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

The BZ4X is Toyota's first large scale attempt at an EV. What they made is a pretty good car that does the one thing it needed to do real well very poorly.

[@moogies3754]

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.

[@stevegorlin]

Did you find one? The dealer I went to yesterday said they were all sold out in the whole area.

[@tracecarpenter5248]

I work at a Toyota dealer in Georgia. We had 3. I just got mine, hopefully these other 2 will fly off the lot.

[@zyou8er]

Holly cow, how do you get so many rebates?

[@Sant270]

For $129 per month and 0 down for a lease its great but ONLY if you don’t do roadtrips or commute for longer than 100 miles

I saw the $17k lease cash, but where is the$7k rebate from? Looking to do the same

[@philippengelhardt5587]

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

[@eyeperture]

It has been reported that colder regions, such as Norway where 80% of new car sales in 2021 are EVs, may experience significant reductions in battery performance and charging speed.

I also got a FWD on the way, happy to hear good things from an owner with all the negativity lol

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 😍

[@fuzzybunny3235]

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.

[@laura-ann.0726]

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.

[@wandidabula2726]

Great review

[@SansungXsamsung]

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.

[@davidnicholson6901]

Completely agree. I have the Solterra equivalent to your Toyota and live in Norway from where much of the early critiscms were aired. The build quality of both badges is excellent. Superior to Tesla (for example lights filling with rain water, badly aligned panels.) which is arguably the most technically advanced EV.

[@MrDingaling007]

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.

[@davidnicholson6901]

Exactly, I own the Solterra and drive under Norwegian conditions. Satifies my requirements - love this car.

[@lubanaadi2179]

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

[@gunnarparment5050]

Actually, today, at least in Europe, the car is a pleasure. Lots have changed. First: In Europe, even the AWD model has Panasonic cells and quite good charging speed. Second: The worst bugs, that almost had me canceling my order, have been sorted out. With latest software update, we got fast charging 3.8 times from 10% to 80% before it throttles. The only thing I miss is wireless Android Auto. It works with Apple, but Android needs, at the time of writing, a cable. I hope the next software update adresses that problem.

[@CarshowAuto]

nice car review thank for videos

[@AlaaGhazala]

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.

[@ShiftingLanes]

That sounds like an awful experience. Just curious, how slow was the curb collision?

[@AlaaGhazala]

@@ShiftingLanes I reported it to Toyota. I actually think that the lane assist took over and veered the vehicle off the road. See, it was dusk, when the lights conditions are at it's worst, so something freaked the vehicle causing it to swerve. I was going around a wide circle, so very attentive to the road. If it was me, I'm sure I would have happily hopped the curb and go back to the road, instead of sliding off the curb. Toyota inspectors concluded that I was driving at 27 mph, and the lane assist was not engaged, which is a lie, because I made it default. However.. 27 mph messes up your alignment?

[@nabubabylon4919]

Wow.. that's messed up. I'm buying a tesla.

[@kubibear2890]

learn to drive rather crashing over the curb!

[@AlaaGhazala]

@@kubibear2890 so you know how it happened? But that is beside the point. Suppose I am a bad driver and crashed to a curb, should the car be messed up like that? I’m talking about the car, not me.

[@huthaifasamara5505]

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?

[@TheTom2video]

The bz4x/Solterra is way out in left field when it comes to dc fast charging and driving range. I originally reserved the Solterra. I had to cancel due to the embarrassing recall on the front wheels could fall off when rapid braking and sharp turns. Sorry to say Toyota and Subaru entered the EV market quite late. If the vehicles had a range of 300 miles and rapid charge time of less than 30 minutes, I would’ve considered it in a heartbeat. I make trips between New York and Baltimore often. This will take me forever to go to New York and back to Baltimore. This vehicle is considered the SLOW BOAT TO CHINA EV !!! I did buy the Hyundai Ioniq 5 AWD with an EPA rating of 266 miles. I got over 325 miles of range. This is my second trip with the Ioniq 5 from Baltimore to New York. In fact I made it to New York with over 96 miles of range remaining or 31%. It took me about 28 minutes to rapid charge to 90% at 150 kWh at a Electrify America charging station.

[@antcantcook960]

Toyota is committed to hybrids, they rightfully didn’t jump into an immature EV infrastructure financially and otherwise. Ask Ford how that’s going.

[@tjbartel1]

Agreed we purchased an New Ionic 5 awd and fully charged it last night and 325 is the range and real world hasn’t been far off from that. Sad so many people just think oh it’s a Toyota it’s good. But, is it? I don’t think so.

[@thatwolfboy2898]

I just went to a Toyota dealer hoping to test drive a rav4 and highlander for my mom and they had none. But they had over a half dozen bz4x's. We've considered electric (ioniq is high on the list) but I didn't know much about the bz4x. Now I know why they have so many 😂 Love my hybrid camry, but it seems like toyota is not ready for a full EV.

[@mukmanmukilteo3937]

I own a BZ4x I bought at the end of July - Limited AWD. While I do agree that the DC charging isn't what it should be and there's an initial adjustment to the steering wheel in the North America models, I otherwise find the car is a pleasure to drive and own. More importantly, the range I've gotten to date has been 260 - 270 mi. The car "learns" how you drive. I live near Seattle and took the car up to the mountains in August - about 100 mi. from home and averaged 65 mph with AC on for 80 - 90% of the trip and the range was spot on and continues to be. One advantage the BZ has over some other EVs such as Ioniqs and even Teslas is ground clearance. It's about six inches shorter than a RAV4 but is still much more elevated than some EVs. As the reviewer said, this car is for the common folk. Does its job and costs less than the $52K MSRP cited in the video.

[@rxonmymind8362]

Wow you brought up a lot of points that other reviewers did not. I appreciate the good with the bad that you reviewed. I will cross this one off my list.

[@lindaackel3990]

Indeed this review has helped a-lot…especially given the 17,500 rebate that was also offered to me.

[@Enonymouse_]

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.

[@arnegerhardsen3755]

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.

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 KZbinr 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.

[@XMG3]

this is exactly my findings, in vancouver BC here, we get $9000 rebate for this car, and when I compared the base model to all others like EV6, IONIQs, ID4, its thousands cheaper, the base BZ4X is the absolute best value EV for me, but I understand its highly region based

[@AlaaGhazala]

All reviewer were provided with the limited edition, so they can do better review. I doubt the FWD will give you a whole lot of range. The car is 5000 Ib, so the additional motor is not a significant weight addition.

[@webcomment8895]

[@ODK321]

If this was about $10-$12k cheaper I would probably buy it but not for over $50k. I figure there will be a few pre-owneds on the market in a year or so. I think people buy EVs without understanding EVs and then turn them back in. With that bring said, I would probably do a RAV4 Prime over this (if I could find one). I do like they fact that they kept physical buttons as opposed to everything going through a tablet but why get rid of the glove box?

You dont want preowned electeic vehicle. Trust me. Unless batteries are dirt cheap. You will pay more to change the battery.

[@laura-ann.0726]

If you can get your hands on a Rav4 Prime, I think you will love it. I got one back in July, and it's the best car I've ever owned. Not a lot of towing capacity, but if it had more of that, it would have less EV range and worse fuel economy. The ONLY thing I wish my Rav4 Prime had, is more comfortable seats. The front seats are kind of small, and I know Toyota could have done better: I've sat in Camrys and Highlanders, and they have more cmnfortable seats. But if you need the carrying capacity and AWD capabilities of a small SUV, you can't do better than the Rav4 Prime.

[@hdorsman]

They should update the review, after the update.

[@vulpixelful]

The charging scenario they described is not realistic. Why would you drive to 10% and then charge? It's not like getting gas, you do a couple of optimized quicker charging sessions on the way, there are apps to optimize this, if not in the car itself. And anyway, most people will charge at home and won't need to charge on the road every time they leave the house. If you live in an urban area, you don't need the AWD, so you should get the FWD that comes with more range and a faster charging battery, and drive with snow tires if you need to...

From Australia: saying "Bee-Zee 4X" instead of "Bee-Zed 4X"... lol

[@john1701a]

Road trip recommendation for any EV is to charge no higher than 60-65%, since charging-curve for any lithium battery slows significantly by that point (hence the extremely long time estimated). As for the supposed inability to charge below 32°F degrees, that is a misprint. Corrected materials list that limitation at -4°F, where you must first wait for the battery-warmer to heat the pack before charging will begin.

[@ronkemperful]

Very primitive to have to wait for a battery warmer. Better EV designs such as Tesla automatically preheat the battery using waste heat from the drive motors and the heat pump SO that the car is ready to charge upon arrival to a Super Charger. I realize that this is Toyota's first full-blown effort at EVs and hopefully the thermal design of their future car's cooling and heating systems will improve to where the consumer doesn't have to pay attention to the temperature: heat over 100 degrees or cold below zero. Consumer Reports, Savagegeese (a KZbin channel), The Car Care Nut (KZbin channel)... to name a few have been quite critical of the very poor charging speed (not necessarily to full) and of the overly expensive price for what you get. If I personally considered getting the bZ4x, my use case would be just to have it as a getting around town car or for a work commute where only Level 2 charging is needed. But for any road trips fast charging for a cross country trip during winter would be a nightmare... I would have to have a Tesla as a main car in the garage.

[@john1701a]

@ronkemperful Owners don't have to pay attention to "heat over 100 degrees". There is nothing anyone has sighted where Toyota's liquid-cooling doesn't address high temperatures. As for not using waste heat better in extreme cold, that is a reasonable generational type improvement to expect. Keep in mind, initial focus was on longevity.

[@GR-gq1us]

Charging tips: Drive until you have 10-20% battery left, it will charge faster to 80%, on fast charging stations, than trying to charge from 60%. From 80% you should charge only if you have the time or you ready need to. Otherwise, it can take a similar amount of time than from 20-80%. Charging an EV is not linear!!! Linear logic doesn’t apply here. You’re welcome, pass the message, it took me a while to understand how EV charging works. A car reviewer should now that before talking about EV charging, you are just passing ignorance to your viewers mate.

This video is clownish. He keeps talking about the time to 100%. You should never charge your EV to 100% at a DC fast charger. Every car is going to take forever for a full charge. What is the 10% to 80% time? That's the relevant metric

[@user-mi2zh6nw3n]

I owner don’t buy . To much money for this car .

[@peterfessier9780]

People who are familiar with electric cars will know this is mediocre and avoid it. Loyal Toyota shoppers who want an EV might buy it but they’ll eventually feel burned. I don’t think Toyota is doing itself any favors here. Bad specs and ugly inside and out. I’ll be interesting to see what Toyota makes when it gets serious and whether or not they can catch up.

This is one of the worst EVs around compared to the competition. If you don’t believe me look at the sales numbers. Only Toyota lovers or EV newbies will buy this car.

toyota have perfected ICE , but EV - will stay away

[@ajoykumardas6398]

This is a toy car. I am very sad to buy this car because its only problem is charging. First of all it takes long time to charge if 50% charged with level 3 or DC charging it will take 2 hours 30 minutes. Then you have to keep the car at full stop which you have to suffer in extreme cold, heat. After that if you start the car and turn on the heat and AC then you can run the car for one hundred miles. So don't waste your time and money buying this car. Thank you😅😅😂

Just get an Ioniq or EV6

[@kevinc6763]

Exactly why I just bought an Ioniq 5 😅

[@raedkhmous1292]

But for the same price range you can get ID 4

[@kevinc6763]

@@raedkhmous1292 I5 I think is superior to the ID 4 for a multitude of reasons.

I own it and regret it. This car is beyond annoying

[@ht8038]

Why?

[@davidnicholson6901]

I own the Solterra (equivalent to the AWD Toyota) and I love it.

[@aeromtb2468]

its not even made be toyota

[@eugeniustheodidactus8890]

Toyota's _"compliance car mindset"_ is a complete disgrace. They are 10 - 15 years behind Tesla with dwindling margins on vehicles that are on their way out.

[@sparkev2356]

Just get a less expensive Model Y.

[@LaithFaouri]

This is a very bad car.

[@davidnicholson6901]

Why? Give reasons. I own the Solterra (equivalent to the AWD Toyota) and I really like it.

[@Padesha456]

I got this car the worst car I owned it’s drive like garbage make noise like airplane and Toyota is awful to get back to me and I am extremely upset with them

[@davidnicholson6901]

I do not understand this. My Solterra is very quiet and we drive in Norway on summer as well as winter tyres. Very satisfied with the car.

[@Padesha456]

@@davidnicholson6901 because is not Toyota

[@davidnicholson6901]

@@Padesha456 The Solterra and Toyota AWD are essentially the same. Subaru and Toyota in partnership developed the vehicles. They are assembled together in Toyota` s factory. In the main, it is the badges and a few superficial design elements (front and back) that differentiate.

Whenever i see the bz4x 🤢

[@francislee559]

Didto try it if that car could reach 900 miles in one charge? There was a test it’s only 300 plus miles

[@surengevorkian8683]

Price too high. You need to put price down.
