Toyota bZ4X Review — Some Good, Some Bad
, it exclaims, “When it comes to SUVs, this all-new, all-electric model is breaking the mold. Futuristic styling and designs — like the curved front bumper and large hammerhead shark-like shape that runs from the top of the hood to the top of the headlamps — give the bZ4X an alluring silhouette that’s sure to stand out. The rear design commands attention thanks to the combination lamps, rear hatch and bumper’s trapezoidal theme, which extends all the way to the tires.
I don’t know about you, but when the first thing a car company has to say about a new model is a “large hammerhead shark-like shape that runs from the top of the hood to the top of the headlamps,” it suggests it has its priorities backwards. Apparently Toyota is more interested in convincing people the bZ4X is just another SUV, except with a battery and an electric motor. Maybe that’s smart marketing — “Nothing to fear here, just another SUV from the folks you know and trust.
It comes standard in XLE trim, which offers most of the amenities customers might want except for a power driver’s seat, and a 71.4 kWh battery. The AWD version has a 72.8 kWh but can only manage 228 miles of range — about the same as a Nissan LEAF with a 60 kWh battery. The Subaru Solterra is a clone of the bZ4X AWD with identical specs.
In the interest of full disclosure, Toyota says in a footnote,”Charging times are estimated based on ideal charging conditions. As temperatures decrease below 50 degrees Fahrenheit, charging time will increase significantly. Drive battery level and condition, charger specifications and DC charging more than twice per day also can negatively affect charging time. DC charging may not work on AWD bz4x when the temperature is below 32 degrees Fahrenheit.
In the final analysis, you pays your money and you takes your choice. If the Toyota bZ4X floats your boat, go for it. Drive electric. Be happy.
