Power And Technology Galore In The Toyota BZX4
The BZ4X Is Not Just A Pretty Face In The World Of Electric SUVs. It Comes In Two Versions: One With A 204-Horsepower Engine And The Other With Two Motors, Totaling 218 Horsepower.
And It Doesn’t Stop There: It Has A 71.4 kWh Battery That Promises A Range Of Up To 506 Km. And If You’re In A Hurry, It Recharges From 0 To 80% In Just 30 Minutes With A 150 kW Charger.
Warranty That Is A Show In Itself Of The New Electric SUV
Now, Hold On To This: Toyota Is Offering A 1 Million Kilometer Or 10-Year Warranty For The BZ4X Battery. This Is A Slap In The Face Of The Prejudice Against The Durability Of Electric Batteries.
And Even After All This Time, Toyota Guarantees That The Battery Will Still Have At Least 70% Of Its Original Capacity. Isn’t That Worth Taking Your Hat Off?
Price And Competition Like BMW, Volvo, And Peugeot
Speaking Of Money, The BZ4X Is Priced Around 130 Thousand Reais In China, But If It Comes To Brazil, The Price Is Likely To Be A Bit Higher, Estimating Around 270 To 280 Thousand Reais.
