  • We hit the road in the new Toyota BZ4X Motion AWD. This is a car that has some EV fans annoyed, with its modest range and reported charging issues. We can't say we experienced them - and quickly fell for this exception all-rounder.

    Very Good Video. You're spot on with Car, that's why I bought it.
    All the claims it's a bad BEV, is not true, It use Li-Ion Batteries from Panasonic. Li-Ion is Li-Ion, and you can't get around Ohms Laws
    In Europe we get 1 Million km warrenty on the batteries,

      Agree. One of the best review for that car. I just bought one. I had a Prius-Prime previously. Smooth move.

    Thanks for the review, really liked the insights into how the car fit into family life. Waiting for the 1000km video! Keen to see the results.

    The best thing about the Toyota Bz4X will be its appeal to the Toyota faithful. I think it has been much improved in efficiency compared to its initial release overseas. As you say it won't appeal to EV enthusiasts who will buy at a similar price a Tesla Model Y Long Range, Volvo EX30 AWD or Kia EV6 Air Long Range because or range, performance and charging superiority.

    Great review. The BZ4X is really nice driving car and the AWD is phenomenal in snow or slippery conditions.

    Hey Richard! Enjoyed your review very much and now think I’d have to have this over a Tesla just because it seems more functional and quality, although I’m loath to support such an anti EV brand as Toyota.
    But luckily I don’t need to decide as I already have my Polestar 2 RWD which I just absolutely love for its sportiness, usability and range.
    Ps Interesting that Gavin also seemed impressed with the Solterra, so I just wish these Japanese companies were actually committed to EVs and moving away from fossil fuels.

    Wait. Is there ev owners out there that get close to zero percent charge in everyday use? I've never been below 19%. I like that youtubers push cars below zero so we know but why would I go that low there's no need.

  • @weefinn1
    @weefinn1 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Gee Rich, i think youre very kind... wheel panels scratch, how good charging curve is being debatable, no glovebox, wireless charging can be patchy, sunroof impractical, a lot of piano black, range less than an Atto, charger connection awkward, no granny charger. I agree that this will appeal to buyers who dont know what an EV should offer, and are traditional old school Toyota loyalists. There are far better options out there for the money, and even cheaper!

    I HAVE ITS TWIN THE SOLTERA I AGREE IT IS VERY NICE TO DRIVE AND THERE IS ALMOST NO ROAD NOISE, WHEN IT COMES TO RANGE ONE MUST KNOW HOW FAR THEY TRAVEL ON A REGULAR BASIS. FOR EVERY DAY DRIVING THIS IS GREAT. HERE IN THE US I HAVE TRYED A FEW FAST CHARGERS AND THE TIME WAS GOOD OR OK NOT CRAZY LONG FROM MID 20% TO MID 80% IN ABOUT 1 HR LEVEL 3 CHARGER. ITS FUN TO DRIVE AND MY FIRST EV.

      I have it too and love how solid it is. Driving it from ATL to DC in a few days, can’t wait. We have a Model Y and 3 in the family and this feels less of a throwaway car.

    The BZ4X base model sells for about $37900 AUD in China. Here Toyota as wanting $74000 AUD drive away. I think that might qualify as price gouging?

    Remmber it is not LFP battery. You only can charge up to 90% . Unlike BYD and Tesla.

    Love my 24 bZ4x over my 23 Tesla model 3 performance. It's just a better built car overall. If you want stupid fast acceleration get a tesla, if not get a Toyota.

  • @markdev4796
    @markdev4796 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

    Had a close up look at the Soltera (BZ4 in sheeps clothing), got to say its under whelming close up, the price is way to high - why on earth would you pay more for this than a model Y. The other telling sign was the staff couldn't answer simple question so obviously their investment in the shift to EV is not there, In contrast when I talked to the BYD or Tesla folk they knew their stuff, which I think will translate into better service. Why would you by an EV from a company that is one of the largest spenders on anti EV lobbying in the world. Have owned both Telsa and BYD cars and spent 2 weeks driving a Polestar 2 all good cars but Tesla is the go to hands down, 2.5 year of ownership - no issues and still makes me smile every time I drive it.

    • @DavidKent0407
      @DavidKent0407 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      This 4WD model of the Toyota Bz4X is $82,000 when all models of the BYD Atto 3 and MG ZS EV are less than $60,000. This competes with the Tesla Model Y Long Range at $78,000 or Volvo EX30 dual motor at $79,000 both of which are much better EVs in my opinion.
