We're happy with our bZ4X. It drives beautifully and the AWD is sublime on snowy and icy roads. The plastic parts is very easy to maintain. Today I washed the car. I finished of the "outdoor" plastic trim with ValetPro plastic makeup. Sadly the wife has taken a shine to it, and I rarely get behinds the wheel. I have to settle with our Lexus. Life is rough.

Idk why people hate the design of this car so much. I personally love the brutalistic look of it. Having a hammerhead shark as a reference sounds good

A fair and realistic review. And nice to see the reviewer isnt following the out-of-date commentry on charging speeds. But no mention of software? Does navigation include charging locations? Is battery level and navigation linked?

[@handofkindness]

When charging at public stations some charging units have a to higher output for car but no one has mentioned it the battery will end? Right or wrong?

[@Quickyprd]

Did Toyota fixed horrible winter range and not good summer real range?

[@avdp9095]

Yes they did. We achieve 450km in summer and 385km in winter, there is a 3rd update underway with better charging results in winter and extra 5% range, so 485km in summer and 400km during winter. Considering the small battery pack of the bz4x, very good. The EV motors are very efficiënt, on par with the Tesla model Y, as tested in the Netherlands recently. This is the 3rd bestselling car in Norway.

Where did you get news for the 3rd update underway?

@@avdp9095 On par with Tesla???? Go head to head range test and see with both Dual motors versions. You will find a very deferent result. Make sure its and late 2023 tesla or your not apples to apples.

Shure, now put the numbers the next time, in order for viewers to have a proper perspective. I FOUND IT Tesla #1 sales 23,088 Toyota BZ4x 3rd place with 5,394. Does not have a glove box? My chevy bold desingned about 2015, and on sale since 2017 has it. It also have the space below the xconsole. Gives 260+ miles real world range@@avdp9095

A Total Flop. Very low range for the money asked.
