Video Summary
Here is the summary of the YouTube video review:The Toyota bZ4X is not a Tesla Model 3 or Y fighter. It is a more conservative and rational EV.
The design is adventurous, but under the skin, it is a rational EV. If you are a Toyota fan, this is the EV for you.
The bZ4X XLE trim starts at $42,000, but a $7,500 federal tax credit is available if the vehicle is leased.
The front-wheel-drive model has 252 miles of range.
All-wheel drive drops the range down to 228 miles.
DC fast charging is a bugaboo in the bZ4X. The front-wheel-drive model will charge faster, but it uses a different battery pack. It has 150 kW peak. The all-wheel-drive has 115 kW.
With its prices, the bZ4X is still selling well to those interested in an electric Toyota.
The exterior is 184.6 inches long, four inches longer than a RAV4. It has large body cladding pieces.
There is a two-stage load floor in the rear.
There is standard adaptive cruise control, autonomous braking, pedestrian detection, lane-keeping, blind spot monitoring, and rear cross-traffic detection. A 360-degree camera is also available.
Front seat comfort scored a seven out of ten. There is a tilt-telescopic column, two-way lumbar support, and manual features in both the driver and passenger seat. There is no power driver seat in the XLE trim and only manual adjustable lumbar support.
There is 77.4 inches of legroom in the back. Also, there are USB charge points and air vents. The floor is nearly flat, which makes it roomy for feet.
The handling receives a B. Zero to 60 mph is done in 6.9 seconds. Cabin noise got a B+. It's the quietest Toyota tested. The ride is graded as an A+ in terms of ride quality and an A- in fuel economy.
