The Toyota BZ4X Is A Good Car That Most People Should Avoid

I own the bZ4X FWD, I don‘t know what everyone is complaining about everywhere. I average around 17kwh per 100 km and get around 450 km out of a full battery, also driving on highways. For me this is efficient enough and I really love this car

I’m about to lease one at 0% with a $17k rebate from Toyota and a $7k rebate from the government. The range is plenty for me and no more paying for gas. It’s comfortable and unique, couldn’t be happier with my decision. Update: I’ve had it for about a week now. It’s been awesome! I’ve actually gotten several compliments from strangers, too. I got a fully loaded limited. There’s a charger across from my workplace and I only charge once per week. It’s comfortable, quiet, has every feature I’d ever need, spacious interior, etc. honestly not sure where all the hate is coming from. Obviously if you plan on road tripping, this isn’t the car for you, but for the average joe just commuting to work and going shopping with it, it’s fantastic. Bonus if you’ve already got a level 2 charger at home. The rebates are just the icing on the cake. If you’re on the fence, I’d say at least go take a look! You can get these things for a stupid good deal right now.

I'm driving this suv right now, and it's totally awesome. I use reading glasses and I find the information on the dashboard to be a little bit tiny for my eyesight but other than that it's amazing the trunk space allowed me to move a huge piece of furniture 66 inch length without any problem. Awesome, great love it 😍

I still want this car. I have a Rav4 which I love. However, I don’t love the fuel consumption. I mainly do school runs in traffic and have solar panels so this will work fine for me. I also live in a hot climate where it never goes below zero degrees celcius.

Great review

I bought a 2023 Rav4 Prime Se back in July. I love the way it drives. The heavy battery gives it a much lower CG than previous iterations of the Rav4. Very stable, very little body lean in corners, and it's very quiet and easy to control both the speed and the steering. I wonder how the BZ4X would feel in comparison? If Toyota can actually make good on it's hopes for a 900-mile range solid state battery in the next few years, I'd be very willing to try a BZ4X or similar Toyota crossover with that much range.

Thank you so much for your video , you made my decision easier for me

Could by any chance a buyer from MENA region have an update of the car to run car play on it as well having the screen all English?

As a European who has a BZ4X AWD Premium Bussiness I enjoy the car it's a blast to drive, it reacts well to a lot of situations and the mileage is for Europe really good. The number 2 charging is pretty okay also manage to always get the max out of the car it's a very comfortable drive with a kick and yes you can get this out of a lot of EV's, I just generally like the BZ4X spacey look and feel, They fixed a lot of flaws and Toyota always has great service.

I learned all these things the hard way: by buying one on leap of faith. Man, was I wrong! There's some other issues with the suspension system too, which are not immediately apparent, but if you run into a curb, this thing is gonna get messed up badly. I mean, come on. I owned a Prius for many years; hopped curbs more than I can remember, and it never budges. With the bz4x, it happens once, on low speed hitting fairly low curb that is actually slanted outwards, and it knocked the steering column off center. They had to re-alight three wheels, for only one of them touching the curb. I mean seriously. The charging issue is real. It pulls much lower power than any car I happen to park next, and the two times a day ruined my first long trip, and made me hate this freaking car. I am a real owner, and I can prove it. My tag number is 1st-BZ4X, which tells you how idiot I was.

If you expected it to be a sporty ride, you bought and tested the wrong ride for the wrong reasons. I compared it against a 2.5L sport that I own, I generally cannot tell the difference between the two aside from appearances. I wasn't allowed to have it for a week though. Charging stations are notorious for unreliable performance.

It's an awesome EV if you want some off-road capability. Massive ground clearance, excellent traction control system, good build quality. Some people want what this offers.

I have tested it and its a very good car on snow and ice and bz4x was better than all other evs in testing on crawling and braking ln steap hills in winter conditions, but they need an upgrade on things like charging and range. And its coming an upgrade on downsides like charging and range within a couple of mounths.

Volume control is also located on the steering wheel

Will Toyota up the mileage range on the bz4x in the future? Also will toyota make a deal with Tesla allowing fast charging at their stations? Could make a big difference

Get the software update from Toyota, makes a big difference as tested by Bjorg Nyland.

Thank you for nice explanation about this car this ev took more than two hours to full charge this the worse part of this before buy think about two times more??

Volume control on steering wheel too-toggle button on left side

I don’t understand why nobody is doing range and charging tests on the FWD model with the better battery? It has faster charging and more range for a little less money. Seems like a better buy. Every YouTuber keeps testing only the AWD model and complaining about the charging. I can’t find one single range and charging test of the front wheel drive model.

nice car review thank for videos
