The Toyota bZ4X may have an unusual exterior design and some interior quirks, but it’s a good, practical vehicle that reinforces the Japanese manufacturer’s vast car-making experience. However, by equipping it with a relatively small battery that doesn’t provide competitive range numbers, Toyota has negated all of the vehicle’s good points and made it unattractive for buyers for whom range is the most important metric when buying a new EV.
Marques Brownlee spent a week with a Toyota bZ4X, and in the video he posted on his AutoFocus channel, he praises it for being a great car. He notes that he shot the review in winter, and he can’t get over the fact that with a full charge, the vehicle only predicted a range of 199 miles, quite far off the official EPA estimate.
