According to Toyota, the meaning of the "bZ4X" nameplate breaks down into:

• "bZ": for "beyond Zero" emissions, representing the nature of a battery-electric vehicle by going "beyond Zero" emissions,
• "4": from the equivalent-sized Toyota RAV4 and the
• "X": describing it as a compact crossover ('X') SUV.{{cite news |url=https://insideevs.com/news/500744/toyota-bz4x-electric-crossover-rav4/ |title=Toyota BZ4X Is The Name For Automaker's New Electric Crossover |first=Gustavo Henrique |last=Ruffo |work=InsideEVs |location=US |date=2021-04-13 |access-date=2021-12-28}}{{cite news |url=https://www.hotcars.com/heres-everything-we-love-about-the-new-toyota-bz4x-ev/ |title=Here's Everything We Love About The New Toyota bZ4X EV |first=Michael |last=De Kock |work=HotCars |location=Canada |date=2021-11-22 |access-date=2021-12-28}}

The total length {{cvt|4690|mm}} is comparable to a RAV4 (XA50), but the wheelbase of {{cvt|2850|mm}} is similar to that of the Land Cruiser (J300), giving the bZ4X a large interior space. The e-TNGA platform was jointly developed by Toyota and Subaru, with Toyota receiving credit for battery and eAxle development and Subaru for the all-wheel-drive control and collision safety.

In some markets, the bZ4X is available with an optional steer-by-wire system.{{Cite press release |url=https://global.toyota/en/newsroom/toyota/36254760.html |title=Details of All-New bZ4X BEV Announced |publisher=Toyota |access-date=2021-10-29 |date=2021-10-29 |archive-date=18 November 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211118003853/https://global.toyota/en/newsroom/toyota/36254760.html |url-status=live }} The steer-by-wire system was developed for the Chinese market and will be available with a yoke in lieu of a conventional steering wheel.{{cite news |url=https://car.watch.impress.co.jp/docs/news/1362330.html |title=トヨタ、e-TNGA採用のバッテリEV新型車「bZ4X」詳細公表 スバルのAWD技術「X-MODE」採用するツインモーター4WDと、FWDモデルをラインアップ |language=ja |trans-title=Toyota announces details of new battery EV 'bZ4X' on e-TNGA platform; lineup includes FWD and twin-motor 4WD models with Subaru's 'X-MODE' AWD technology |author=谷川 潔 |date=October 29, 2021 |work=Car Watch |access-date=3 May 2022}} Combined with the low instrument panel, Toyota stated the yoke provides a more open interior.{{cite news |url=https://car.watch.impress.co.jp/docs/news/1320554.html |title=トヨタ、新型EV「TOYOTA bZ4X」に異形ハンドルのステアバイワイヤ世界初採用 |language=ja |trans-title=Toyota adopts steer-by-wire with yoke for the new EV 'TOYOTA bZ4X' for the first time worldwide |author=椿山和雄 |date=April 22, 2021 |work=Car Watch |access-date=3 May 2022}}

The bZ4X is powered by an e-Axle unit that integrates the electric motor, gears, and inverter, manufactured by BluE Nexus, a joint venture between Toyota Group companies Aisin and Denso, with investment from Toyota. Front-wheel-drive (FWD) models use a single 1XM e-Axle rated at {{convert|150|kW|hp|0|abbr=off|lk=on}}, while all-wheel-drive (AWD) models use dual 1YM e-Axles rated at {{convert|80|kW|hp|0|abbr=on}} each, for a combined output of {{convert|160|kW|hp|0|abbr=on}}.{{Cite web |date=5 June 2022 |title=TOYOTA bZ4X TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS |url=https://media.toyota.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/pdf/220605M-bZ4X-Tech-Spec.pdf |access-date=23 December 2022}}

FWD models have an estimated range of {{convert|510|km|mi|0|sp=us|abbr=off}} and accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 7.5 seconds. AWD models have an estimated range of {{convert|460|km|mi|0|abbr=on}} and a 0–100 km/h time of 6.9 seconds. AWD versions feature the 'X-MODE' all-wheel-drive system, sourced from the Subaru Forester.

FWD variants are equipped with a {{val|71.4|ul=kWh}} lithium-ion battery pack supplied by Prime Planet Energy & Solutions (PPES), a joint venture between Toyota and Panasonic.{{Cite news |last=Kane |first=Mark |date=May 15, 2022 |title=Watch Toyota bZ4X AWD Fast Charging Test: 0-80% SOC Took One Hour |language=en |work=InsideEVs |url=https://insideevs.com/news/585939/toyota-bz4x-awd-fast-charging-curve/ |access-date=2022-08-04}} AWD models for the North American market use a 72.8 kWh pack supplied by CATL. Both battery types operate at 355 volts and support DC fast charging: up to 150 kW for FWD models and up to 100 kW for AWD models.{{Cite web |date=2022-05-01 |title=DC Fast Charging The Toyota bZ4X From 0-100% Is An Exercise In Patience!

Using a fast charger, the PPES battery can charge to 80% capacity in approximately 30 minutes. However, AWD models with the CATL battery were subject to criticism, as charging from 0–80% could take up to one hour, and vehicles were limited to three fast-charging sessions per day.

An optional roof-mounted solar panel system can generate enough electricity to provide an estimated {{convert|1100|mi|km|abbr=on|order=flip}} of range per year.{{cite web|url=https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/cars/2021/10/29/toyota-bz-4-x-electric-vehicle-suv/6191912001/|title=Toyota bZ4X electric vehicle to arrive in 2022: Toyota's first EV makes debut|first=Nathan|last=Bomey|date=October 30, 2021|website=USA Today|access-date=8 December 2021|archive-date=2 December 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211202152534/https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/cars/2021/10/29/toyota-bz-4-x-electric-vehicle-suv/6191912001/|url-status=live}} The vehicle also supports bidirectional charging and can act as a power supply in vehicle-to-home (V2H) or vehicle-to-load (V2L) applications.

In May 2025, Toyota announced a mid-cycle refresh ("facelift") for the vehicle, introducing several updates aimed at addressing criticisms of the outgoing model.{{Cite web |last=George |first=Patrick |date=11 March 2025 |title=The Toyota bZ4X Just Got Way, Way Better. Here's What's New |url=https://insideevs.com/news/752884/2026-toyota-bz4x-range-power-charging/ |access-date=13 May 2025 |website=InsideEVs |language=en}} As part of the update, the model name was changed for the North American market from Toyota bZ4X to simply Toyota bZ.{{Cite web |title=2026 Toyota bZ4x Loses The Dumb Name, Gains A Whole Lot Of Range |url=https://insideevs.com/news/759370/2026-toyota-bz-more-range-and-features/ |access-date=2025-05-13 |website=InsideEVs |language=en}}

Among the most significant changes are to the vehicles DC fast charging capabilities, allowing the vehicle to charge from 10% to 80% in approximately 30 minutes. The outgoing model had been widely criticized for its poor charging performance, with some versions requiring up to an hour to reach 80% charge and being limited to only three DC fast charging sessions per day. The improved charging performance is enabled by an improved charging curve (its ability to sustain a high level of power for a long time) and a new battery pre-conditioning feature, made possible by an upgraded heat pump system that warms the battery prior to charging. However, charging still caps out at a maximum of 150 kW, far behind competitors. The onboard AC charger has been upgraded from a 7.6{{Nbsp}}kW unit to an 11{{Nbsp}}kW unit, improving Level 2 charging performance.

For the North American market, the vehicle adopts the North American Charging Standard (NACS) port. The port is now located on the front right side instead of front left side. The vehicle gains Plug & Charge functionality, both changes improving compatibility with the Tesla Supercharger network.{{Cite web |last=Lorio |first=Joe |date=2025-03-12 |title=Toyota bZ4X EV Gets a Facelift and Now Offers up to 337 HP |url=https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a64076880/toyota-bz4x-refresh-details/ |access-date=2025-03-19 |website=Car and Driver}}

The refresh introduces a larger lithium-ion battery with a total capacity of {{val|74.7|u=kWh|ul=}}, offering a manufacturer-estimated range of up to {{Convert|314|mi|abbr=on|order=flip}}. This battery is standard on all grades except the base XLE FWD, which will use a {{val|57.7|u=kWh|ul=}} battery. A new XLE FWD Plus trim offers the larger battery, bringing the total number of trims to five: XLE FWD, XLE FWD Plus, XLE AWD, Limited FWD, and Limited AWD.{{Cite press release |date=2025-05-13 |title=Toyota bZ All Electric SUV Adds Range, Charging, and Exterior Updates for 2026 |url=https://pressroom.toyota.com/toyota-bz-all-electric-suv-adds-range-charging-and-exterior-updates-for-2026/ |access-date=2025-05-13 |publisher=Toyota |location=US}}

Powertrain enhancements include updated BluE Nexus eAxle motors that utilize silicon carbide semiconductors, contributing to higher power output. All-wheel drive models now deliver a combined {{convert|338|hp|abbr=on|4=0}}, a 50% increase over the previous version, with a 0 to 60 mph time of 4.9 seconds. Front-wheel drive models also see an increase, now producing up to {{convert|221|hp|abbr=on|4=0}}.

Interior updates address several user complaints. The plastic frame that previously separated the steering wheel from the digital gauge cluster has been removed. A larger 14-inch infotainment display replaces the earlier 12.3-inch screen, and now includes physical knobs for volume and climate control, which were notably absent and frequently criticized in the previous model.

Exterior changes include revised styling, most notably the adoption of Toyota's new "Hammerhead"-style front fascia, as well as the replacement of the divisive black plastic overfenders with available color-matched panels.

The Japanese market-spec bZ4X was announced in April 2022 and launched on 12 May 2022. The model is only available for lease through the company's Kinto service to "eliminate customer concerns" regarding battery electric vehicles while "taking the environment into consideration".

In the first phase, up to 3,000 lease applications will be accepted starting from 12 May; a second phase will follow in fall 2022, and Toyota/Kinto plan to lease up to 5,000 vehicles per year thereafter.{{cite news |url=https://car.watch.impress.co.jp/docs/news/1406960.html |title=トヨタ、新型バッテリEV「bZ4X」のKINTO月額利用料を決定 最初の4年は補助金適用で8万8220円から |language=ja |trans-title=Toyota announces KINTO monthly lease fees for new battery EV 'bZ4X': From 88,220 yen for the first 4 years with applied subsidy |author=小林 隆 |date=May 2, 2022 |work=Car Watch |access-date=3 May 2022}}
