kWh battery pack, which serves up a claimed 480 km operating range on a single, full charge. The lithium-ion item supports DC fast charging of up to 150 kW; allowing for a 0-80% recharge in 29 minutes. Toyota claims an average energy consumption of 15.1 kWh/100 km.
