Toyota bZ4X 2026 review Australia: Should this updated Tesla Model Y EV rival be taken seriously?
The 2026 Toyota bZ4X is Toyota’s all-electric mid-size SUV, and in this full review CarsGuide Production Editor Jack Quick takes a detailed look at what its updated AWD flagship offers Australian buyers. The video covers the local line-up and pricing, the revised exterior and interior design, and how the bZ4X fits into Toyota’s growing EV range.
Jack steps through cabin layout, screen tech, safety systems and available features, as well as rear-seat space, boot capacity and everyday usability. Key mechanical details are explained, including the dual-motor all-wheel-drive setup, battery capacity, charging capability and claimed driving range for Australia.
On the road, the review focuses on ride comfort, steering, performance and refinement in typical Australian conditions, along with ownership considerations such as efficiency and value. The bZ4X is also placed against key rivals like the Tesla Model Y, Hyundai Ioniq 5 and Kia EV6 to show where it sits in the electric SUV segment.
