I DID NOT EXPECT THIS WITH THE 2024 TOYOTA BZ4X...
Toyota's FIRST EVER Electric Car, the 2024 Toyota BZ4X had a rough start. Poor range, thermal management and even reports of wheels not falling off was pretty bad for the Toyota Brand... However, with MAJOR updates since its launch, have they fixed this Tesla Model Y competitor?
In a lot of ways, the 2024 Toyota BZ4X is REALLY GOOD. It has great looks, a nice interior and even drives very well - but with a steep price tag for any EV, is it worth your hard earned cash? Especially when the Kia EV6, Kia EV5 and Hyundai IONIQ 5 exist? Let's talk about that in today's review!

The Toyota Playbook: Step 1: spend all the money on lobbying against EVs and for Hydrogen and petrol. Step 2: panic that everyone is starting to buy EVs en masse, make an underperforming EV and price it like it’s market leading for…reasons? Step 3: sell

Have you looked at comparable vehicle price’s lately? Toyota may not have the “perceived” quality of others, but they are certainly leaps ahead in reliability and cost of ownership… and that means fantastic resale value and almost no down time. Think of it like an actual investment… and it makes irrefutable sense. Loan, lease or outright purchase… the cost of ownership, no downtime and resale value are why Toyota are so successful.

@@lukeclifton4392 This may certainly be the case with internal combustion engines, but not with electric vehicles. Toyota does not have battery technology. They use cheap Chinese batteries, so they are not reliable or valuable. Also, because they focused all their energy on hybrids, they did not have electric vehicle technology. For that reason, the BZ4X was immediately recalled and refunded due to a defect in the wheels falling off upon release. Missing wheels mean that Toyota has not completed complete quality testing and design verification through a separate process from the existing internal combustion engine. In addition, the BZ4X is very expensive compared to its quality. This is simply because Toyota does not have a production line dedicated to electric vehicles, so it is expensive despite the cheap materials and quality, not because the product is great. Yes, in the eyes of electric car manufacturers, the BZ4X is nothing but trash. Still, it is more expensive than normal products. This is nothing more than a fraudulent act that deceives customers by taking advantage of the reliability shown by Toyota. People just like you.

One differentiator could be how much you want boot space. Model Y has like 800L + 100L frunk. Atto 3 has like.. 450L maybe. That's without seats down.
@davidtaylor3
@davidtaylor3 13 днів тому
Drive both and go with the one you prefer. If you like diving into menus to do simple things like adjusting the mirrors, then you might prefer the Model Y. I find that sort of thing offensive, so we went with the Atto 3 and couldn’t be happier.

The AWD model starts at $80,866 drive away, about $25,000 more than is should be, Scratchy plastics, no glovebox, mediocre interior, drivers display looks like something from 1990, average performance for $80K, poor range, Toyota is guaranteed to sell hardly any.

@@Djnosey97 True, but $80K is an awful lot of money for brand loyalty on a lackluster vehicle, let the fanboys buy it, resale value will plummet quicker than a ten ton concrete block, it will be worth nothing in two years, Toyota should just stick to Hybrids, leave the electric vehicles to those who know how to make them.

"Charges at 150 kw, so will take 2 hours". Does it have a 300 kWh battery? I don't think do. My Volvo XC40 Recharge charges at 150 kW and I've never spent more than 20 minutes at a high speed charger. My charging doesn't slow at all until I get above 80%.

The name more or less means "futuristic RAV4" too! I kinda go back and forth on the styling on this vehicle I think; can't really decide if I like it or not. It definitely looks like a Toyota though.

How is the base model 15k better value than the BYD Atto 3? this price point makes no sense for an NMC battery and a bunch of missing options and less range. Better ride and quicker charging for 15k...that toyota badge needs to be pretty strong to get sales for this poor value car

Toyota are smart and they’re right. Give everyone the choice of petrol, diesel, hybrid and electric. Then eventually it will be hydrogen fuel cell cars, but they are years away from mainstream.
