A lot hinges on future EV tax credits. How much, how long, how many.

Tax credits for Tesla buyers have already run out, but Tesla is still selling all they can make.

I think the bZ4X pricing breakdown here makes a lot of sense.

Here is the official American and Canadian pricing for the bZ4X.

Thanks for including the Canadian pricing! It's interesting how differently Toyota Canada has chosen to equip our models compared to the U.S.!

For Japan:

FWD: 6,000,000 yen (~USD$47,721)
4WD: 6,500,000 yen (~USD$51,697)

The Japanese bZ4X is only for subscription rental. Consumers must apply for rental through Kinto, a new car subscription rental company owned by Toyota. The first batch is limited to 3,000 vehicles. Japanese officials said that the subscription-based rental sales model can eliminate customers' concerns about battery performance, vehicle maintenance costs and vehicle depreciation rates, and can also use batteries without waste through 3R (Rebuild, Reuse, Recycle). In Japan, the new bZ4X can be leased for up to 10 years.

I'm actually surprised that Toyota priced the entire bZ4X lineup slightly higher than the ID.4. We're paying $2,000-$3,000 more.

The Chinese version from GAC Toyota has 5 models: Elite, long battery Elite, long battery Pro, X-MODE Pro, and X-MODE Ultra.

It will launch in 6 colors: Nebula Red, Twilight Gold, Far Mountain Gray, Pure Snow White, Bright Moon Silver, and Vast Black.

Interesting. Followed the link and read all the details.
WHY, does the US version get the very DUMB'ed down version and at a Higher Cost?

Japan Version:
Preset Seat Positions
Advanced Parking (they call it Intelligent Parking Assistant)
Digital Rearview Mirror
SOLAR charging Dome
... I'm sure there is more ...

And again, their Fully Loaded comes in at $44,630 USD (I suppose they could argue they don't get any tax rebates, but seriously, loaded with features for less). hmmm

Side note, i'm betting the 2nd or 3rd version for the US may eventually get some of these features.... They'll add them on as "Oh look what we did, the newly upgraded 2024 edition, look at the features" bwhahah 😁

A couple of those features are reserved for the Lexus in the US, and to hit a low price point for the bZ4X. A couple are also avaiilable on the Solterra in the US, which is why I am buying a Solterra instead of a bZ4X.

I really like the Solterra too (of course with all the options it has a higher price than the bZ4X), although, with the Solterra, it doesn't come with the Radiant leg heaters (and my climate needs it and the fact that its low power drain makes it quick and easy to stay warm) If I lived in Southern California, I probably wouldn't care if the car had it or not.... Anyway, this feature was more important than all the others the bZ4X was missing at this point and time.
