^It was trendy at the time, and I'm guessing they don't want to jeopardize the ICE models' brand equity. Remember, the pre-facelift Bz4X was inferior to their EV competitors by a good gap, and these facelifted bZ close the gap quite a bit.
Mercedes did something similar by separating their traditional ICE models with an EQ lineup of EVs, but is now introducing new traditional models with EV powertrains (CLA, GLC etc.). Toyota is also starting to do the same with the new Highlander EV.
