Nice car but wrong price. Based on its features and competition it’s $20k over priced. It should be sub $50k here in Aus.
Thanks, I think I will stick to my Atto3 and enjoy the better appointments and $25K in savings.
Agreed! We have an Atto 3 as well and more than happy with it.
This car is leaving all the Chinese rivalries yet to come on shore laughing their lungs out: performance, price, techs, range, features and looks.......
I suspect strong regen is difficult to execute with RWD, so most manufacturers just stick to FWD. If you strong regen you want front wheels stopping your car not the rear wheels. I wonder how some RWD cars manage one pedal drive. Do they engage breaks at the front so front always breaks stronger than the rear.
We have 2 bz4x in our businessfleet, next to Tesla's model Y. The Toyota is a good bev. Good range given the small battery pack, good warranty and good build quality as well. Nothing wrong with the car at all. Nearly as efficiënt ascthe model Y. Sales, lease!, are picking up in the Netherlands.
2nd best sold car in Norway, after model Y, this bz4x.....bestseller in Europe, nr 1 ev market.
We achieve 435km range in summer and 325 a 350km in winter. We charge at our office or at home.
On the US Toyota is giving $16,500 toward purchasing or leasing one of these. Plus, some states and municipalities give another few thousand dollars. I got one 3 weeks ago. I love it.
Three year lease is $199 p/month.
@@kennethprocak5176 Depends on how much you put down. It will be more with zero down, or less with 4-5K up front.
This car is born Old
This price point doesn’t quite justify what it offers 😢 good luck Toyota
Agreed! Too expensive for what you get. Plus I'm not a fan of how they've positioned the front dash either.
Almost giving these away on lease in the US. Not selling.
It’s quality with 10 years warranty in Europe you can feel it’s made in Japan and not like Tesla in China
Overcapacity according to the USA
too late, too expensive
I will lease this
Damn that too pricey, might stick with my Toyota corolla hybrid.
Definitely not worth the price. Looks like a $30k car
It looks like it was in an accident and been repaired half-assed.
Range, fast charging rates, price all count against this EV. When you also factor in insurance costs, likely resale and the poor state of EV infrastructure it is an empathic no from me. I doubt Toyota will sell many of these.
You know this thing is rubbish. Overseas they have a yoke steering wheel because you can’t see the instrument cluster. No glovebox, overpriced, and this model went on sale here because it’s not selling overseas. Ford ,gm, stallantis, merc, have all just jumped into bed with byd . Buffet was no fool.
What a rip off. EV’s are far from perfect
$70,000 on road for the base FWD ??? And I'd still have to charge it at home using coal fired electricity (solar panels don't work at night).
I care about our planet. I recycle plastics, cans, and feed local birds with food scraps.
But I could buy an X-Trail with the same power, torque, better size, better back seat room, for $40,000 !
I think I'll save my $30,000 .
Go vegan if you really want to make a difference. Please stop feeding the birds you old man. It doesn't help the birds.
Charging it with coal based energy is still more efficient than using an internal combustion engine. Stop reposting fud.
Now I can see why Toyota CEO is crying loud against EVs as Toyota is losing out big time like Nokia & Kodak.
2 years ago, I bought a Toyota, not Tesla. Toyota EV is more expensive, with literally no expensive features looking like RAV4 with add-on. 70k is a luxury price you are paying.
Plus, 71kwh battery is hardly achieving 400KM this means each 1 KWH Toyota is doing a 5.64km economy. On other hand Tesla have a 58Kwh battery only 50Kwh usable and people achieve around 450km giving literally 8.5 - 9km per Kwh which is 30% more and means cheaper as one KWH on road side cost $0.60 average.
Plus Tesla cheaper and more better design with premium glass roof, sound proof kind of with better software and quality design and built.
I will say Tesla is ahead of Toyota a decade. Now Toyota need to replan or lose out
In the meantime, Tesla laid off 10% of its global workforce. Does that sound like a company that is worrying Toyota?
@bazinga615 staff laid off is different thing. Toyota not able to sell 500 EVs in Australia until now, and their target for a full year is 1500. Tesla sold 100k EVs already in Australia by now.
If we talk about sheer volume, yes, Toyota is selling more, just like initially Nokia was selling more mobiles than iPhone & Samsung.
Toyota & Honda were middle-class cars. Do you see any Honda sales now with the same numbers they used to sell a few years ago ??
After Covid19 Toyota & Honda prices on 50k means they leave the 25 - 45k space to fill the gap, which is now rapidly filling by MG, GWM & BYD.
I am not against Toyota infact they make the most reliable cars. Now, they need to make sure many things they lacking otherwise, other companies will take a big chunk of their market
@@frankact6342 you’re assuming the car market will be a one trick pony- ie all EVs.
The fact is the most successful manufacturers will be those that can profitably make quality cars across petrol, hybrid, plug in hybrid, BEV and even diesel. Toyota and many brands know the risks in putting all the eggs in one basket.
2 years too late. Tech already 5 years behind.
Which tech?
5 years too late
@rdmalonso1 Since EVs haven't reached mainstream yet (still dependent on subsidies and still building infrastructure) claims of late have no merit. It's like being late to a tailgate party; that has nothing to do with the game itself.
@@john1701a Hahaha, keep deluding yourself buddy. Whatever helps you sleep at night.
@@chucknorris8704 I'm not the one making arbitrary assessments. Explain what tech your post refers to. Late for what?
$70,000? In two years' time, you could probably get two EVs from China
with 800kw ultimate fast charging autonomous driving assistance
You can already get two MG4 at this price! And that's probably a better car all around 😂😂😂
This car seems terrible.
Slow, costly, FWd and less tech compared to others.
