If you’re ready to go electric, the 2025 Toyota bZ4X should be at the top of your list. Toyota offers its crossover SUV in three distinct trim configurations to help drivers tailor their ride to their needs. Read on for the lowdown on the XLE, Nightshade, and Limited.

1. XLE
The lineup begins with the XLE, an electric vehicle that makes 201 horsepower and 196 pound-feet of torque, and offers a 252-mile range thanks to its single-motor electric propulsion system. Toyota’s entry-level bZ4X also sets the range up for success with its sleek design. The hammerhead-inspired hood leads down to bi-LED projector headlights and LED daytime running lights. The 18-inch alloy wheels and ducktail rear spoiler hint at the athleticism of this crossover SUV.
Inside, Toyota uses premium materials to make the dashboard and center console soft to the touch. SofTex and fabric line the seating, including the eight-way power-adjustable driver’s seat. Drivers view gauges, warning messages, and charging info on a seven-inch LCD. Entertainment comes courtesy of Toyota’s Audio Multimedia system, which gives you a six-speaker sound system and a 12.3-inch infotainment touchscreen with wireless smartphone connectivity and 4G Wi-Fi hotspot capability.
2. Nightshade
Next is the Nightshade, the only bZ4X that comes with an extra electric motor, making it all-wheel drive as standard. Although this additional power increases the output to 214 ponies and 248 pound-feet of torque, it does affect the range. However, drivers can still expect to achieve a very respectable 222 miles on a single charge.
This trim is also the sportiest-looking vehicle in the lineup, as it gains black 20-inch multi-spoke wheels, black badging, and a black split-roof spoiler. The sporty touches continue inside, with the black seats now finished with red contrast stitching. A comfort boost introduces heated front seats and a heated steering wheel.
3. Limited
Although the Limited loses the sporty styling of the Nightshade, it builds in terms of luxury and convenience. Instead of dark accents, Toyota’s top trim boasts a chrome finish on the windows and grille. Multi-LED headlights better illuminate the road ahead, while the new hands-free liftgate allows you to access the trunk with just a foot gesture.
SofTex now lines the cabin, and front passengers can cool themselves down using the ventilation function on their seats. Drivers receive an auto-dimming rearview mirror to reduce glare at night. A surround view monitor provides a bird’s-eye view of the vehicle when reversing and traveling at low speeds.
