While winter was still around, we wanted to test out the front-wheel drive LE version of the Toyota bZ4X, which is the entry-level trim of the electric SUV, and priced at $53,025. Our aim was to test the performance of this base model in a winter environment, not least because it's a front-wheel-drive proposition and we wanted to evaluate how it performed on snow and ice.
Finally, reduced range in colder temperatures is a critical issue for any electric vehicle. Testing this version was the perfect opportunity to measure the impact under real-life conditions, compiling valuable data on the bZ4X's energy efficiency and battery management.Take note that the model is returning unchanged for 2024 save a few minor details, so that our test drive, carried out on a 2023 model, is just as relevant for this year’s edition.

But beyond that, it was Toyota's regenerative braking system that caught our attention. Although it doesn't bring the vehicle to a complete stop, it makes deceleration much easier, a significant advantage for modulating speed in traffic without constantly using the brake pedal.
This way of decelerating, which is more subtle when compared with traditional braking, ensures a smooth slowdown that is particularly advantageous on slippery surfaces.
