Somehow it has become one of the most controversial EVs on the market - but we were keen to find out what Toyota’s first electric vehicle is like. Paul Maric gets behind the wheel to find out.

    66k for a base model .The prices are getting ridiculously funny 😆
  • Glad you commented on the aircon. In a hot country like Australia, it's way more important than the number of cupholders, sound of the horn, or stuff like that.
  • @crez1988
    over 60K base model and you get cloth seats... No wonder Chinese brands are taking more customers away from toyota
  • @Assaa302
    So this one is much more expensive than the RAV4, the motor has less power with similar acceleration and a drivers display you can’t see. No thanks
  • @BuRNingFLaN
    Thanks for including the Driver Aids test section with all your reviews! Very nice seeing Toyota's Safety Sense 3.0 keeps the car centered in lane even on the third lane-- is Toyota's system the best at lane centering? Which would you recommend. Thanks!

    Paul, totally agree about the piano black, it looks great but shows fingerprints and any amount of dust. That speedometer location appears to be a real design flaw .... hope they take note of that .... but maybe they won't, because you've been mentioning piano black issues for some time now. Another great review!
  • @tonychooi7866
    Possible to share the name of the app you used for acceleration and braking measurements?
  • @trentmorris2502
    I have a new drinking game. Take a drink every time Paul says “I was not expecting that”
  • I drove the BZ4X today. I had no problem seeing the speed. I simply raised the electrically adjustable seat so that I could see it. Easy. I am 165cm.
  • Hi Paul, as an ex Australian Toyota Head of interior design (fabrics), when you are referring to the dash coverage as fabric are you meaning not the Pleather as normally used or Polyester? If it’s the later it will be a dust accumulator and a poor design. With the last Australian made Camrys I was one who was against the final design being a velour as although nice to touch the QC was difficult as it was a fabric choice that cost nearly twice as much as the alternative Pleather.
  • @anthonyabdo5364
    I was waiting to hear about comparing to subaru solterra sister car but I assume you will test that AWD and do light off roading in that!
  • @YasirKhan-bj5wx
    @carexpert is this the same platform as the Lexus LBX ? You guys going to review that soon ??
  • @ptizzle9343
    The reason it wasn't released earlier in Aus was there some issues in the US market (eg the wheels were coming loose). Toyota Australia did not want to release the car until those issues had been resolved.
  • @CrackingGate
    Pretty obvious they are not serious about BEV vehicles.
  • @-Derp-
    8:21 Cop: 'Well sir, do you know how fast you were going?' Me: 'No. I am serious, look!'
  • @Josedavidch
    Hello Paul, how about off road tests for the Chery iCar 03? Will that electric SUV surprise or disappoint?
  • @Anthony_TypeR
    Just to confirm, the 10 year battery warranty does come with a caveat, The battery is warrantied for five years, plus an additional five provided the vehicle is subjected to an annual battery health check. Toyota guarantees the battery for eight years to 70 per cent of its initial capacity.

    Took one for a drive at my local Toyota dealer yesterday, the first thing I found was the same as you, couldn't see the screen. I tried moving the steering wheel into different positions but ended up moving my seat into a higher position so I could see my speed. I couldn't fault it in any other way, I could easily live with it, but not at $70k.
  • @georgezhou814
    No joke, the release of this Toyota EV in Australia will possibly push the sales of Chinese EV and Tesla higher, after customers are shopping around and comparing. Why not holding your Hybrid strength, Toyota?
