The 2024 Toyota bZ4X is set to be the tone-setter for Australia's best-selling car brand, with the all-new mid-size SUV its first all-electric vehicle. That's right; fans of the Japanese brand finally have a zero-emissions alternative to the segment-defining RAV4 Hybrid.

But the bZ4X isn't arriving alone, as its twin under the skin, the Subaru Solterra, is entering local showrooms at the same time, with very little separating the two – aside from their pricing and features. Point being, the competition is stiff from the get-go and that's before you take into account other rivals, including the Kia EV6.

In this expert review, CarsGuide Contributing Journalist Andrew Chesterton puts the new bZ4X to the test to find out if it has what it takes to not only be better value than the Solterra, but also a genuine alternative to the RAV4 Hybrid. Yes, it's got its work cut out for it.

  • @srcllee4115
    heared that the range is about 60% of toyota claimed, someone did the test
  • @jessexi
    Very keen to understand its target customer segment
  • @dutchie7302
    interesting review however next time please stop repeating the same video footage over and over and PLEASE keep your hands still. constructive advice not criticism.
  • @henvan8737
    Efficiency is still the big negative in the BZ4X, so reviewers say you only achieve 50% of quoted range.
  • @avdp9095
    Despite what the media says, thus is a good EV, 10 years warranty on batteries and given small battery pack a good range. 2nd bestselling car in Norway, nr 1 EV market in Europe....
  • @mauricemunsie3527
    It is bait to get buyers into the showroom, then flog an ICE or hybrid vehicle.
  • @chucknorris8704
    This car's wheels may fall offf????? Have they fixed that properly?
  • @CatsMeowPaw
    Wait... leasing costs $1700 per month over 36 months. That's $61,200, and you own nothing. Have to return the car. Or just buy it for $66,000. I know people in high income brackets use novated leasing to save on tax, unless you pay 47% income tax it's an insanely bad deal.
  • @becbell9982
    Are we ever going to get a small, affordable EV in Australia?!?!
  • @00VII

  • @pavyjohal
