Both variants have had their electric motor set-ups tweaked to boost power.
The FWD's updated front-mounted electric motor has resulted in modestly improved performance compared to the previous model, up to 165kW and 269Nm.
The AWD has received a more substantial boost in power, with its front and rear electric motors now pumping out 252kW and 438Nm in comparison to 160kW/337Nm.
This extra power for the AWD means braked towing capacity has been doubled to 1500kg.
There is more good news for buyers with a host of new features available as standard, such as a bigger 14.0-inch touchscreen and two wireless phone chargers.
Other standard improvements include a heated steering wheel and power tailgate.
The bZ4X has faced a tough battle in the mid-size SUV segment, with less than 1000 sales so far in 2025.
It is not alone in its all-electric struggles in the segment in recent times.
Toyota will be adding another variant to the bZ4X line-up, with a ‘Touring’ spec arriving in the second quarter of 2026. It includes a more powerful electric motor set-up and increased rear storage capacity.
