Toyota BZ4X review: What took Toyota so long?!

Uploaded 3 years ago by carwow

Video Summary

- Toyota's first built-from-the-ground-up full EV.
- Design has a steeply raked rear window with an interesting spoiler.
- On high-end trim, the rear bumper should be body-colored.
- Side cladding should be body colored.
- Charging port cover and other cheap-feeling parts bring down the exterior design.
- The steering wheel is low compared to the instrument display, which could be slightly annoying.
- Interior quality is really good.
- The base model gets a smaller screen; the larger screen looks impressive.
- The reversing and surround-view cameras have very low definition.
- It has wireless Apple CarPlay, but Android Auto requires a plugged-in connection.
- The functions are mostly controlled via the steering wheel, with not much available through the infotainment system.
- There is no glove box, which negatively affects storing and hiding items.
- Back seats have loads of knee and headroom, and the floor is almost flat.
- The doors do not open wide, but the car still easily accommodates a rear-facing baby seat.
- All versions of this car get adaptive cruise control with lane-keeping assist as standard equipment.
- The boot capacity is 452 liters, not big compared to other electric SUVs.
- There is no load lip, so sliding cargo in and out is easier, and there's a small amount of storage.
- You should just short list this car.
- AC charging is limited to 6 kW rather than the typical 7 kW.
- The real-world range is 250 miles, which is pretty good.
- 0-60 is 6.2 seconds; a respectable time but not the quickest.
- The suspension is well designed.
- The turning circle is impressive.
- Remote operation of the A/C using the keyfob.
- X-mode: developed by Subaru.
- Yoke Steering Wheel option available.
