Car Deal of the Day: Toyota’s bZ4X looks like family EV gold at under £300 a month
Toyota’s electric family car is a solid all-rounder at an appealing price, making it our Deal of the Day for 2 May.
- Refined, comfortable drive
- 352-mile range
- Only £299 a month
Toyota’s bZ4X electric family car didn’t take the market by storm at launch, but it’s upped its game since and now represents an attractive option in an increasingly crowded class – particularly on the £299-per-month lease deal we found via the Auto Express Buy A Car service.
This particular offer comes courtesy of Select Car Leasing. The mechanics are familiar, with an initial payment of £3,937 followed by three years of monthly payments of £298,58.
The 5,000-mile mileage limit might present a problem for some, so switching to 8,000 miles for £308 per month seems like a sensible option. You could also go up to a four-year deal with that mileage limit, and pay £312 per month. However you configure it, the deal is one of the best we’ve seen on the bZ4X for some time.
And the car itself? The model on offer features the larger battery available in the bZ4X, a 73kWh unit with a 69kWh usable capacity. The front-wheel-drive layout means you get a range of 352 miles on the official combined cycle. When we tested this car in very cold weather, it returned 255 miles on a charge, so you could easily see 300 miles in average UK temperatures with a gentle approach.
The 224bhp power output is good for a lively 0-62mph sprint of 7.4 seconds. There are unlikely to be any complaints about performance generally, but we’ve found that it can occasionally struggle for traction in the wet. The real trump card of the Toyota, though, is ride comfort and in our view, you aren’t going to find a significantly more refined EV for the price.
The car being offered is in Design trim which sits in the middle of the range. It means 18-inch alloy wheels, the 14-inch Smart Connect infotainment system, ambient cabin lighting and a comprehensive haul of safety and driver assistance tech. With decent cabin space for five occupants and a 452-litre boot, there’s a lot to like here.
