Video Summary
Here is the summary of the YouTube video:The Toyota bZ4X is surprisingly capable off-road. The AWD version is recommended, especially in winter. The "X Mode" button is useful for deep snow or mud. A cruise control function aids in very slow off-road driving.
The car has 215 horsepower, which is plenty, and it goes from 0-60 mph in less than 7 seconds. It's more enjoyable than other off-road cars.
The range plummets on the motorway, especially in cold weather. At 100% charge, the range can be as low as 170 miles, but a heated windscreen is lacking, a feature the competitor, Lexus RZ, has. To save energy, the heater may have to be turned off, relying on the heated seat and steering wheel.
The buttons and materials in the interior are nice, promising durability, but some think it looks like a van. Shiny black plastic picks up fingerprints. Switch placement is a bit random, so the owner may have to look through the instruction book.
The centre console feels cramped, without much legroom. There is no glove box. There is space underneath though, but difficult to get to.
There's an odd problem with car play where it talks to itself and answers its own questions.
The car doesn't have a rear wiper. If the aerodynamics are good, this may not be needed.
The driver alert warning is irritating. There's a camera above the steering wheel. This can set off the driver alertness warning if you have your hand at the top of the wheel.
The quality is high, as demonstrated by a solid-sounding door closure. However, the reviewer is not recommending it until efficiency is improved.
