    The EV is priced starting at $46,515 CAD for 2025.

    The Toyota bZ4X EV gets no major changes for 2025, its third year on the market, unless you count a few upgrades in technology and standard equipment. The starting price (MSRP) for the compact SUV is set at $46,515 in Canada.

    2025 Toyota bZ4X – What’s new?

    The EV does get a new grade level for 2025. The bZ4X LE AWD is the base-level trim but with all-wheel drive added to the mix. Among its features are Toyota’s Drive Mode Select system and X-MODE (including Snow/Dirt, Deep Snow/Mud, and Grip Control modes), multi-terrain select system, downhill assist control and crawl mode.

    Other than that, the XLE models’ Technology packages get enhancements to some of their features. As well, Toyota Multimedia and Toyota Safety Sense 3.0 are now standard on all models.

    Design- and powertrain-wise, though, it’s status quo for 2025.

    Big discount in the U.S.
    As announced this week, American customers in certain large urban centres are being offered a hefty $10,000 discount on lease of the 2025 bZ4X, for orders placed by January 6, 2025. Topping that off is a 0-percent interest rate on financing; U.S. customers who get that financing from Toyota itself get another $2,500 discount to boot.

    However, Toyota Canada confirmed to Auto123 that it is not planning anything similar for our market, unfortunately.
