Payload = 5059 - 4455 ~ 604lbs
I'm hoping to numbers are wrong, since that seems very low.
Thanks!

Visit the official Toyota website to check out the full specs of the 2023 BZ4X to see everything this unique BEV offers you for an exciting driving experience.
Its AWD version has a payload weight of 1156lbs. I'm assuming the Solterra will be roughly the same. And with that payload, it has a higher capacity than my Outback which has a maximum payload of 900 lbs. So, the Outback can carry four Texans; and the Solterra can carry four Texans and their backpacks.
Sweet! Thanks for the correction. That is way more reasonable and plenty of payload weight!Here are the bZ4X's specs:

I wonder why the reported GVWR is so much higher for the bZ4X AWD than for the Solterra? 561 lbs (255 kg) is a huge difference.Sweet! Thanks for the correction. That is way more reasonable and plenty of payload weight!
Must be a typo or weight restrictions for the Japanese models. I wish they would put up the warranty, specs, and owner's manual on subaru.com.
It's a 5 person car. If all 5 weight 200 lbs each, that's 1000 lbs. What happens?

I suspect 3 200 lb people will feel a bit crowded in the rear seat...

I agree. "Practically", a vehicle of this size is a four seater for full size adults. The same is true for the Forester and other similar rides. Even a larger midsize SUV like the Ascent isn't super comfortable for three full-size adults in a middle bench seat configuration. The width just isn't there.
OK, say 4 large men at 250 lbs or more. That's 1000 lbs or more without stuff in back. Combined weight of passengers and cargo should never exceed 925 lbs, What will happen?

Technically the vehicle will be overloaded.

What Jay said. Overloaded by specification and not legal. It's not so much about damaging the vehicle at that slight overload, but if there was an accident, it potentially could be a liability factor.
Looks like I won't be driving the boys up to Green Bay for a Packer game!
I believe the extra weight-capacity is due to the fact that all Solterras will have dual motors.
