Ontario winters present unique challenges for electric vehicles, yet the 2024 Toyota bZ4X rises to meet them with advanced cold-weather capabilities and intelligent powertrain options engineered for our climate.

Cold Weather Charging Excellence

Toyota has transformed winter charging with the 2024 bZ4X. A new water-to-water heat exchanger and heating adjustment valve optimize the battery thermal system for Canadian winters. These improvements maintain consistent charging speeds even during Ontario's coldest days.

The enhanced multi-information display proves invaluable for winter driving, offering real-time updates on charging status, precise range estimates, and charging time calculations. This technology helps plan winter journeys from Durham Region to Toronto or weekend trips to cottage country with confidence.

GTA Range Mastery

The front-wheel-drive bZ4X delivers an impressive 406 kilometres of range, perfect for GTA commuters. This configuration confidently handles daily drives along the 401 corridor, with ample reserve for unexpected detours or evening activities.

For drivers regularly facing Ontario's diverse weather patterns, the all-wheel-drive variant maintains a strong 367-kilometer range. This balance of capability and efficiency suits both urban commutes and weekend escapes to Muskoka or the Kawarthas.

Durham Region Winter Performance

Front-wheel-drive models confidently navigate winter roads through an advanced Snow Drive Mode. The FWD configuration demonstrates particular efficiency on cleared highways, while heated seats and the steering wheel maintain driver comfort in sub-zero temperatures.

The all-wheel-drive powertrain elevates winter capability through X-MODE, featuring dedicated Snow/Dirt and Deep Snow settings. This system, combined with 248 lb-ft of instant torque, ensures reliable handling on snow-covered streets and unplowed rural roads throughout Durham Region.

Ontario Winter-Ready Technology

Both powertrains feature essential winter comfort technologies, including dual-zone climate control with an automatic air circulation system. The heated steering wheel and heated front seats with radiant foot warmers prove invaluable during cold starts, while the rain-sensing wipers with deicers maintain clear visibility.

AWD models add specialized terrain management, including crawl mode and downhill assist control, perfect for tackling steep, snowy driveways or winter cottage access roads. The fixed panoramic moonroof on higher trims brings natural light into the cabin during short winter days.
