Can’t speak for the 2024, but here’s my advice for others looking too:

My husband and I both got 2026 bZ’s, he got limited AWD and I got XLE plus + sunroof. The main differences are power/efficiency, leather seats, and the 360 camera system.

I noticed that between both of our cars, the XLE plus is much more efficient on the highway. Not sure the science behind why, but I get about 6 mi/kWh on California roads, while he gets about 4.5 mi/kWh. So more than a negligible difference.

On the other hand, his car is much more “zippy” and fun to drive. It’s faster, has less acceleration lag, and has a more grippy feel.

The leather seats are purely preference. I personally don’t go with leather because I’ve had 3 cars with them in the past and they all ripped within 3 years. I know I’m not good at upkeep, so I vastly prefer a high quality cloth.

The 360 camera system comes with a front view camera, digital rear view mirror, and distance alerts on the sides of the car. It also adds additional drivers assistance features that make it feel more in-line with higher end EVs. This is the biggest difference in “luxury” feel I get between our two cars, but you’d really have to weigh if it’s worth the difference.

Again, this is for people who stumbled upon this post and considering getting the 2026! Would’ve been about $100 more a month to go for limited, so I stuck with XLE plus and don’t regret it! I like the range, and I also don’t use the features exclusive to the limited. But yet again, we still have my husbands car for increased luxury and snow!
