Here is a summary of the YouTube video:
The updated Toyota bZ4X has slight design changes in the front, and comes in gray. Aerodynamics have been updated for more efficiency, leading to more range. Acoustics have been updated (NVH) for a more silent interior. The high gloss black trim is now larger. The wheels are 18 to 20 inches. The model is 4.69 meters (185 inches) long, making it the largest Toyota EV. Two smaller EVs have been introduced; the Toyota C-HR+ and the Toyota Urban Cruiser, which is even smaller. It has updated batteries of either 73 kWh or 58 kWh, which are gross figures. The usable battery size is now 5 kWh more than the older battery. Top speed is 160 km/h (100 mph).
Acceleration figures have changed, with a front-wheel-drive version and a new all-wheel-drive version with an upgraded horsepower figure of 343 hp. This accelerates from 0-100kmh in 5.2 seconds. The taillight strip runs through in the rear. The boot has 450 liters of space and has an electric hatch. Underneath is more space for the cable. You can fold the seats to increase the trunk size. The car also has an optional JBL sound system.
The cockpit has been updated, with a 14 inch screen instead of 12.3. The screen fits the vehicle well. There is a haptic interface on the screen, known from the Ford Mustang Mach E. The car comes with high grade leatherette seats that are soft, with good quality. There is also a large center console. There are two inductive charging pads, but they are not ventilated and may overheat. It also features real buttons and interfaces. The car does not have a head-up display. The instrument displays are placed higher, so a heads up display isn't needed. The Toyota bZ4X also has a panoramic roof. AC charging is 22kw, previously 11kw. DC charging remains at 150kW. DC charging has 10-80% in 30 minutes.
The car can be had with fabric on the interior for the basic option. The car also reworked the suspension for a more comfortable ride. The tow capacity has been doubled from 750 KG to 1.5 tons. Prices will be from 50,000 to 60,000 EUR. It comes with a heat pump to assist battery efficiency in winter.
